In planning my family trips, I delve into the planning, not just as a function of the sites but also the people. Why miss the reality on the ground of life today in our country of exploration. Maia definitely produced on making this happen on our 4-day (Tbilisi, Wine Country, and Stepantsminda) tour. As I ask for her to back off of site visits and include time with her to discuss the struggles of the people and the tensions with the neighbors both now and in the past, Maia listened and produced. Some of our best memories on this trip were the times that we broke bread together and were able to have intimate conversation of Georgia life today, and the tenacity of a people that have been pushed and pulled through the millenniums from all directions. Through the excellent historical site choices and free flow of conversation with no subject off limits, we left with a true understanding of the energy and vitality of the Georgian people today. Maia was a pleasure with the true Geogia spirit.
Dear Frank, thank you so much for such a great reference and warm words. At first, I did not think that these conversations at the table would be so important and interesting for you. I would say that it was really a cultural tour and a great pleasure to spend time with your and Mike's family. Thanks again and my best regards to everyone.
We’ve been following Teona via YouTube for anwhile and were incredibly excited to book a tour with her. She actually does multiple tours including multi-day trips around Georgia; we didn’t even know about her other trips. Anyway, tour was excellent; you can ask questions as you go and she tailors it to what you want to see. We were interested in some highlights from her videos and an ancient church. We saw everything and never felt rushed for time. 10/10 she’s the best!!! - also other people recognized her from her videos and asked for photos with her! She’s a celebrity!
Dear Rachel and Jacob, Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words. It was lovely touring with you and I am happy that you enjoyed much with my guidance in Tbilisi. Wish you all the best and much of travel! Kind Wishes, Teona
From the moment we met Maia we knew we had chosen the right guide. She made our trip exciting, entertaining, informative and was a joy to spend five days with. We laughed, learned, marveled and felt so at home with her in her beautiful and fascinating country. She chose perfect destinations, great accommodation and spectacular food. We came away with a whole new understanding of the Caucasus region and the desire to come back again soon. We can’t recommend Maia highly enough. She is ultimately professional with a wonderful sense of fun and the desire to ensure you have the best time.
Dear Susannah and Chris, Thank you so much for such a warm and a very positive reference. I really enjoyed your company and hope we'll meet again soon in Georgia, as u promised. My best greetings to u and Chris. With much respect, Maia.
