I am French and originally from the hinterland of Nice. Since my Caucasian wanderings in 2003, I have been passionate about the mountain ethnic groups of these little-known regions and more particularly that of the Tush, the last semi-nomads of Georgia. Adventurous and organized, I know well all the routes, manage all the expeditions and am your guide. I speak French, English, German, Georgian, a tad of Russian and Spanish.

about provider

Ça faisait un an que j'attendais cette escapade et je n'ai pas été déçue ! Bienvenue en Touchetie, un coin de montagne exceptionnel, avec des paysages de moyenne et haute altitude, sauvages et préservés. Les chevaux sont super, à la fois costauds, gentils et prêts à affronter tous les terrains. Audrey, notre guide, est vraiment top, elle partage généreusement ses connaissances sur les chevaux et sur cette région de Géorgie. J'espère vraiment pouvoir la revoir quand elle reviendra en France ! Si vous êtes partants pour une aventure combinant haute montagne et équitation, n'hésitez pas !

about provider

Début juillet, j'ai eu l'occasion de partir en une superbe excursion dans la belle région de la Touchétie. Nous avons exploré à cheval les montagnes sauvages, sillonnant entre crêtes et vallées, toujours émerveillés par les paysages époustouflants. Notre groupe a été parfaitement encadré du début à la fin, dans une atmosphère conviviale et authentique. C'était un séjour idéal pour se déconnecter et se plonger dans la nature la plus belle qui soit. Je recommande vivement de découvrir la Géorgie avec notre guide Audrey et ses fantastiques chevaux dans la région du Caucase.

Wow, what an amazing adventure!! For 9 days, we went on a riding trip through the Tusheti region of the Caucasus mountains, completely self sufficient. It was with Audrey, and let me tell you, it was something else! We explored tiny villages that you can only reach by horse or by foot. Then we delved even deeper into the Tusheti, crossing mountain passes and wandering into valleys where only a handful of shepherds and lucky folks like us, guided by Audrey, ever venture. The scenery with all those wildflowers and mountains was just breathtaking. And each campsite felt more perfect than the last. The mix of hiking and riding was spot on. If you're up for a challenging adventure in the mountains and you're in good shape, you'll absolutely love this ride. You gotta be nimble on those steep slopes and uneven ground, but that's part of the thrill! Audrey has been living amongst the Tush shepherds for years, and she really looks out for the local people. You can tell they adore her. Her positive attitude, enthusiasm and kindness really make the whole experience special. And her horses? They're like seasoned pros, handling every kind of terrain like champs. I feel incredibly lucky to have been a part of this, and I can't recommend it enough. Thanks for showing me the real Tusheti, Audrey!! ❤️
