Definitely a very worthy investment. I was very happy to have been advised by Zurab (the guide) to wake up early for the sunrise. Im not an early riser in general so it was not easy but it was totally worth it. The drive is friendly and you will reach in maximum 2 hours to the location. Everything was a surprise for me, I think I should have asked Zurab more questions before because the trip requires a lot of hiking uphill and walking and I wasn't prepared for it. I advise you to wear very comfortable shoes and clothes. Regardless of the fact that I was not in a good shape at all, and it was very difficult for me to hike, especially the first 20 minutes... I can say I was super happy i did it. The views from the top cant be compared with anything. Totally beautiful, peaceful. The idea of going early for the sunrise view was great, but also because we were literally the only 3 people in the entire mountain. It was amazing. One of the best experiences ever. On another note, Zurab is fantastic. Very knowledgeable, passionate about history and his country and also very caring and attentive. The hike had parts that could be considered a little dangerous and he made me feel very safe and looked after. I found that SUPER! Zurab came with Jaba who was driving us. And he was no short of amazing either, he was very caring and helpful especially on the difficult parts of the hike. Once you reach the top the hike becomes very friendly and Zurab will take you to see the caves and paintings which is really something espectacular, especially because the stories he will share about them are very interesting. The views over Azerbajan are incredible too... This trip is a must, and going with Zurab is a must too... im sure he is not like any other guide... he will make sure to make you feel like a VIP and he will prepare everyting especially for you... he is a great photographer too so you will come back with unique pictures!! Dont let the hike scare you.... its worth it!

Несколько дней собирались, чтобы написать отзыв, так как не могли подобрать слов, чтобы описать свои эмоции. Теперь, возрастясь домой, можем сказать однозначно- это самые незабываемые впечатления от путешествия! Это невероятная поездка для тех, кто хочет увидить нетривиальную и неизведанную Грузию. Огромнейшее спасибо Зурабу и Гоге за их эрудицию, любовь к Грузии и выбранной профессии. Обязательно приедем еще и теперь узнавать Грузию только с ними!!! Дмитрий и Ольга, Новосибирск
