I have dreamt of visiting Georgia for almost a decade, and this trip surpassed every expectation I had. The itinerary gave us a great overview of beautiful Georgia. There was a good combination of sightseeing and hiking. Our guide, Ani, was very knowledgeable, passionate and friendly. Of course, the food was also fabulous - especially in Svaneti. We also had enough time to explore places by ourselves. I cannot wait to come back to Georgia.

The trip to Georgia was excellent, well balanced and informative. Ani, our group leader took the stress out of everything and was extremely knowledgeable. Plenty of organised adventures as well as free time.

An enjoyable trip that I would recommend to anyone who likes hiking, history, nice scenery and good wine. Our tour leader Ani and the guides were very good at their jobs and made it a great trip, and I also met some lovely fellow travellers.

Discovering beautiful Georgia with Intrepid was amazing. The beautiful flower covered mountains, a climb up to the rugged glacier, the history and culture especially our visits to the villages with the tower houses. I knew we were in good, caring hands with our very proud Georgian guide. What a fabulous experience.

It was great getting to explore some of Georgia's cities and countryside with our group and our guide Anton. It is a beautiful country with much to offer in the way of hiking and I hope to come back to do more in future. Be prepared to eat lots of delicious food too!
