Caucasus & Central Asia Expert
Georgia, Armenia, and the Silk Road — in her blood.
Nino was born and raised in Tbilisi, in a family that treated food, wine and hospitality as a serious art form. Growing up in Georgia shaped everything about how she approaches travel — with warmth, generosity and an insistence that you leave feeling like you've made friends, not just visited a country.
She has been a trusted Tourio partner in the Caucasus for nearly a decade, guiding groups through Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as further east into Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
Nino speaks four languages fluently and has a remarkable gift for bridging cultures — helping Western travellers understand the context and complexity of a region that is often misunderstood or overlooked entirely.
Away from tours, she is a passionate advocate for Georgian cuisine and has been known to turn a simple dinner into a three-hour feast that guests talk about for years.
