5.00Nick was a great guide. We went on a Sunday, so unfortunately we were not able to enter the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, which was disappointing. The honey seemed good quality (we were scammed on another tour) so if you want to buy honey then this would be a good place. Head scarves weren’t provided at Jvari Monastery, so recommend you take your own. Also note the itinerary stated, at the time of booking, that the meeting time was 08:45am but on the reminder we received, we were asked to meet at 08:30am for a 09:00am start. We arrived at 08:45am and were one of the first people to arrive.
Nice tour, wonderful landscapes and sites!
