Dear Nune, we arrived home the day before, and the flight was nice! My husband and I are incredibly satisfied with the trip you organized for us. Spending 11 unforgettable days in Georgia was truly a dream come true. The highlights were numerous; Georgia’s local charm and stunning landscapes have captured my heart. The scenic drive to Kazbegi and the breathtaking view from Gergeti Trinity Church were unforgettable. I also loved the wine tasting in the Kakheti region—such a wonderful experience! Hotels were exceptional and we were lucky enough to have a mountain view in Rooms Hotel Kazbegi, and clear weather to enjoy the sunrize. I didn’t expect to fall in love with Tbilisi as much as I did. We are already planning our next trips in the Caucasus with Cascade! Thank you for everything!

I just wanted to take a moment to share how much my friend and I loved our recent trip to Georgia. One of the standout experiences was the cheese tasting at a local family farm; it truly felt like a genuine taste of Georgian culture! We also enjoyed wandering through Tbilisi’s charming streets, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. The day was capped off beautifully with the captivating sounds of Georgian polyphonic singing. This UNESCO-recognized concert perfectly embodies the spirit of Georgian culture—a stunning, unforgettable experience that resonated with us deeply. Salome was another highlight, she was nice and helpful, and she booked tables in a couple of restaurants in Tbilisi. What we loved so much was that the itinerary was rich but we had free time for ou explorations experience, which is very important. We’re already excited about planning our next trip, and I’m hoping it will be centered around Armenia with Cascade Travel. Thank you for making this adventure so memorable!
