I have never done such a thing, but I am worried about the fate of the followers...
“And here we are sitting and enjoying our day in Tbilisi. Alone. Because they could not stand it and ran away from our organizers #yourownadventure
(To the motive of a fairy tale about a princess)
Georgia was great
The organization was terrible.

I am writing this because in my lifetime there are many trips organized by myself or through tour operators. And I know that #yowad are arranging the next trip to Georgia with a similar program in February. Poor boys...
And now a few facts for those who are going to join:
1. There was no instructor in our car. Numerous requests to put one of the organizers in our car (“the main ones” traveled three of us in one car) were unsuccessful. When we were stopped at the first traffic police post and the driver said that we were all friends and we were going skiing, and not an organized group, my buttocks cramped.
2. Poorly thought out travel timing.
Crossing the border on December 30 by car took 23 HOURS!!!! Which, in principle, is predictable - the New Year is on the nose. Some of the participants refused to go back by car, which incurred certain financial costs (all took plane tickets from Tbilisi). Why these particular dates were chosen for crossing the border remains a mystery. The organizers also forgot about the fact that it snows in winter. The pass collapsed, so we remained locked in Stepantsminda for 4 long days, where only one cafe and a shop are open in winter. And to stay hungry in Georgia is a crime. We saw every city that we visited in the dark, because due to the late departure (the organizers argued that everyone wants to sleep during the holidays), there was also a late arrival. And in the morning it all happened again. No one!!! We have not seen a single city in its entirety or at least half)
3. The trip took place under the motto "free software".
My favorite) The organizers of #yourownadventure did not give any cultural program and information. How long are the lifts open? Will there be breakfast? We arrive at the place (oooh, about this separately, see paragraph 4) and look for sights and eating places ourselves.
4. Accommodation. All our hotels were located at least 10 km from the center. If for Moscow these are trifles, then in Batumi we already lived beyond Batumi)) even taxi drivers often did not know the address where to deliver us. The organizers refused to take me to the center.
5. Deviations from the program. If the program includes breakfast, it does not mean that it will be. Final dinner with a discussion of the route and reviews-pf, guys, we fed you barbecue on January 2) sightseeing tour of Tbilisi-hire yourself a guide)
6. The fact that three participants fell off already in the middle of the route did not embarrass the organizers)
Perhaps the guys organize trips well (did not check), but they swung at the tours in vain.
