The trip to Georgia was truly memorable! The panoramic views were simply breathtaking. Although, there was a brief issue with our dinner reservation at a local restaurant, which caused some initial confusion. However, the seamless transition ensured that we still enjoyed a delicious meal and continued our exploration without interruption. We were actually impressed by our agent Florena’s quick response and her commitment to making our experience memorable.
Thoroughly recommended!
I traveled to Georgia with my friend Fred. Exploring Tbilisi’s historic landmarks was a highlight. We really enjoyed Georgian cuisine.
A visit to Lake Paravani (hope I write the name of the lake correctly) made the trip even more enjoyable. The lake’s tranquil beauty and the picturesque surrounding landscapes offered a peaceful retreat from the bustling city life.
Overall, we loved everything!
