Mikheil, known to travelers as Misha, is a driver based in Tbilisi who works alone, without a company or a team of other guides. He drives his own cars, a Toyota Prius for city and lowland trips and a Ssangyong Rexton 4WD for mountain roads.
He covers routes across Georgia, from the Kazbegi area and Truso Valley to Racha, Svaneti, Borjomi, Sighnaghi and the David Gareji monasteries, and can also drive into Armenia. He is especially known for multi-day trips into the Caucasus Mountains, including a jeep tour through Racha with wine tasting at a local winery.
Guests consistently describe him as a safe, skilled driver who knows the roads well and goes out of his way to look after travelers, including joining them on hikes and helping with gear. Several mention feeling well taken care of and recommend him specifically as a driver rather than a guide, which matches how he describes himself.
He plans routes around what travelers want to see, discussing the itinerary and price in advance, and is upfront that he offers driving rather than formal guiding. Trips can run from single days to multi-day journeys with accommodation and meals included.
We had an absolutely great experience with Misha! He is not only a great and very safe driver, but also a genuinely kind and lovely person to spend time with. We spent two days with Misha, driving from Tbilisi to Kazbegi and exploring the area along the way. Even though there was sometimes a bit of a language barrier, we always managed to understand each other and had a great time. On our second day, we really wanted to visit Truso Valley. Misha drove us there safely, joined us on the hike, and constantly made sure that we were comfortable and safe. He even carried my backpack during the hike and looked out for both of us when we came across some dogs that may have been wild. Misha was a really good driver, a true gentleman, and, most importantly, a genuinely good person. We felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout our trip. What more can I say? If you're looking for a driver in Georgia, just book with Misha, you won't regret it! :)
I had an amazing days in Stepantsminda (Kazbegi). Thanks to Mikheil... very professional private guide with great knowledge of road and every places. His car is very powerful and his driving skills are excellent and safe.
He is very friendly and will do his best to make the customer happy. I had a three day trip with him that I thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommended.
