Me and my girlfriend booked this trip at the beginning of June. It was a great day and i can only recommend you to try it as well.
Soso, who was our guide and who has a lot of experience in guiding tours in Georgia, was not only wonderful company, but he also spoke perfect English. He wrote us on Whatsapp prior to the tour to talk about some details. As we only had a small group (only really great people from different nations) they were able to pick us up at the restaurant where we were having lunch.
After meeting everybody we drove to the first hike, it was a beautiful hike up through a small valley to an amazing waterfall. the hike is not very long, but there is a bit of elevation. If you're not super fit, it won't be a problem as the group can take its time and go on a reasonable pace.
We did enjoy the nature and the waterfall and Soso helped us to take some great pictures :)
Next up we drove to the Juta Valley Village. Unfortunately it started to rain and we discussed amongst the group what to do. We decided to go up anyways, which was a great idea. we got completetly wet but at the top of the hill there was the fifth season hostel/restaurant which is an absolutely amazing place. It reminded me of a Alps style mountain hut but with a modern twist and huge windows to enjoy the nature. they had ovens to heat us and to have us dry our clothes and they served amazing food (Soso recommended the potatoe-mash & cheese khachapuri which was very delicious), wine and tea (understandably, it's a little bit more expensive than down hill, so bring a bit of cash!).
Afterwards, we hiked back down (it was pretty slippery after the rain, i definetly advise to bring good shoes just in case the weather gets bad) and drove back to Kazbegi where we started the tour. They offer to bring you back to Tbilisi, but we wanted to stay one more night in the mountains. Talk to your Guide, maybe they can transfer you to Tbilisi on the next day if you want to stay (that's what we did).
Thanks for the great day and we'll be back :)

They cancelled me a day after i arrived to kazbegi, because according to them i am the only customer that day and the condition of road to juta is really bad.
So all short trips plan was changed

It was my second hike after a long time, unfortunately, I didn't prepare myself physically but still, the hike was easy at Gveleti Waterfall track but my next one Juta trail wasn't easy for me as it was an uphills track I recommend people with a normal fit body to hike this trail at a separately day doesn't go for 2 types of the hike at the same day. (it was difficult for me) I was behind group 10mins but I did it anyway it was worth the effort!!! The view and restaurant's Turkish coffee were tasty and the people who were working there were so nice. Regarding my tour guide Luka was supportive of all groups even though we all had different paces some of us were very quick and fit some of us like me weren't till he was calm and dealt with the situation in a very flexible way. Thanks Luka.

Great trip out to see the area, get some exercise, and try some local food, well organized and super friendly/informative guide and expert driver. Unbelievably gorgeous scenery, opportunity to add on horseback riding. Really enjoyed the waterfall, juta, the hike, the entire experience.
