Real stories, real escapes.

Travelled solo and never once felt like the odd one out. The pace was honest — a couple of early starts, and they told us in advance rather than springing them. Already looking at their Manali, Sissu & Kasol trip.

Booked this one fairly late and still got a seat on the October batch. Food stops were picked by someone who actually eats there, not off a list. Already looking at their Manali, Sissu & Kasol trip.

Paid, packed, turned up. That was genuinely the whole job. Transfers and check-ins were sorted before we arrived anywhere, which I had not expected at this price. Would do it again with the same crew.

First group trip for me, and Land in Tbilisi on day one took the nerves out of it. Mtskheta is the bit I keep describing to people who did not go. Would do it again with the same crew.

The route sold it — Tbilisi, Gudauri in 7 days without me planning a thing. Borjomi was the day everyone had come for, and it delivered. Would do it again with the same crew.
