The trip was more interesting than I expected. I highly recommend visiting this beautiful Caucasian region..

This was an amazing, wonderful experience. I believe that our tour leader, Anton, did an exceptional job making this such a terrific experience for us. Nothing was too difficult for him and even though some of the people on the trip were a little obnoxious at times he did a superb job.
