Tato was our driver and guide for our day trip We were so lucky with the weather, a blue sky day after recent snow so Javari Pass was spectacular. Tato guided us around the old houses of Mutso and then Shatili. He
Is full of interesting knowledge and answered all our questions. Although the dirt roads are very rough, Tato is an excellent driver and his Lexus SUV is super comfortable. Tato was happy to stop for my photos. We had late lunch at a riverside restaurant before returning to Tbilisi. A good end to a wonderful day.

Irakli was a wonderful, kind and knowledgeable guide. We were incredibly lucky to have met him. The drive to Khevsureti is absolutely beautiful, with unique, rugged landscapes. We had good fun meeting donkeys, Georgian mountain dogs, cows and cats. We even learned how to make Khinkalis. Shatili and Mutso are remote, defensive villages that are absolutely unique. The hike up to Mutso gives unrivaled views of the environment.
The experience felt authentic and we learned a lot. It is perfect for those interested in history and/or nature. This trip is a hidden gem which more people should experience.

We had a Two day trip with Irakli to Armenia and it was amazing. We stopped by some beautiful sights (Lake Sevan, monasteries, mountain views and a temple) and Irakli was very informative about the history that has transformed Armenia through the years. Two very lovely days!

We highly recommend! Irakli was such a good tour guide, one of the best! We went to Shatili and also included the walk to the Blue Lake. So Stunning!! It is so unique and away from all the many tourists and trucks that we saw on other tours. Irakli was great at explains the history and hit some great pictures. The scenery is the best I’ve seen in Georgia. His driving was also excellent, and not too scary, we did mostly off road and he was very careful. While it was a very long day, Irakli didn’t complain once and the tour was well worth the money :-)

it was the most fantastic tour with the most passionate, engaging and friendly guide. Irakli is always there to give you the little extra that makes a tour unique and unforgettable. Shatili and the Khevsureti region are pristine areas, a little off the beaten path, and offer rich history, incredible views and fabulous walks. While the road is not the greatest, it is not as bad as anticipated. Enjoy the best Kinkhalis (the speciality of the region) and many wonderful little surprises all day long. A unique tour that goes way beyond the regular tours!

My friends and I recently went on a day trip to Shatili in Khevsureti, and it was an absolute adventure! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the region, and we learned so much during our journey.

The drive to Shatili was an experience in itself, as we wound our way up steep mountain roads and through narrow gorges, passing by remote villages and scenic vistas along the way. Once we arrived in Shatili, we were blown away by the beauty and ruggedness of the place. The medieval towers and stone houses perched on the mountainside are truly a sight to behold.

We had plenty of time to explore the village and learn about its history from our guide. We also took a short hike to a nearby waterfall, which was absolutely stunning. The highlight of the trip, however, was the delicious lunch we had at a local family's home. The food was all homemade and incredibly delicious, and we felt so welcomed and taken care of by our hosts.

Overall, this day trip to Shatili was an incredible experience that we will never forget. The beauty and history of the region, combined with the hospitality of the locals and our knowledgeable guide, made for a truly unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Georgia!

Stand on a high pass and feel the wind on your face.
If you love the great outdoors, then this is the tour for you. Irakli, my guide and companion for this expedition, shared his knowledge and love of this spectacular part of Georgia.
What can you expect from this trip? Not just the stunning vistas, and there are so many of these, but also you will begin to feel and recognise the harsh reality for those who choose to live in this remote but beautiful land. This tour left me with a myriad of wonderful memories too numerous to list here. Needless to say, expect the unexpected, for there will be unique experiences to be found on this tour that make it really something special.
Thankyou Irakli, one hundred thousand thankyous.

We had a fantastic day trip from Tbilisi to Armenia. Our tour guide, David, and driver, Liwo were just fabulous!! The sights were really interesting and the food was delicious - even catered fabulously for vegetarians.
The small bus was very comfortable and we were really taken care of.

This is a fantastic experience. The guide is highly knowledgable but above all else a really nice guy. He transports you to three interesting monasteries in Armenia and also stops for a really great lunch along the way. Super fresh, authentic food in a beautiful setting. The experience was one of the best on my travels. Such beautiful scenery. Well done!!!
