“A Wonderful Introduction to Georgia with Nini”
Nini was incredibly warm, kind, patient, and knowledgeable about Georgian history and culture. I was traveling with my parents, who do not speak English, so we booked a private tour. Nini explained everything thoughtfully and always left enough time for me to translate for them. The walking route was very well planned and comfortable for my parents. More importantly, the tour was the perfect beginning to our journey through Georgia. It gave us valuable historical and cultural context, as well as useful references for the places we visited afterward. Even later in Telavi and Kazbegi, my parents continued to mention the local stories and details that Nini had shared with us. Nini also recommended several Georgian restaurants for the rest of our trip. We followed many of her suggestions, and my parents enjoyed every meal. We wholeheartedly recommend Nini. She is a lovely and enthusiastic guide whose warm smile made us feel welcome from the very beginning. Thank you, Nini, for giving our family such a memorable introduction to Georgia!
