4.00The time management is good. Enough time to self-explore. A bit rush in Stalin museum, but it is still fine.
So-so tour and not so...

3.00So-so tour and not so good guide. A few problems: 1) no notification/welcome message the day before departure; 2) a big mess at the departing site with many vans; 3) Guide made unnecessary bad jokes, did not take care of everyone patiently, used rude language, certain bias/favor with tourists of certain countries, not good English, not much talking during driving, no warning before arrival and just “let’s go” while every was still asleep; 4) lunch spot was not good (Google review only 3 stars)- food was small portion and charged mandatory service fees; 5) bus does not have AC and strict about certain rules like no water bottle in the back pocket because that can damage the car (seriously?!); 6) Stalin museum guide was bad- unclear English and low voice and impatient. Overall not as good as my other tours in Georgia.
A great tour

5.00Beautiful tour, well organized. Exceptional guide; this is the first tour where I did not experience motion sickness! Guide Gary was very knowledgeable, communicated very well, created a great travel atmosphere despite the diverse backgrounds of the participants, and managed to engage us despite the language difficulties of my husband and me! Truly a must-try!!!
Great tour!
