Our Leader I will not be personally leading this trip, and there are few people I would trust to take my place. I've met many tour guides in my decades of leading international trips, and none has impressed me more than Sali from Tbilisi, Georgia. She has become a friend over the years and I know you will be well taken care of. Meet Sali Less is More
I've always said less is more. I like to spend more time in less places to really get to experience a place. There are whirlwind tours available that go to 3 or 4 cities in 7 days and at the end of the trip you wonder what you even saw and need a vacation from your vacation. This is not one of those tours. We do all the heavy lifting and logistics so you have plenty of time to enjoy and explore on your own. Trust me, it's a better way to travel. |
