Prior to our trip to Georgia, Goga was very communicative and helpful as we planned our itineraries. He remained in touch even after our return home, to make sure we had everything we needed. On Day 1, we were driven by David to Vardzia with stops in Borjomi, the Green Monastery and Rabati Castle. David was very professional, enthusiastic and friendly and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him. On Day 2, we were driven by Goga to the Kakheti region. We saw the Bodbe Monastery and Saghnaghi, then went off the beaten path to visit a winery in Babaneuri Valley. The drive back to Tbilisi through the Gombori Pass was gorgeous and very memorable. Goga's upbeat attitude and funny jokes enhanced an already wonderful day. David and Goga seemed willing to guide us to the main sites, but also open to changing the itinerary when we wanted to do something different. Both were shining examples of the Georgian hospitality we had heard so much about, and left us with an excellent impression and desire to return. Until next time!
