Super, I can just offer to everybody

Im Nationalpark war es sehr eindrucksvoll, wie im Regenwald. Sehr abenteuerlich! Unglaublich diese Größe und Vielfalt im botanischen Garten.

The guide was very knowledgeable and all the places we've been to are breathtaking!

Wonderfull. Igna our guide was fabulous. She grew up in the Arjarian highlands and gave us wonderfull info about Georgia. She was friendly helpfull and stop at several small places of intrest where we could take photo's. Makhuntseti bridge, waterfall and the Arjarian wine house are a must when visiting Georgia. We highly recomment Igna. Pick up and drop off at hotel included. She even suggested several other activities such as zip line, horse riding, quad bikes and was willing to wait while we did it.(Remember all the extra activities are for your own pocket). Thanks Igna we enjoyed the tour.

Had a great tour of the canyon and the lakes. My guide was very personable and fun. The views were beautiful, and food was also tasty. I would definitely recommend the tour to other travellers, and I'm already dreaming of my next trip to Georgia.

Very comfortable, informative! Mr. Saba was doing their best to make sure, that we can see a lot. Mr. Levan was excellent driver. Very professional. It was a pleasure to spend time with him.

Excellemt trip

It was sad that we could not go to Azerbaijan, but instead we started our tour in Batumi. This was a bonus and we enjoyed the Black sea and all the sites in Batumi. The guides did their best to accommodate us and were caring people. There was also a mistake made on our final itenery. The person that worked out the final itenery skipped one day on the programme. So we had one day to spend on our own in Tsiblisi. Consequently we had one day shorter in Armenia. Overall it was a great experience and we saw a large part of especially Georgia.

I had taken the 12 day tour of Azerbaijan,Armenia and Georgia with Sakura LLC in September/October of 2021 and it was absolutely amazing. I had traveled solo and there was another couple on the tour with me. The itinerary was excellent - along with the general sightseeing we also got to visit the brandy factory in Yerevan, Armenia and wine tasting in Georgia. The guides in all the places were well informed and excellent. The meals that were included were also superb. I highly recommend this tour. I would love to give it more than five stars!

We really enjoyed our trip, guide was kind, experienced and had great knowledge about the region. We specifically liked the waterfall and small stops to check out the monuments. I would highly recommend this trip

I had a fabulous 12 day trip to Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia. The places we saw were amazing. The tour guides in each place were knowledgeable and efficient. The meals that were included were very good. The only thing I would recommend is that the hotels in Yerevan and Tbilisi be more centrally located. The Sakura team has also done an excellent job with the planning. I highly recommend this tour.

The tour is a very good itinerary for an introduction to the Caucus countries and the delivery was well done. The tour guides in Georgia (Saba) and Armenia (Narine) we’re excellent, informative, passionate, and engaging. A couple days of disappointments: the tour guide in Azerbaijan was not only involved or interested. He did not handle one difficult tourist properly or professionally. Also, the cost of the COVID test was not included or paid by the tour even though it was an absolute requirement to reenter Georgia to complete the tour. The tourists should be reimbursed for the cost of the COVID test.

This is a must-do activity when u visit Georgia, the landmarks are amazing, nature in its best! And what makes it better is the positive and very helpful tour guide Inga, who made the tour more fun and meaningful… the botanic garden has breath taking views and the hike we did in the mountain was a bit exhausting but worth it, thank you Inga for a memorable day!

Our "8 days cultural and trekking trip in Georgia" was a really great experience. Very professionally prepared from the very beginning. But the best was the team we traveled with. Our guide Mariam not only knew the history and customs of Georgia, she was also able to show us a good restaurant with Georgian cuisine or good wine. She was also a great mountain guide during trekkings. Our driver Tengo was also a fully professional, which is very important on Georgian roads. It was a great and safe trip! Peter and Manuel

Our 10-day tour, "Wonders of Georgia", with Sukura was definitely a highlight and we will highly recommend you to anyone. We enjoyed the company of Gela for the first two days and then Saba and Kote were superb company when we travelled out of Tbilisi. They were knowledgeable about the historical places we visited, listened to our comments on what we liked to do and see, took us to great places to try local food and they both made our holiday very special, memorable and fun. We have been on many tours before where the guides and drivers were nowhere close to being as good as Saba and Kote. Thank you SO much for a fabulous holiday. Deb & Gary

This was my one of the excellent tour in life. This was my second tour and I loved it. Entire trip Was amazing and tour guide Emilia was very good. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and cool. This was really a good experience of this trip with her and I got good knowledge of places visited. No doubt this company has good and well trained staff who knows how to provide a good tour to people and ensure they like country.

WholIy I was satisfied with the Sakura Travel Agency. I booked a one-day tour to Kazbegi to see a beautiful scenery. I recommend you to ask Sakura before you make a plan to travel Georgia for three reasons. 1. Kind support When I booked a tour online, I faced an issue on payment. I inquired by email and they supported me openheartedly, and the issue was solved. Sakura is eager to present Georgia’s attractiveness, so you can ask them about the country if you plan to visit there. 2. Flexible and comfort tours Since they took me to Kazbegi by car, it became more comfort than bus tours. In addition, as the tour was personalized, I was able to decide how long to spend time on each spot and the guide gave me some proposals for restaurants for lunch. 3. Hospitality Surely they will provide you detail explanations on the country’s history, culture, and the like. I learned many things that I could not know if I traveled alone. Furthermore, the driver and the guide treated me as a guest with intimacy. We had a lunch together and talked a lot. This hospitality made my trip superb. To end, I was happy to travel with Sakura. Thanks to them, I enjoyed Georgia and it became a precious memory.

We had a wonderful wine tour in Georgia, Georgian wine is magic. Tour was very well organized, many thanks to our lovely guide who was very attentive, we feel very comfortable during the whole trip and will use your service in future too! Thank you Sakura Travel, good luck!

brilliant guide... very knowledgeable and imparted with flair and aplomb. full 7and a half hours and we came away knowing so much about the history and current politics of Georgia..well worth the price. very impressed.

Beautiful and interesting countries. Great food and wine especially in Georgia (and not expensive. Well organized with very knowledgable and very niche guides!

Interesting and beautiful countries. Great food and wine (especially in Georgia) and very knowledgable und nice guides. 12 days just right - not to short and not to long!

My husband and I took this tour two weeks ago. We had a wonderful time. We purchased our tour through Viator. The tour guides in Azerbaijan (Ulka) and Armenia (Roze) were very good. They were knowledgeable and well prepared. Our guide in Georgia (Leila) was nice and energetic, she did not have a grasp of the history and information of the sights we visited. The other guides were constantly giving us information about customs, culture, history - a little bit of everything during our long trips. The food was good, a little repetitive but there was always plenty. We did not like the hotel in Baku. I would rate it a three star and not a four star hotel. All the sights we visited were wonderful. The museums were great. Overall, it is a great trip.

My tour guide, Gunel, was a gem of a person.. She knows the pulse of Baku so well and she herself is full of life and energy. Extremely cheerful that makes the whole trip with her worthwhile. We unfortunately missed the boat trip in our first attempt, however what impressed me was Gunel's persistence in ensuring that the boat ride happens no matter what! She ensured it and boy was it a beautiful experience to see Baku from the Caspian Sea... Thank you so much Gunel.. I hope others get the privilege of seeing Baku through you.

go for it very interesting places of worship

A good introduction to the 3 countries

All ok

Tour was great, however there isn't alot of free time included in the itinerary especially in Georgia. Also the itineary could be more specific - i.e. the first day there were no meals included (dinner) and another day the itinerary advised lunch was included when it wasnt

I had a really great time on this group tour. It was well planned out and organised, informative and covered the best places in each country. Our guides in each country Tural, Gela and Nasine were all fantastic and very passionate about us seeing and learning everything about their beautiful countries. The drivers were great too. The hotels and restaurants were all really good. I would highly recommend this tour.

Zaal was great. Was always on time and very knowledgeable. He took great care of all his guests.

It was an interesting trip with a lot things to see and discover

We took a day trip to Kazbegi and a winery tour the next day. I asked a Japanese-speaking person to be a tour guide, and I was given a detailed explanation of some of the churches I visited, which deepened my understanding of Georgia. And the wonderful scenery at Kazbegi is still vivid in my mind as something I will never forget. I would like to stay here again.

Very nice city, perfect guide

So happy during my stay in Georgia, I could go plenty of winery, big company to small family winery. I also had many chances to eat local delicious food. In my case, I ordered arrange my wishes and Sakura was so fine.

Very much enjoyed this tour. Overall the accommodations were fine, some of the meals were spectacular and some of the guides outstanding. The schedule was quite heavy and some free time should be built into the schedule by skipping some of the visits.

“大変いい思い出になりました。” ガイドの方、運転手の方もとても親切でまるで日本と同じような おもてなしツアーでした。日本語ツアーは少し高いので躊躇しましたが 選んでよかったです。 運転手の方の運転もとても安全運転で安心してツアーを楽しめました。 こちらの意向や要望にも応えて頂き、適宜様々な提案をして頂き いろいろな体験をする事ができて思い出深いツアーになりました。 ガイドのタムナさん、運転手のアチコさん、どうもありがとう。 またジョージアに行った際はお世話になります。

Very good experience but the facilities near the Dinosaurs foot print sight need to be improved

Good information but it will be much better if there was some performance

We really enjoyed this tour, the itinerary covered many different sights and experiences. The guides were friendly & knowledgeable and we appreciated the pride they took in showing us their countries and explaining the history and culture. All the hotels were excellent and in great locations. The local restaurants in each town were amazing and it was great to try the different cuisines, the food was tasty and plenty offered. Travelling in a van as part of a small group also made the tour more comfortable. We highly recommend this tour and feel it was excellent value for money.

Everything about the tour was fantastic. In each country there was a new guide and all of them were excellent, very friendly and informative. All the hotels were very nice and in convenient locations. The dinners were all in very good- restaurants, great food, great places and often with local dancing and traditional singing. The itinerary ran as advertised and all the places visited were interesting.

The tour was excellent and we had a great driver and enthusiastic guide. We enjoyed the itinerary. Except for one night, the food was outstanding. In terms of the places you visit and the food, you cannot go wrong. It won't hit every important site in the country on this itinerary, but it does a good job of giving a taste of the regions of Georgia. And if you happen to have Levan as a driver you will not regret it! Now for the "bad" news: First, and foremost, there is a lot of traffic on the roads. A lot a lot. As such, sometimes I felt the driving to dinner was too long. While the hotel was nice, maybe it is worth considering by Sakara to balance getting accommodation closer to the city center in the peak Summer travel period to reduce the travel times, because I believe most of the good restaurants will be closer to the center than where we stayed in Tblisi. The traffic in Batumi was just downright painful. It must be noted that this is August, so everyone is traveling, especially to Batumi. We certainly experienced that. And it was not totally unexpected as this is "normal". Next, for those few people who are looking for in-depth scholarly (ie. encyclopedic) descriptions by a PhD in history of the sites you see: we did not experience that. What we did get was a great driver who loved to provide personal insights about his country and the areas we visited and a guide who gladly described her personal experience and did not get upset when her guests messed up madloba twenty times.

We visited Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia and the transfer from one team to the next went well. We were able to customize the trip with our hotel choices. All was handle easily by email. Best of all, we loved each of our three guides.

Totally amazing tour. The different guide for each country made it more special as they were all very knowledgeable about their country. Highly recommend to anyone looking to travel through this region

In Tiblisi everything was very good. The hotel was located nicely and very ckean with cooporative staff. The guide Nano was very good, friendly and easy going made the tour unforgettable. However, in Yerevan the Hotel was very bad , the staff were not cooperative, the hotel has no elevator's and help with the luggage was not provided up and down the many floors. In addition for ky family rooms were located in saparate floors which was not convenient. And the staff was not willing to change untill the matter escalates ri director level. When it comes to the guide in Yerevan her name was Roza she was an amazing guide. And made the tour excellent. She was very informative and friendly.

Most definitely will recommend this tour to family and friends. Good value for the price of the tour.

Excellent tour. Small group. Excellent tour guides in all countries. Very good hotels (the exception was the hotel in Sheki).

My first experience of an organised travel and I couldn't ask for more -Perfect organisation by Sakura -Amazing Guided Tour -Super efficient Logistics to let you explore what otherwise you would not take the pain to visit -Food fiesta -Felt like family than a tour and travel Brilliant experience and highly recommended

We took in all the key sights within our tour of Georgia, including wine tasting, Kasbegi, Tbilisi amd the amazing case monasteries in the south. Everything was expertly organised and very professional Huge thanks to our guide Gella, who was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about all thing Georgia. It was a really insightful experience and we'd definately reccomend it. Thanks for everything. Dave and Shauna.

Kaoru and I went on two tours with Acha the driver and Gala the guide, in a Toyota Prius. Wow we had a wonderful time, from start to finish Gala was giving us all sorts of information about the tour and Georgia in general. Ache's driving was great, we live in Tokyo where we go everywhere by train, but we could relax with Acha at the wheel. We went to a well know restaurant, but the music was too loud, so Gel and Acha suggested a more Georgian alternative where we could enjoy real Georgian cuisine and more Georgian history. We have been on a lot of tours in many different countries, our tours with Gala and Acha were by far the best. We are already planning our next trip to Georgia, Sakura Travel Agency is our only option.

The tour was well organized and the guide and driver were excellent in servicing all through. Worth contacting this agent who is also very flexible for customizing tours.

こちらでは、アゼルバイジャン、ジョージア、アルメニアの３ヶ国１２日(フライトの都合で僕は１１日に調整しましたが)に参加しました。一人で参加でしたので、専用の車とガイドさんで少し贅沢なツアーとなりました。 実際、ジョージアにいる間は、Sakuraツアーさんのガイドさんとドライバーさんになりますが、アゼルバイジャン、アルメニアはそれぞれの国の旅行会社から手配されたガイドさんとドライバーさんになります。でも、国境では密に連絡を取り合ってきちんとハンドオーバーしてくれますので、全く問題ありません。 Sakuraツアーさんが手配してくれたガイドのGelaさん、ドライバーのAchikoさんとも全く問題ない方々でした。Gelaさんは色々なところでとても丁寧に説明してくれました。車も新しいプリウスでとても快適でした。 ツアーの手配はメールでのやり取りで、担当のタムナさんはとても丁寧にご対応いただき、安心できました。ご手配いただいたホテルはどこも快適でよかったです。

I had a wonderful tour of the opera and ballet theatre house including a walk about Old Tbilisi. I was fortunate to sit in a VIP seat to watch the dress rehearsal of “Tosca” What a treat! Thank you to my amazing guide Niniko for the company, information and overall hospitality! Highly recommend tour!

Wow! What a service!! My girlfriend and I returned last month from a 9 day Georgia/Armenia trip that we organized thru Sakura. Their service in one word – WOW!! I am still stunned at their attention and care, and when I sit back and examine the price we paid vs. where we stayed and what was covered (and compared it with other quotes), I am convinced that this is the best value that I have got among my many travels. I am serious! Even before the trip started, I was very impressed with David’s email feedback as he patiently answered my queries and set up the tour. All the hotels they selected were 4 stars. We will especially remember a night that they had booked us in a castle when we were en-route to Armenia. It was so cool! All stayed included a nice breakfast buffet; more splendid were the dinners – every one of them – that they had arranged at various restaurants were excellent for both the venue and the taste. The guide and driver we had in Georgia were Ms. Natali and Mr. Zaza. Natali looks more like a model – really! – and enthusiastic. A very sweet lady with poise and grace, who patiently introduced us to her wonderful country. We were more than touched by Zaza, who helped us tremendously on the last day when we returned from Armenia and had to catch the flight @ the same night. A well-reviewed basic hotel that I had booked thru another site botched the reservation and by the time they could arrange for a different place, it took a few hours. It was pouring and the language difficulty added to the confusion and stress. Luckily, Zara patiently waited for us and actually intervened to speak to the two hotels and ensured that we were taken care off. He also arranged with Sakura to prepare a fancier hotel just in case this fell thru but luckily it went smooth and he took us to the different hotel. (Thank you Zara!) Armenia leg – this was arranged by Sakura thru their partners, Merry Tour. the guide’s name was Ashot and he too was splendid. He was so knowledgeable that I didn’t have enough time to get all my questions answered. I am so glad to have seen these two old and beautiful countries thru the services of Sakura. They made the whole trip so relaxed and enjoyable and I will certainly recommend Sakura as the only tour operator one needs to contact for their journey to these countries. Their service, price, and value are unbeatable. Thank you Sakura and your whole team for providing such excellent services. Wish you the very best, and I will certainly contact you when I come there again. Best of luck!!

This tour provided a good overview of the Caucasus region. David was very professional and responded very promptly to requests/questions. Aram, guide from Armenia, was very knowledgeable and hospitable. Together with the driver, they made the visit to Armenia memorable. Nika, guide from Georgia, was very helpful and he would go out of his way to ensure that the visit went smoothly. Overall, a great visit. Thank you very much, Sakura!

I have no other words about Sakura Georgia but excellent -we visited Georgia through sakura we enjoyed the trip and the coordination and arrangements are excellent.The driver and guide were perfect.We never have to wait anywhere for any thing for even minute . Very professional and well arranged Enjoyed a lot !!

Glad to write that we have really enjoyed a beautiful country Georgia with nicely planned the tour by Sakuara. Specifically the guys George and Leaven accompanied us in very co operative manner, and became just like a family friend. ! Timely response and punctuality of these guys are commendable. Enjoyed a lot !!

In September 2018, we had a wonderful 11 days in Georgia. We organised the tour with Sakura, and I really cannot recommend them enough - they were suburb. Everything ran smoothly and to plan. The hotels they booked were perfect and we left it to them to suggest the itinerary. This way they made sure that we got to see all the main attractions. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer! We had a private driver called Levan who was very safe (the driving in Georgia is otherwise a bit scary), and our guide, Gari, was the perfect host. If you are thinking of visiting Georgia, (and you really should), then I highly recommend Sakura.

11 days in Georgia by Sakura- FANTASTIC I would like to thank Sakura’s team four our 11 unforgettable days spent in Georgia. We traveled across Georgia and enjoyed the country. Thanks to perfect organisation made by Sakura LTD we had the best travel of our life. It’s my second time with Sakura agency and anytime you surprise me by your professionalism and your gentility. I highly suggest and recommend your travel agency to all my friends. Thank you for our trip and brilliant organisation. Bravo! Greetings from Paris

We are very happy with Sakura. I sent in the tailor-made tour request and received answer quickly. Despite my countless requests to readjust the program, Magda was very patient and helped adjusting until we got a perfect itinerary to suit our requirement, despite many completes on our requests. I compared Sakura with 5 more tour operators in parallel and Sakura won with the best itinerary, service, and price. Everything was very smooth. During the tour we also had a great time. Our guide Aneta is just the best. Very sweet, knowleadgeable, service-minded ,and has a super polished manner. The driver Mr. Zaza was also very nice. Though he drove a bit wild sometimes, I guest all Georgian do so. We had a great time for 7 days and nothing at all we could complain about. I would recommend Sakura to anyone.

次回もよろしくお願いします！ 約1週間のジョージア旅行、加えて1日のアルメニア滞在で大変お世話になりました。この素晴らしい旅を私は一生忘れません。 初日にタムナさんとケーブルカーに乗って行ったムタツミンダ山、楽しかったです。レストラン『フニクラ』の焼きたてアジャルリハチャプリは絶品！帰り道に立ち寄ったママダビデ教会ではタムナさんと一緒に奇跡の湧き水を頂きました。 その後は4日間、ドライバーのザザさんにトビリシ~カズベギ~ボルジョミ~サパラ修道院~トビリシをずっと巡って頂きました。ザザさんは車上から写真を撮るとき撮りやすいようにスピードを落としてくれたり、暑いので水を買ってくれたり、レストランでは頼み方がわからない私達の為に一番美味しいメニューの組み合わせをお店に伝えてくれたり、至れり尽くせりでした。運転中ジョージアの音楽をかけてくれたり、ご実家の写真を見せて、伝統的なジョージアの家の様子や自家製ワインのつくり方を紹介してくれました。4日間の運転で疲れているはずなのに、私の下手なロシア語会話に嫌な顔ひとつせずお付き合い下さったのも感謝します。 アルメニアのエレバンでも、ステキなガイドのアンさんとドライバーさんをご紹介下さり助かりました。アララト山がきれいに見える1日でした。 タムナさんもザザさんも、ジョージア人として誇りがあり、自国の素晴らしさを私達旅行者に伝えたいという情熱を感じました。自分達が本当に良いと思うジョージアを私達に体験させて下さいましたね。日本に帰国してすぐ、またコーカサスを訪れたいと思ってしまいました。サクラトラベルさん、どうか次回もよろしくお願いします！それから友人達にもサクラトラベルさんを自信を持って推薦しておきますね！

My husband and I booked a ten-day, best of Georgia tour with Sakura in June and just returned from our trip in early October. Every minute was spectacular. First, the folks at Sakura were always quick to respond and answered all of my questions kindly and thoroughly. I could not have been more pleased with their correspondence. Second, our guide Lela was very knowledgeable, kind, and most of all - caring. She went above and beyond to make sure that we experienced everything Georgia had to offer, while always checking to see if we felt safe and comfortable. She is a gem and Sakura is very lucky to have her. Third, our driver Levan was very nice, helpful, and careful. He drove fast at times, but was always safe. Finally, the country is a masterpiece. We were so lucky to be able to see so much, thanks to the team at Sakura. We are already thinking about when we can return, especially to the Svaneti region in the Caucasus, which was breathtaking. If you are interested in Georgia, please don't hesitate to book this tour!
