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

This Region is a historic region in the northeast of Georgia, Located on the northern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. Tusheti is bordered by the Russian federation. The area is thought to have long been inhabited by the Tushin population, the subgroup of Georgians. Tusheti area is the most remote among Georgian highland regions and it's a good place for hiking and visiting the ghost tower villages. In the BBC documentary serial - 10 the most dangerous roads (which is good now) of the world" Tusheti region falls imder number 5. . . I have toured in tusheti for about 40 times before and always with pleasure! There, you can have a chance to observe wild goats on the cliffs of Tusheti. There are no power lines, but the locals have solar panels and boilers for shower. Mountains of Tuhseti are around 3200-4400m (ASL) tall and Abano pass is around 3000m (ASL). . . Finally, I'm ready to listen your new, reasonable desires, missed in the itinerary and satisfy your mood by adding new locations to our rout.

We started as Guide and customer, and ended the trip as good friends. This is due to his great sense of humor which is delivered in so many accents than in all probability, Koba has surely got Scottish, French and Thai blood among others, running in his veins! :p Professionally, Koba is always willing to help with an indefatigable energy level, a storehouse of knowledge of Georgian culture, history and also nuances. I would certainly not hesitate to engage Koba's services for my return trip to Georgia.

We still talk about our trip. We enjoyed our safe 4x4 drive to Omalo, see all other dangerous adventures on You Tube. Kobe is an excellent guide, it is barely possible to find a better one in Georgia. He knows very much, is energetic and unstoppable. Speaks good English. We loved Georgia so much, that we want to come back in the near future. He found for us around Omalo the bezoar goats and arranged a wonderful one-day horse trip. He bought for us cha cha in Telavi.

Koba M was reliable, honest, punctual and knowledgeable. His English is excellent and he proved himself helpful and flexible in making our plans including suggestions about where to travel. He is sociable and happy to explore issues of Georgian culture with the tourist.

Not only was our experience touring with Koba perfect, but we have also earned a true friend. Koba is an excellent guide and driver, he knows everything and everywhere in Georgia. He is also very fun to be with and very helpful: everything you can wish for while travelling - he will make it happen. I am a photographer and Koba went out of his way to help me get the best photos (with locations, with replacing broken equipment, with asking people permission to photograph them). We had a wonderful trip!

My experience touring Tusheti with Koba was one of the most memorable ever! Tusheti was incredibly beautiful and surreal. At times the adventure was a dream and others not exactly for the faint-hearted, but all the while Koba made me comfortable and entertained. The experience was absolutely priceless, and I would highly recommend Koba for your guide in Tusheti.

We booked the 5-Day Tusheti Tour with Koba and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Georgia. Koba has extensive knowledge about Georgia's history, culture & people -especially in the mountains. He's well connected with locals which resulted in excellent accommodations and some amazing cultural experiences. Koba's sense of humor & his enthusiasm made traveling with him a delight. Koba is also an awesome driver-very important in Tusheti! We hope to travel with him again sometime soon!
