Having just returned from a tour of the Mt. Kazbegi area as well as tracing ancient Christianity in the Caucasus, I highly recommend this trip. Not only churches and monasteries but also perspectives of the highly complex political history of this part of the world are provided by John Graham.
In addition winery visits, museums and of course, chanting as conducted throughout the visit make this an unforgetable experience. For me as an art historian this area offers so much that deserves more attention in college courses and media coverage.
John Graham Tours are the BEST! I just returned from "Ancient Christianity in the Caucasus" and really enjoyed it. About 20 people visited significant ancient churches in eastern Georgia and Armenia. Our experience was heightened by local singers who accompanied us and put the accoustics of the old churches to inspiring use. John has a thorough knowledge of the Caucasus region. He chooses interesting sites, comfortable hotels, and great restaurants. His commentaries on history, culture, politics, and music are fascinating. Though it was a large group, John paid personal attention to all and went the extra mile attending to individual requests. He fostered a real spirit of commaraderie among his "guests," as he called us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I just returned from a two-week tour of Georgia and Armenia that was fabulous. Led by an American with a PhD from Princeton, it is a wonderful introduction to a beautiful region filled with incredible beauty and determibed people who value family and faith. If you want an amazing experience that will inspire your mind and heart check out John Graham Tours. You will not be disappointed!
