    David was a wonderful guide to Tbilisi's history and architecture. He is a great story teller and was able to capture Georgia's rich and colorful past, its problematic relationship with its giant neighbor to the north and its amazing architectural features. He was able to help us to see his city in a wonderful new light. Highly recommended!

    As a solo traveller who loathes large format whistlestop excusions I came to Tbilisi desperate to find a guide/ small group tour that would uncover a more complicated and nuanced side of the city. As an urbanist and lover of history, I was looking to learn more about the imprint communism left on the built environment in Georgia and how ideology influenced and was disseminated by design. And I was hoping to find a way to do this without blowing my budget on a bespoke private itinerary. Enter David and Homosoviet tours who went out of his way to accommodate my travel schedule. David's passion for interrogating Soviet era design and culture is palpable and we spent 5 hours conversing about a whole myriad of subjects from the IDPs to the role of the Church in today's society all behind the backdrop of awe-inspiring architecture across Tbilisi. David is incredibly afflable and professional which is a hard balance to strike and is generous enough to share family history and his own political observations with inquiring guests. I came out of the tour having learned so much and having even more questions about this fascinating country and the region at large. I highly recommend for those interested in architecture, urban planning, design and just social history writ large from a studied local perspective. Thank you, David!

    I am so grateful to David for his historical knowledge, enthousiam, energy and generosity! We first spent a day with him around Tbilisi, were so impressed that we booked a second day to Chiatura. This was again amazing. All these places that we would never have discovered by ourselves. A visit with David will make you see Georgia with different eyes!

    We can only confirm what others have said before, David is an amazing person and guide. He knows so much about the Georgian history, also linked to his own family. He has a great sense of humor and is extremely generous. He showed us places we would never have discovered by ourselves like insides of old Soviet buildings. We will definitely book another tour with him !!!
