“Perfect mix of history and culture ”
Nini took me and my three teenagers for an entertaining walk through Tbilisi. It was a nice mix of history and culture, and Nini brings good energy. She's enthusiastic, charming and witty. And she knows where to find good food and wine. Would recommend her anyone.

“Our second tour with Nini, this time to Mtskheta by van, was just as fantastic ”
Our second tour with Nini, this time to Mtskheta by van, was just as fantastic as the first one. Nini was extremely attentive throughout the entire tour, and the driver was excellent — very professional, careful, and friendly. Everything was perfectly organized and stress-free. She took us to stunning historical sites such as Jvari Monastery and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, explaining their importance in a clear and passionate way. Nini also showed us lovely local spots, helped us discover Georgian gastronomy, and guided us to great places to buy souvenirs at very good prices. Both Nini and the driver made us feel very well taken care of the whole time. It was an unforgettable experience and a perfect way to explore the cultural and historical heart of Georgia. We highly recommend this tour and Nini as a guide.
