Ski Touring and Splitboarding Week in Gudauri, Georgia

the guide was excellent

Giorgi was friendly, professional and flexible. Wasnt too communicative, also I would say a little bit bored and didnt really allow us alot of freedom, but understandably he is the guide and he knows the terrain and dangers. He took his time and made our time really good!

Mindful of my interest in how to approach the mountain, Giorgi said he would match my pace and wait whenever I paused to take a photo. It was clear he truly enjoyed what he did—he was confident and capable in his element—yet more than happy to slow down and share the climb with me. During our breaks, he shared parts of his culture and emphasized the importance of maintaining good communication throughout the ascent. When I began feeling the effects of the altitude, I let him know, and we checked in regularly until we decided together when it was best to turn back. I’m grateful I had someone who was not only experienced, but also genuinely present, for both the journey and my safety.

Dear Georgi, We decided to climb Mount Kazbek with a professional mountain guide. Not only did you guide us in a highly professional manner and with the latest equipment, you also captured the wonderful memories photographically and, best of all, you welcomed us into your circle of Georgian mountain friends. Thank you for everything and hopefully see you soon in the Caucasus or the Alps! Monika + Sebastian

Giorgi was an excellent guide! He really looked after us and cared about our safety from the bottom to the very top of Mt. Kazbek. He is a very calm guide, happy to follow your time schedule but also to make a schedule for you. We had very nice conversations and he told us a lot of Georgian culture which was so interesting. He is also a guide who will give you space and time. We highly recommend him!!
