3. Bodbe Monastery of St. Nino
Bodbe Monastery dedicated to Saint Nino is located at Bodbe, 2 km from the town of Sighnaghi, Kakheti. St. Nino is very important saint for Georgians, since she was the one who spread Christianity in our country in the 5th century. Last years of her life, she spent in Bodbe, that’s why Georgians buried St. Nino in this monastic complex.Nowadays, a lot of people come to see her tomb, as this place is very miraculous. You will see many people coming out from there with tears and hear many stories explaining how their wishes came true. This place keeps many secrets and stories. You will feel it already when you enter the beautiful garden which overlooks to Alazani Valley. Nuns, who live there, are taking care of it and they try to keep it as beautiful and green as it was during the life of St. Nino.
4. Signagi City Walls
Sighnaghi is a small town in the east of Georgia situated on the mountainside in the historical region of Kakheti. It was founded in the 17th century during the reign of King Erekle II of Georgia, and as locals say, it is the only city in Georgia that has fully preserved with fortification wall which is one of the biggest wall in the world. The great wall is crowned with 27 watchtowers and 6 gates where travelers can climb to get the magnificent view of the Alazani valley. New life of Sighnaghi started in 2007 when it changed into a European town. Its architecture with narrow cobbled streets and beautiful balconies will not leave you indifferent. The town has two central squares with wedding house where couple can marry anytime of the day. Thus, Sighnaghi is called the city of love. You will find many cosy places, hotels and hostels to your taste, street cafes and restaurants, where you can try the home-made Kakhetian wines: Saperavi, Kindzmarauli, Rkaciteli, Mtsvane… There goes a long list.

Pick up by Luka was on time and well organized. It was nice to be flexible with our stops and move the wine tasting to the end it was less crowded and we felt like we could talk to the tour guide more than if we were mixed with a huge group. We loved seeing the farm for the bread and cheese tasting, the view points were great and Luka made sure to find a certain preserve I was looking for while we were on our tour and I’m so happy to have it. The convent was beautiful and so was Sighnaghi. It made me want to come back to Georgia and explore more small towns and see the countryside. The nature is so beautiful. I highly recommend this tour!

What a great two day trip! From the monastery, to the tours of wineries, to the cooking class, to the amazing scenery of Kakheti, Luka and his team figured out a way for me to see a maximum slice of Georgia in a minimal amount of time. Mancho, my driver, was much more than just a driver — played great music as we drove, engaged in great conversation, and was there every step of the way to help out with finding lodgings and communicating with others. Thank you Mancho! And thank you Luka for planning such a wonderful tour. Highly recommended!

My friend and I did the private wine experience together. We had a wonderful time. We tried wine at so many places. Luca had a lot of knowledge about wine and he gave us a very authentic wine experience. I will always recommend everyone to book tour thru this agency.

An amazing experience. Didn't feel like we traveled with a guide, but rather an old friend who knew everything about everything around us and was a great story teller. A+

I booked Lela’s tour 2 weeks before my arrival in Georgia and it was such a wonderful experience!
She responded promptly and professionally!
My guide that day, Mirian, was very kind, speaks very well english and very accommodating!
Because it is a private tour, you can take your time and visit the touristic point at your own pace!
Mirian was very knowledgeable and guided me when buying wine, cheese, local sweets etc!
I really enjoyed the tour, well organized and professional!
One thing that I am grateful for to Lela is that in Gudauri, she helped me find a great local Tour guide to take me to Kazbegi! I appreciated very much her willingness to help and kindness!
I definitely recommend this tour! You will not regret it!
Thank you, Lela and your team!

Amazing experience with our wonderful tour guide and driver, Lela and George. The places we visited were amazing & breath taking. As well as the food we tried along the way like the -puri (Georgian bread) and local cheese. Also the wine tasting at KTB winery and St. NINO CHRUCH. Definitely worth recommending our tour guides and places to visit.
