Testimonials

John’s tour brought us to the perfect intersection of mind-boggling history and awe-inspiring nature. We hiked a desert mountain covered in blue and pink springtime flowers, we stood in quiet reverence of the grave of a millennia-old saint. We stood at the top of the crumbling rampart of an old fortress and contemplated the green valley below, where hundreds of years earlier the farmers of that rich land feared the ever-present threat of raiders. John’s engaging commentary brought the landscape … Read more

I have had the good fortune of traveling all over the world with all sorts of tour groups and guides. This, by far and away, was one of the best and most memorable trips of my life. John and the group members were simply amazing! I am already thinking to myself — how can I get back to Georgia? John thanks for guiding me on this trip! I give it five stars.

Jim W. (Minn., MN)

Our June 2017 Ancient Christianity tour through Georgia and Armenia with John Graham was a moveable feast of history, nature, music, art, food, and wine. An exceptional experience. In addition to the planned sights, John introduced us to out-of-the-way treasures and many treasured people including: A beautiful restaurant in Tbilisi where John and his singer friends serenaded us with traditional Georgian folk music and chant; A personal conversation with the priest of Kvelatsminda monastery, faci… Read more

Christine M. (Greystone Academy)

John was a tremendous resource when the Yale Women’s Slavic Chorus toured Georgia in 2016. He is a careful planner, deep listener, and excellent teacher, eager to share his knowledge and love of Georgia’s culture, music, and landscape. When I started to plan the choir’s tour, he was one of the first people I contacted, and he helped ensure our tour was successful and on budget. John’s suggestions for our tour included the perfect mix of musical workshops, sightseeing, feasting, and time spent re… Read more

Amanda C. (Yale Uni.)

Well, for starters, it was a fabulous tour that surpassed my expectations. You are a wonderful leader, John, and perhaps even without realizing it, you set the tone for a relaxed, informative, and fun experience… If anyone had any issue or problem, you tried to correct it immediately. So, we were all in exceptionally good hands.

Tamara J. (Mercy College)

In May, 2017 I took two private tours with John. We had a full day as he drove up into the mountains to Sachkhere and Chiatura. We visited both churches and important house-museums, as well as enjoyed a delicious lunch in a spectacular location along a stream in Sachkhere. I also enjoyed off-the-beaten-path sites in the Mtskheta area, visiting both a Syrian Orthodox men’s monastery (where Aramaic — the language Jesus spoke – is used), and a small female monastery. Enjoyed a great lunch in Mtskh… Read more

Jan K. (DE, USA)

We went with a group of seven friends on John Graham’s tour “The Cathedrals of Tao.” It was one of the best vacations we have ever had. The nature is unlike anything we have ever seen, the music was a revelation, and we really got to meet the singers. By the end of the tour we were also singing, and it was such fun. John was an outstanding tour guide, always providing the right kind of information, not too much, not too little. Food was excellent. And the churches, monasteries combined with the … Read more

Anna B. (UC Davis)

John Graham, a U.S. citizen, who has lived in Georgia for several years, gave our group the opportunity to see many facets of life in this eastern European nation. He has developed many friendships and we were the beneficiaries, as members of his “Arts and Artisans” tour this May. We visited people’s homes, a school for making icons, a school for making felt and felt products, a village where the women are weaving rugs in the traditional way. John has a doctorate in musicology and the subject of… Read more

Susan S. (NY USA)

It is hard for me to imagine a more pleasant and well-organized way to see Georgia than on one of John’s tours. The combination of interesting sites, well-planned itineraries, great food, and capable guides is outstanding. John’s relaxed style coupled with his thorough knowledge of Georgian culture and history makes every day a learning experience, and his ability to adapt and modify the itinerary when unexpected obstacles arise is not to be underestimated. I can’t recommend these tours highly e… Read more

Mark B. (Library Congress)

John Graham’s deep understanding of Georgian culture, history, geography, and politics combines with his thorough familiarity with life in Georgia today. Add to this a keen sensitivity to those around him, a warm disposition, and superb musicianship, and you have a truly exceptional tour leader who will help you not just learn about this ancient land and its people, but to experience it deeply.
