Firman pomo Irakli vei minua, vaimoa ja kahta japanilaista turistia kohtia Armenian puolella olevia Unesco-nähtävyyksiä. Matka kuitenkin pysähtyi Armenian puolella mielenosoittajien pystyttämiin mielenosoituksiin. Maassa oli poliittinen härdeli menossa. Jouduimme palaamaan Tbilisiin. Matkalle Irakli kuitenkin kertoi paljon kiinnostavia ja hauskoja asioita Georgiasta ja Armeniasta. Hän puhui erinomaista englantia. Miellyttävä kaveri kaiken kaikkiaan. Ensi reissulla uusi yritys Kartveli Toursin kyydissä. Antoi vakuuttavan ja vastuullisen kuvan toiminnastaan.

We did two day tours with them- the wine tour and Armenia tour. They were both great but we preferred the Armenia tour. Both guides were friendly and helpful but not overbearing. What we appreciated most was the authenticity of it – we didn’t get hassled to go to tourist traps, and loved the lunches in both a local’s house as well as a great restaurant. I wish all tour companies ran like this!

A friend and I traveled for our spring break. We signed up for one tour and ended up having such an amazing time on our day trip to Armenia that we decided to sign up for the Kazbegi tour as well two days later. Kartveli tours is super accommodating! We were a few minutes late with an extra person and they fluctuated the group into a bigger van only losing 10 minutes from the planned exit time. They plan the activities perfectly (i.e. not too long in the car, amazing local cuisine, beautiful scenery, knowledgable guides, etc.). I highly recommend Kartveli Tours!!!

Booked a day tour to Armenia and had a blast! Our guide, Irakli, was simply amazing. He knows a lot, has a great sense of humor and he clearly loves his job. That’s why we decided to book two more tours with Karveli, both equally awesome! Felt very safe in the car, even in the crazy Georgian traffic. The driver was just the friendliest guy ever and by far the best chauffeur we’ve had. Enough time for photo stops and even a detour! Can’t recommend this company enough!
