CARBON REDUCTION

The maximum number of participants in our groups is 8-13 persons, as the routes are not designed for larger groups. This helps travelers to feel the whole authenticity of the area. Small groups don't have a negative impact either on the communities or on the environment.

Vegetarian and vegan food is available.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

We provide responsible travel guidelines to all our travelers with advice on how they can help preserve the environments they are visiting. Our guides are also trained to uphold this policy. An example of this is our behavior towards waste and ensuring our travelers adopt our green practices such as avoiding bringing materials such as plastic that cause the greater environmental impact. We try to minimize waste as much as possible and are careful to emphasize that clients should not damage or remove pieces from any historical sites they visit.

There is a public recycling center in Georgia, which helps the country to implement modern principles of waste management that include saving resources and getting the economic effect by separating and subsequently recycling waste. Separation corners offer an opportunity for people to take their sorted waste: glass, aluminum, plastic, and paper, and dispose of it in the proper bin. So, we always encourage our tourists to throw their waste in the right place thereby helping the country.

We strongly believe reusable bottles are very important for the health of the planet and always encourage travelers to have them. Georgia is a mountainous country and very rich in spring pure water. We in Georgia drink water from the tap and pour water from mountain springs. Mountain spring water is also drinkable and clean. To be on the safe side we advise travelers to bring drugged or metal filters to be sure water doesn't harm their stomach. This helps to minimize littering and plastic use in the country. Each day of the tour we also provide our travelers with water only filled in glass bottles.

LOCAL ECONOMY

We are sure that our travelers will have a huge impact on the local communities while getting acquainted with their daily lives. This gives both travelers and local people the chance to understand each other's cultural differences. We always encourage our tourists to visit local markets and buy souvenirs and local products from local stores.

We always inform our travelers about local customs and traditions, communication issues, and rules of conduct in the churches. Thus, we minimize the risk of misunderstanding with locals and disrespectful behavior in religious places. When it comes to taking pictures of the people themselves, it is always advisable for our travelers to ask their permission beforehand. Respect their right to privacy if they decline the request.

Our tours include 1 family-hosted lunch in Georgia offering travelers an intimate look at local traditions, family dynamics, and hospitality. Guests can engage directly with family members, observe their customs, and enjoy home-cooked meals, ensuring a truly immersive and enriching experience.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY

Empowering the locals is one of the core fundamentals for which we are seeking new ways to include all the regions: We collaborate with local guides and people and highly appreciate the hard work they are doing.

The places we visit in regions, employ local people, where we can explore the works of craft-artists and specialists. Besides admiring the works, tourists also get chance to buy local products, works and souvenirs presented there.
