“Giorgi is fantastic. Hands up to him! He showcased his passion from the way he presented his self and his intelligence in street art. He's fully equipped and knows what he's doing from the way he provided interesting information and overview. Gave us a vibe like a local georgian from wine to dessert tasting. Also, he's very accomodating and chill, no dull moments walking down the street checking every street art and its history. On top of that, he's a great singer too and has passion for music. Superb work Giorgi, keep it going. thanks for the wonderful experience!”
