Dato.
About this host
Dato is a freelance guide and driver based in Tbilisi, who both plans and personally drives the trips he sells across Georgia. He works with a small network of other guides and drivers, so when he is already booked he can still arrange a car and an English-speaking guide for travelers.
His trips cover the country's classic routes: Kazbegi and the Georgian Military Highway, wine day trips through Kakheti, and multi-day loops into Svaneti, a region guests mention he is especially attached to. He also offers city tours and photoshoots around Tbilisi in a vintage Lada, alongside SUV and minivan options for longer, more off-road itineraries.
Guests consistently describe him as knowledgeable, easygoing and good-humored, with trips that go beyond sightseeing, from roadside BBQs to detours to lesser-known churches and villages. Several reviews also note that he helps with planning before the trip even starts, not only with the drive itself.
Depending on group size, he drives his own SUV or minivan, or brings in a larger vehicle and driver for bigger groups. He builds itineraries around what travelers want to see, discusses realistic timing and seasonal road conditions with them in advance, and can add extras like drone footage of the trip.

Simply amazing experience. Dato has helped me from planning my itinerary to booking transport. He has been my go to person and was always available in case I need any help. We had a great time in Georgia and the person who was responsible was Dato. I would truly recommend you all to chose Dato as your guide. Thanks for all your help.
Could not have asked for a better guide! Dato gave us a great tour and driving experience in his Lada. The car itself is in amazing condition and is well maintained. This is only surpassed by Dato's amazing service! We visited some of the top spots and he even treated us to a BBQ by the lake. Dato is also extremely knowledgeable on the history and information of the sights we visited making his tour perfect for those who appreciate both classic cars and the history of Tbilisi. Highly recommended and will definitely be seeing Dato on our next trip to Georgia!
