This was a superb tour. We experienced so many aspects of this fascinating region of Georgia. The trip was varied, well-paced and brilliantly organized. This was our second experience with Stephan (Tour guide) and Roy (Driver) The guides both went to great lengths to provide us with experiences much beyond expectations and I cannot thank them enough. The itinerary was very well thought out. This was the best vacation of my life (and I haven't been the least bit deprived!) What a wonderful experience that I was able make new friends (Ibrahim, Nina, Kira, and Stephan). There was free time on each place we visited, and we enjoy every bit of it.
Once again, Thank you. WST you have a brilliant team such as Stephan and Roy. Until I see you again.
