We did this tour in Tbilisi with David and he was by far one of the more animated guru guides we've had after 30+ tours around the world. He is a pure entertainer and wanted to focus on people having a good time rather than reciting years and dates for monuments. We found it to be fairly effective as he was a fun guy and he also was cognizant of looking out for people when it came to scammers and dangers of the road. We didn't always understand everything he was saying, but we had a good time and enjoyed the route around town and the things we saw. It was a good first use of a day to see these sites. I would recommend booking with David for a fun walk.
We recently did this tour with Lasha. His partner also showed up so the two of them talked about this together. It was interesting to see some things we probably never would have seen in Tbilisi otherwise - or thought to seek out. The abandoned trains were neat and the neighbourhood was cool to see. The two guides were also friendly and Lasha was quite passionate about all the stops. I would recommend a bit more information at the beginning about what we were going to see and the significance of all the sites before getting started. A bit of an intro basically. We didn't always understand what all the crime was referring to at each of the stops. Otherwise, it was a nice way to spend an evening walking around. It seems to be a new offering so with a bit of fine tuning, it could probably be a pretty interesting niche tour once you've seen the main normal sites of Tbilisi.
We had a great tour with Dina and really enjoyed our day. It's a long walk but we were up for it and enjoyed seeing lots of the city. Dina herself was very friendly and open to sharing information about the city and her country. Everyone on the tour was quite surprised about how beautiful the city was and how much more interesting the sites were than we had all expected. Let's be honest, people don't know too much about Azerbaijan before coming here. In reality, it's quite neat! I would recommend this walking tour but be prepared to walk. And note that the funicular doesn't run on Monday. It didn't run during our tour so we just skipped it and took it the next day. It's also worth taking to get a few from the top of the hill. Overall, we had a great time.
We did a tour with Aiguerim while visiting Almaty and she was a very pleasant and professional guide. You could tell she cared about people's experience and that she also really likes her city. She was very good at managing the group and was extremely knowledgeable about each spot we stopped at. We enjoyed ourselves but if there was anything that could be improved, we would say a bit less time at the market and a few more other locations on the tour. It would be nice to see more of what Almaty has to offer. Overall it was a good tour though.
We had a delightful walking tour with Reg out and about in Christchurch. He was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who brought us to some really excellent spots around Christchurch. It was very interesting to see how Christchurch changed following the devestating earthquake. The walk was not too long, too short and it was an easy walking route. He does not have many reviews yet but I would very much encourage you to register for this tour while visiting the city. It was a highlight of our time in the city.
