    ✨ Georgia Adventure was Made Perfect by Travel Triangle & “Wish Your Journey”_ ✨ This is my 4th or 5th trip with TT. From mountain highs to valley lows, both the agencies nailed every detail — seamless itineraries, hidden gems, and zero stress. And “Wish Your Journey”? Pure gold. Their local partner
    s in Georgia turned every meal, hike, and sunset into magic and family like experience. Khachapuri in Tbilisi, waterfalls in Racha, wine in Sighnaghi — they made it unforgettable. Grateful for both teams.

    Nimesh's 9 days trip to St Petersburg

    Planning a vacation with another couple can be tricky - different preferences, different energy levels, and the constant worry about whether everyone will enjoy themselves. My wife and I recently traveled to Georgia with our close friends, and thanks to WishYourJourney, it turned out to be one of ou
    r most memorable trips ever! The Planning Phase: When we first connected with WishYourJourney through TravelTriangle, I was clear about one thing - we needed flexibility. We didn't want a cookie-cutter itinerary where we'd be rushed from one place to another. We wanted the freedom to linger at places we loved and skip things that didn't interest us. I was pleasantly surprised when Raman, our dedicated contact person, assured us that this wouldn't be a problem at all. Before the Journey: Raman's professionalism and knowledge were evident right from our initial conversations. He took the time to understand what we were looking for and offered valuable suggestions based on his expertise. In the weeks leading up to our departure, he was in constant touch, making sure all our arrangements were in place and that we had everything we needed. His proactive communication gave us tremendous confidence and peace of mind. During the Trip: This is where WishYourJourney truly shined. The entire trip was incredibly hassle-free and comfortable. Every hotel, every transfer, every experience was exactly as promised - no unpleasant surprises, no compromises on quality. But what really impressed us was how our requests for flexibility were honored at every single point. Want to spend an extra hour at that beautiful viewpoint? No problem. Prefer to start the day a bit later? Absolutely. Want to swap activities around? Consider it done. This flexibility transformed our vacation from a good trip to an exceptional one. Raman didn't just disappear after we landed in Georgia. He checked in with us regularly throughout our journey, making sure we weren't hitting any blockers and that everything was going according to plan. It felt like having a knowledgeable friend looking out for us, rather than just a service provider. The Verdict: All four of us returned home with wonderful memories and zero complaints. WishYourJourney delivered on every commitment they made, and Raman's exceptional service made all the difference. If you're looking for a travel agent who combines professionalism with genuine care, who listens to your needs and actually delivers on them, I cannot recommend WishYourJourney highly enough. Thank you, Raman and team, for making our Georgia adventure so special. We'll definitely be reaching out for our next international trip!

    Sourav's 8 days trip to St Petersburg

    Our recent trip to Georgia (the country) was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Everything went smoothly — from the airport pickup to hotel arrangements, daily tours, and transfers. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to experience the perfect balance of nature, history, culture, and
    food. We visited beautiful places like Tbilisi, Batumi, Uplistsikhe, the Chronicle of Georgia, Mtskheta, Batumi and the stunning mountain, each offering something unique and memorable. The country’s landscapes are breathtaking, and the people are warm and welcoming everywhere we went. A special mention goes to our guide, George, who made the entire trip exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable about Georgia’s history, culture, and traditions, and he explained everything in a very engaging way. George was also very patient, well-organized, and always ensured our comfort and safety throughout the journey. His recommendations for local food, restaurants, and shopping were spot-on. We could not have asked for a better guide. Overall, our experience in Georgia was beyond expectations — a perfect combination of scenic beauty, hospitality, and well-managed travel services. We highly recommend visiting Georgia and especially recommend George as a guide to anyone planning a trip here. We are returning home with wonderful memories and would love to visit again!
