Mestia Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Everything was great, no delays. A couple of stops along the way for the restroom and a snack. Thanks to the driver Valer.

The driver was present on time and on time upon arrival Starting point and arrival point are clearly stated. Transport concerns a van for about 8 people. Fine van!

I,m mountain guide and Giorgi was the man who did our ski trip perfect. Excellent person, absolutely kind and the service with the transport genial!. I recomend his service at all the people who need one local guide and transfers in the area. He will surprise you with old histories and awesome lunchs and dinners. I got great souvenirs at his side.

We did a tour with Levan, it was perfect even though the snow was everywhere he managed to drive us at some amazing spots and he even suggested places that we didn’t ask, he made us discover amazing views !

Extremely enjoyable trip with Giorgi! He is a knowledgeable guide, very familiar with the region, and we went to many scenic locations around the region. Also appreciated Giorgi’s explanation of the history and culture of the region, and introduction to the delicious Svan cuisine!

Our driver Leo was pleasant and professional. Would recommend to anyone wishing to go up to Ushguli and not wanting to drive themselves

Beautiful tour in one of the most beautiful places in Georgia, spectacular views, the guide was great, highly recommended!

Great transport option, they brought me directly in to the hotel. Mestia - Kutaisi airport took us 5,5 hours, crazy, fast driver but we did it. Definetely recommend.

Perfect and smooth transfer. Fun driver and guide, the ride was comfortable and the views amazing. Would definitely recommend!

Giogi, The guide and operator is so professional that explain all the history of event including legends about most Svanetis. Along with this tour program you can experience all those by tracking. Mid of seventies, me and my wife enjoy full of Svaneti including Glacier, Waterfall and lake. Giogi take care for us safe and feeling comfortable. It was excellent.

Goga (Giorgi) is a true Svanetian guide. Both in character and in his knowledge of the Svaneti region, he shows the true spirit of this land to the visitors. He took me around for 4 days in June for a video production and was very patient in handling all my necessities and requests during the trip. He speaks good English and was able to explain a lot of different tales and events from the area he both knew and lived during his lifetime. He is originally from Svaneti, born and raised, so he knows all the hidden corners of the region and will be able to guide you in every situation without any problem. He also listens to great music.We're still in touch, this showing how Goga truly cares about his customers even beyond their stay in Georgia and makes whatever he can to make true Svaneti be experienced by his customers.

We would like to express our deep gratitude to Tripify. Not only was the scenery breathtaking, but the whole experience was made even better by the exceptional service we received. Tripify is the perfect choice to explore this area.Our guide Levan was a very nice and knowledgeable person. His intimate knowledge of the area and culture was incredible. He explained everything in detail, bringing to life the traditions and way of life of the mountaineers.we recommend!!!

I used Budget Georgia for transfer from Kutaisi to Mestia and Mestia - Kutaisi. The service was flawless, instructions were clear and we arrived safely. I can only recommend using Budget Georgia! Thank you so much!

Giorgi Ioselani was our tour guide for a week-long tour of Svaneti. Unlike most visitors, we did not go for the hiking or skiing; we went for the culture. As a native Svan, Giorgi was the perfect guide. Besides exploring the fantastic natural history and architecture (without too much walking), we had wonderful experiences meeting local people, enjoying traditional music, wood carving, and even cooking lessons. We knew that Georgian cuisine in general was wonderful; regional Svan foods are delicious too. Giorgi is a great guide to a great region.
