Excellent adventure and guides
I was amazed by how much history and beauty these two countries have to offer. From the fascinating ancient petroglyphs at Gobustan to the stunning views from Narikala Fortress, every day was packed with history and culture. The visit to Gori’s Stalin Museum was especially thought-provoking. The highlight, however, was Vardzia’s cliffside monastery – it’s simply stunning. Ali, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and kept the tour fun and engaging. His passion for the Silk Road and its history made a huge difference in how we experienced the tour.
