I did a day tour with Highlander Travel where we covered some notable sights in Tbilisi as well as the former capital of Georgia, Mtskheta. Rusudan from Highlander Travel made sure that I got to see all the main attractions while also giving plenty of information about the history of the places I saw and answering all my questions about the attractions which made my experience even better as my guide was well-informed about each and every place. The tour in Mtskheta was seamless and I saw the Cathedral which is one of the holiest sites in Georgia for Orthodox Christians and is also where members of the Royal family (Including the last King of Georgia) were buried. This along with the Jvari Monastery that overlooks Mtskheta from a high altitude makes it a must visit spot for the scenery, rich history and friendly locals. Highlander Travel is one of the most efficient and accommodating tour operators I’ve come across in Georgia so far and when we returned to Tbilisi for the city tour, I got to see many places which I had not heard of or researched about before traveling to Georgia which is another plus point as their tours are not the normal ones where you only see the main attractions and go but offer a more immersive and Georgian experience! Overall, I’d definitely go on more tours with them in the future when I return to Georgia with my family next time!

Thank you Rusudan for the best experience in my life! Me and my husband and daughter booked a tour to Kasbegi with overnight stay, and we LOVED every minute of it!!!
Georgian hospitality, wonderful nature, amazing views and tasty food - our trip was very well planned, informative and fun.
Also we was lucky to see Kasbegi mount in all its glory, what happends not every day.
I would never be able to do such a great trip by myself, so I absolutely will recommend Highlander Travel to all my friends.

We had booked the horse tour in advance (~3 months), reserved 5 days and 4 nights. Before the tour started twe said that prices had increased and we had to pay more for the tour. We agreed. But at the date of tour the guide said that the company had sent him not enough money for 5 days 4 nights and our tour would last only 4 days. Our calls and attempts to connect with the staff of the company was faild , Rusadan ignored her clients and did not answer anything! Such attitude is impremissible and anti-clients!

Amazing tour! The Vellino winery in particular had incredible wine and was very informative. The guide does a great job of scouting wineries and curates a unique tour. Similar to top quality tours I have experienced in other countries.

I spent a week in Georgia with my wife. It was a great trip to Georgia from 27th May to 3rd June 2022. All arranged by Highlander Travel with expert guidance from its CEO Rusudan Tsiskreli. We visited Old Tbilisi, Kakheti, Kazbegi, Kutaisi and Batumi and many more attractions on the way to these places. The best part was the exceptional knowledge of Georgian History, culture and traditions of our tour guides Rusudan and Paata. We are pure vegetarians and we faced no hassles as our guides were well aware of the places where we could get the right kind of food. It was one of our best holidays, thanks to Highlander Travel, Rusudan and Paata.

I have ordered one day wine tour in Kakheti with Highlander Travel. I was traveling with my boyfriend and his sister. Rusudan took us to outstanding wineries in Kakheti region. We would never find them by ourselves. Rusudan has great knowledge about the region and talent to find the best wine cellars to work with. We really enjoyed tour very much!

We had a wonderful trip with Rusudan a week ago from Tbilisi-Borjomi-Vardiza. (10/8/2022)
She is nice person and as a guide she is excellent. She drives very carefully and very well. She knows everything what one needs to know, and she answers the tourist questions.
We slept in Vardzia in a little hotel where the accommodation, the meals and the view were all excellent. She arranged that.
She was very helpful because I left my phone in her car. And we arranged a meeting next day and she gave back the phone.
She also helped us when my wife wanted to make an extra trip outside Tbilisi. It means that she helps tourist in general.
She is a marvel!
My highest recommendation for her and the Highlander Travel.

My friend & I booked a 9 day trekking tour through Rusudan in Svaneti. As we were both travelling from afar (Australia & Canada) we did have many questions to decide if the trek was suitable for us. With immense patience each time our questions were barely answered. We had serious doubts, asked if we could send money as confirmation (a deposit at least) & some specific requests. We were told not to worry about anything, it would be fine. As neither of us had any knowledge of the region we gave her the benefit of the doubt. Huge mistake.
The guide we were given had been given one days notice. The consequences were that we therefore had no horse to carry our luggage (I had a small injury so needed to carry minimum weight) as it wasn't enough time to find one. Fortunately the guide offered me assistance & we found vehicular assistance for luggage transfer but it wasn't the point.
The better accommodation options were booked out as it was peak trekking season. This meant additional hiking on the first day (also a day my injury flared) as the closer village was full. Nothing central available in Mestia (we ended up fairly close upstairs from a tavern which was unsuitable for hikers).
On top of this the guide had not received the funds from Rusudan so although we had already paid for the entire trip we then had to pay again for the first 3 nights until we reached Mestia & he was able to access the transferred funds.
Further to this the trip included a transfer vehicle on the last day which we had to insist to the guide was included & we were not paying extra for. He was put in a really difficult position by Highlander Travel as we had paid really good money for a trip that we had to negotiate along the way.
We had booked this trip 3 months beforehand and NOTHING had been booked. If you want to do a trek in Svaneti just organise it yourself. When alarm bells rang I made one quick email to a guesthouse one night & by the time I woke in the morning I had an English speaking guide with a horse for luggage transfer at a much more competitive price. Still furious at myself I didn't book it & gave Highlander Travel another chance. Ruined my holiday. The only positive is they did book our overnight train tickets to Zugdidi.
Honestly, don't waste your money.
