Dear travelers, Welcome to my profile. I'll try not to be so boring and introduce myself to you in a brief and understandable manner. I am a private guide/driver and I've been doing this since 2010. My guiding skills were sharpened throughout my past life. I was raised by those people who always enjoyed discussions about the history of Georgia and local traditions. This was a good push for me to entirely dive in this subject matter and gain much more knowledge about history of Georgia. Besides, I loved hiking in the mountains, especially during the long term visit to my grandparents' places, which lived in different highland regions of Georgia. As a teenager I joined traditional Folk dancing (became a first class national dancer) company and I was given a chance to interact with multiple national representatives during our performances abroad. In the 2005 I officially became a Military interpreter (After security clearance interview) for the peace keeping operation programs (NATO) and gained some land navigation and first aid skills. Even nowadays, I take a part in a short term training programs, which serves for me as reiteration of my past knowledge. Since 2010 I began the leading business which became my main work now. This work gives me the chance to use mine, already well aggravated skills in benefit of travelers in my country. Dear travelers, I would never address to you as clients, you'll be my guests and I promise that - In my tours you'll get more pleasure and satisfaction, than you expected! If the purpose of your visit to Georgia is - acquaintance with the History and traditions, and also day time hiking in the Caucasus, then you really need my assistance…  Principles of Service: - "Safety and security above all!" - "Proper use of traveling time" - "Always have a back up plan" - "Travelers stays flexible during their trips and can reasonably change an itinerary at any time" 1. I also, work as a military interpreter for NATO forces. 2. I am member of the local guides union. 2. I was filmed in a documentary movie. 3. I as hired as a mountain filming adviser (for a TV project) for one the leading TV company in Georgia. There is Dress code in Georgian Orthodox churches and Monasteries. ladies need dress and scarfs to cover the body, and men should wear long trousers you should not enter there during the pray or service. I can provide dress and scarfs for the ladies...

Overview of your Tbilisi tour

Varzia presents Twelfth-century cave dwellings in the valley of the Mtkvari River. This is an outstanding monument of the Georgian plastic arts of the Middle Ages. It was built for the most part between 1156 and 1205 (during the reigns of Georg III and his daughter Thamar) as a fortress and monastery for Georgia's southwestern frontier. It consists of several dozen homes, religious buildings, and businesses that have been carved into a sheer cliff of tufa to form tiers of dwellings with interconnecting passageways. There are preserved more than 240 cave rooms out of approximately 400. On the way to varzia you'll get a chance to visit Joseph Stalin's home-town Gori, early medieval centuries fortress of Kutaisi city, caves of Vani and well preserved fortress of Khertvisi (IVth century B. C). Actually Varzia is one of the most popular places of interest of Georgia and have thousands of visitors every day. During the tour we, also, visit some attractions around Kutaisi city.

Koba thanks for a wonderful experience. It is rare to find a guide that is more concern with business than money and takes the time to truly show the beauty of any land. Great memories and cheers. P.S. stay out of holes that you may not be able to get down from and thanks for the blizzard.

This was an awesome tour customized for me by Jacob (Koba). It was exhilarating and completely made my weekend. Jacob is very friendly, knows his country, and speaks English very well. Not once on this tour did I feel uncomfortable or feel as if I didn't understand what we were talking about. I would recommend everyone taking these tours, whether it be for a day like I did or in two days to have more time. Thank you Jacob, it was a grand experience!

Koba was an informative and amusing guide. We are returning to Georgia next year and will hopefully be able to use him as a guide again.
