An absolutely stunning guide to Georgia

This guide to Georgia by the wonderful Emily Lush has absolutely blown my mind!! I've had a long-held desire to visit Georgia and have been following Emily's travels through the country for the past few years, so was very excited to hear about the release of this guide. It's far exceeded my expectations, however, with detailed information on the history of Georgia, its culture and traditions, information on the various different regions of the country, along with suggested itineraries and other tips, all brought to life with Emily's stunning photographs and packaged in a beautifully-designed and easy to follow document. I couldn't recommend this guide more!

A must-have for anyone visiting Tbilisi

I have read Tbilisi City Guide with a pleasure. The book is a massive soruce of information not only for the first time visitors but also for people who familiar with the general structure of Tbilisi and want to explore the city in-depth. It's and easy, comprehensive read. The information is clear and acessible. In addition, the author has a lovely, picturesque writting style which makes reading the guide a delightful experience.

I Wish Every Destination Had a Travel Guide Like This One

I’m planning a trip to Georgia and Armenia in 2024. This book is fantastic. Filled with details and guidance I cannot find in any other source. Competing Georgia travel guides do not stand up to this book. Amazing the detailed and nuanced descriptions of every Tblisi neighborhood. The hotel and restaurant descriptions are excellent and so complete. It’s obvious the author put her heart and soul into the work and it pays off. Honestly, I wish every travel destination had a guide like this available. And - the author promises to update the digital version routinely as things change on the ground.

Simply The Best Tbilisi Guide

This guidebook is, like everything else Emily writes about her travel experiences, very comprehensive and thorough. It is almost impossible to find anything missing. I have lived in Tbilisi for more than five years, and I can say that I am very impressed by the content of the guide. I always use Emily's recommendations to friends and acquaintances who want to visit Tbilisi and Georgia. In my opinion, the guide is almost a guarantee that the visit to Tbilisi will be successful.

So much more to discover!

While I have been to Tbilisi this book has so much more than I have known about. From museums to wine bars, there is so much I would never discover on my own.
