Customer Review

  • Beautiful tour through the mountains. We were hiking from one valley to the next, met wonderful people, ate delicious georgien food and enjoyed the beautiful nature.

    Susanne
  • Camp Caucasus is an absolutely amazing organization that provides and absolutely amazing and top quality service. They made what seemed like an impossible planning effort into an extremely thoughtful, efficient, and one-of-a-kind adventure.

    Chad
  • We did the Peaks and Valleys of Sveneti self-guided walk in June and it was spectacular. The wildflowers were in full bloom against snow-topped mountains and brilliant blue skies. There was also some afternoon thunder and rain to complete our experience (we had been forewarned – but the lure of wildflowers and fewer crowds made it well worth it).

    Nancy
