    • Outstanding company. All staff very professional. Excellent arrangements- thoughtful, well put together and excellent information and preparation throughout. Could not recommend more highly.

      Robert
    • Wir hatten eine Dreitägige Fototour gebucht. Unsere Guidin samt Fahrer waren total nett und herzlich. Wir haben uns von der ersten Sekunde an sehr wohl gefühlt. Trotz arg kurzer Zeit wurde uns sehr viel gezeigt von Land, Leuten, Tieren und Kultur, dass es schon fast schwer war, all die Impressionen auf einmal zu verarbeiten. Wir können die Tour nur empfehlen und würden es am liebsten sofort wiederholen. Ganz großen Dank noch einmal!

      Jacqueline
    • We booked a 9 day trip through all of Georgia with the guide (Tbilisi, Kakheti region, Signagi, Telavi, Gori, Kutaisi, Svaneti region, Batumi). Excellent experience and best service from Camp Caucasus. Highly recommended company!
