Summary: George was brilliant. Great communication, speaks fluent English, unlike other trips I had. Arrived at the hotel on time, with a nice clean, comfortable car. Uplistsikhe was the main thing I wanted to see in Georgia and I was not disappointed. Also did some wine tasting here. We also did Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Mtskheta and Jvari Monastery. Fantastic trip, really enjoyed it.
