We went to Georgia for 9 days and we went through a few tours with Georgian Vacations and Nick. This was a great experience. A lot of History, and a lot of annecdotes while going through the different sites. I also attached pictures we took in the different tours. I can recommend Nick and Georgian Vacation with no hesitation.
