  • Gorelovka, Georgia
    You will visit village Gorelovka to visit Ethnographic Museum. The village was founded by Dukhabors, Christian spiritual religious group of Russian origin. They rejected the secular government, priesthood, the use of icons, and all church rituals. They do not follow any customs other than marriage. Women are equal to men in the family. They were relocated from Russia during the reign of Emperor Nicholas I and 5,000 Doukhobors were resettled to Georgia between 1841 and 1845.

Giorgi was a great guide and host, spending the whole day driving us to to each part of the tour. It was great to see the less touristy areas of Georgia and learn more about Georgia's history Would highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to escape the tourist crowds! We accidently left one of our pieces of luggage in his car after the tour ended and he kindly drove all the way back to our hotel accomodation the next day to return it to us in his free time. A very caring guide

We heard about the new diamond-shaped glass viewing platform across Tsalka canyon as we were planning our trip to Georgia - [it was opened just in June 2022], and we knew we had to go there! Tsalka canyon by itself is gorgeous, but the new viewing platform makes it a unique and almost magical experience. You can walk across the bridge [partially made of glass], to the diamond-shaped platform in the middle which is entirely made of glass and affords amazing views of the canyon below. Once you've taken all of the instagramable pics from the viewing platform, the walk down into the canyon and back is equally gorgeous. At the bottom there is a series of waterfalls which are peaceful, and you can see the diamond platform from the bottom. Our guide from Select Georgia tours had excellent English, and was extremely patient as we kept stopping to take pictures [and rest!] on the hike down and back from the canyon. I highly recommend Tsalka canyon and Select Georgia tours is the best!

What a terrific tour! I was personally hosted by Giorgi, who was a charming and knowledgeable guide. He picked me up promptly in an impeccable tour van and we jumped right into a wonderful all-day overview of a very special part of Georgia off the main tourist paths. Giorgi always knew the best spots to get extraordinary views and photos and gave me fascinating information on the local culture, history and especially the music! He found a wonderful restaurant for lunch run by an amazing and welcoming family serving all organic and local products. The work being done at Phoka Nunnery is so impressive and the incredible range of products they produce were elegantly wrapped and delicious! I have been wanting to see Phoka since it was written up in the NYT earlier this year, and am so glad I chose to go with SelectGeorgia!
