Georgia (not to be confused with the state) is an incredible country still largely unknown to the English-speaking West. It is a land of breath-taking natural beauty with plenty to see and do in winter and summer alike. Georgia is the definition of an alpine and historic paradise with eye-catching alpine monasteries and delicious food.
Some of the hostels in this tiny country offer not only great accommodation and the "hostel vibe", but also will help anyone plan their trip in this packed country. Georgian food (regarded as some of the best in the USSR) alone is enough to entice many people to visit.
Envoy Hostel And Tours Tbilisi
Envoy Hostel and Tours caters to everyone and offers everything from tours to all the main attractions in the eastern half of Georgia to village tours. They only offer their tours in English.
Their village tours are not what one might expect. These are not overly commercialized villages where the locals are used to tourists. Instead, they go to villages around the place beforehand and approach locals and ask them if they would like to receive international guests. Once the village hosts are confident enough to open their own guest house the hostel finds new hosts for whom receiving international guests will also be an all-new experience.
