Fun and educational
Khadija_F, May 2024
We had the most knowledgeable guide Dimitri who made the trip not only rich in information but also fun! He created a great atmosphere along with our driver Zaza who was very competent in the mountainous roads
Extremely fun day tour
Jordi_M, May 2024
Fantastic daytrip. Together with our guide Givi aka Freddie we had a terrific day. He is so positive and energetic and made sure everybody was having a great time. Even though because of snow we couldn't see Kazbegi, he was quick to make some other new terrific plans to make sure our day was fantastic. He knows a lot about various different topic and loves to chat with everyone. The sights were all terrific, even despite the weather being awful. As a replacement for Kazbegi we went to Mtskheta and the Chronicle of Georgia. In Mtskheta we were even invited to a wine house to do a spontaneous wine tasting with shots of liquor included. All free of charge. Amazing value for money and a guaranteed fun day. Also I shouldnt forget that our driver Zaza was spotless as well, through some difficult roads.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience with us! We are delighted to hear that your day trip, despite the unexpected snow, turned out to be a terrific adventure.

His ability to adapt the itinerary on the fly and ensure everyone still had a great time is a testament to his dedication and knowledge. It’s wonderful to know that the spontaneous visit to Mtskheta and the Chronicle of Georgia, along with the unexpected wine tasting, added to the charm and enjoyment of your day. We're glad that these experiences provided not just fun but also excellent value for your money. A big thank you as well for acknowledging Zaza, our driver, who navigated the challenging roads safely. We'll make sure both Givi and Zaza receive your kind words and praise—it will certainly make their day. We appreciate your recommendation and are thrilled you had such a positive and memorable experience with us. We look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure soon!
Probably the guide Dimitri - he was unquestionably full of knowledge and friendly with it.

Best tour ever!!!
Prerna_A, May 2024
The best tour guide and tour group experience ever! Hercules was very kind, funny, full of energy, and knew his Georgian history very well. Soso, our driver, was very good with managing through winding roads, even in the rain and snow! Unfortunately the views at Kazbegi were very foggy with no visibility - highly suggest looking at the weather ahead of time and avoiding the rain. Also, check the temperature specifically at Kazbegi as it was 30 degrees (Fahrenheit) lower than Tbilisi when we went, and we were unprepared for the cold
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had an exceptional tour experience with Hercules and Soso. Hercules' knowledge, energy, and humor are what we pride ourselves on, and we're delighted that he made your tour memorable. Likewise, Soso's skillful driving through challenging conditions is commendable, and we're glad it added to your sense of safety and enjoyment. We appreciate your feedback regarding the weather conditions at Kazbegi. The mountain weather can indeed be quite unpredictable, and visibility can be affected by fog. We always strive to provide our guests with the best possible experience, and your suggestion to check the weather and temperature in advance is very valuable for future travelers. Thank you for choosing our tour group, and despite the foggy conditions at Kazbegi, we hope the rest of your experiences in Georgia were positive. We look forward to welcoming you back, perhaps during a clearer season, for another adventure!
It was a very special day of travel.

Budget Friendly Tours - an amazing tour company. They are very energetic and lively. Our tour guide Chinka was exceptional and friendly. She explained about the history, took a lot of photographs, danced well. All in all kept us occupied in the vehicle also with entertaining games and ice breakers. It felt like a family to be honest. One of the best tours of my life. Definitely recommend Budget Friendly tours!!!

Best Georgian Tour: I Went Twice
JD_R, Apr 2024
This is the best tour in Georgia. I went in October with Hercules and had such a wonderful experience I decided to do it again. It didn’t disappoint. Hercules is an incredible, knowledgeable, and fun guide. He is dedicated to ensuring everyone has a safe and fun time, he is also an excellent photographer and helps break the ice so people are comfortable getting to know each other on the trip. Even after the tour he helped some of the guests get taxis back to their accommodations, a real show of Georgian hospitality. Our driver expertly & safely took us up and down the winding mountain roads. Truly a taste of Georgia from key historic sites, to authentic cuisine, to the snow-capped mountains. Do not skip this tour, your trip to Georgia will be incomplete without it!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
This tour in Georgia with Hercules as the guide is truly a must-do experience. Hercules' deep knowledge, dedication to ensuring everyone has a wonderful time, and excellent photography skills make him an exceptional guide. The seamless, safe transportation through the winding mountain roads is another key highlight. Even after the tour, Hercules goes above and beyond to assist guests, showcasing the renowned Georgian hospitality. With Hercules leading the way, you're guaranteed a fun, memorable, and enriching journey through Georgia's stunning landscapes and cultural sites. I highly recommend booking this tour - it's an absolute gem that exceeds expectations.
A wonderful experience!
Sarah_D, Apr 2024
Our day trip to the beautiful and majestic Kazbegi was an experience we will always remember. Our guide Kristina from Budget friendly tours was a great companion through the day, always ready to share information with a smile on her face about the places we visited and also readily sharing more when asked questions. I liked that they kept the group to about 10-12 people. It was an enjoyable time and we were also part of a friendly group of people from all over the world, making it a very nice day overall.
Response from Host, Apr 2024

The tour itself is amazing, it is worth every penny we paid. Smooth ride with the driver being so careful and professional. And of course, our lovely tour guide, Chinka. She's well-knowledgeable of the whole tour, history, culture and a very respectful young lady. She helps and accommodate each and every concern of the members and not leaving anyone behind. We are introvert-conservative type of joiners and we highly recommend this tour/company. We totally enjoyed the whole day and bonus points to the new things we learned about Georgia and their culture. Keep it up guys ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Can we rewind?
Sunayna_I, Apr 2024
A day well spent with loads of fun, music and dance. The best part was the impeccable time management. They managed to squeeze in as many activities and attractions as possible without making us feel overwhelmed. Personally, I enjoyed the monastery more than the ski resort. The tour guide, Lasha is one of the best we have come across. Within minutes of starting the journey, he put us all at ease with each other.....we continued the journey as one huge family. His energy and enthusiasm is unmatched and there was not a dull moment!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
It sounds like you had an incredible day filled with unforgettable experiences! The way you described the seamless time management and enjoyable activities clearly shows the dedication of the organizers. It's wonderful to hear that the tour guide, Lasha, played such a pivotal role in making the day so special. Having someone like him who can bring people together and create a sense of unity truly enhances the overall experience. Cherish these memories of fun, music, dance, and camaraderie - they are truly priceless!
