    This is the second time I have booked an excursion with the Georgian Promenade and I am delighted with the high level of professionalism and responsibility of these guys. This time Valeri and his team introduced me to the Yezidis and their culture and customs. I used to think that this people lives only in the territory of modern Syria and Turkey, but it turns out that a large diaspora of Yezidis lives in Georgia, who still remember their language, traditions and culture. We also visited the Yezidi Temple "Ziarat" and talked with the mentors of this Temple and went to visit the Yezidi family, where we were treated to national sweets and sang songs in our native language. I recommend this tour if you want to learn more about the multinationality of Tbilisi.
