Anna and Davit were excellent tandem. Highly recommended. Double thumbs up.
Davit is an epitome of a gentleman: patient, considerate, understanding, always on time and provided assistance whenever needed without being asked.
Anna is smart, efficient, has initiative and knowledgable. No unanswered questions. Amazing to hear her tell us the stories with its dates and the people involved. She provided information beyond google and there is a recall in how she delivers what you need to know and why is it important.
When I go back with my sons, I will definitely seek both of them to be our guide and car service.
Thank you so much for the wonderful 4 days and 3 nights stay in Georgia.
