What Our Clients Say

OMG - the best ski school ever, and I've been to quite a few! Had private lessons myself (Taylor u r the best), had my kid learn to ski from a to z (Dali, u the man), had my daughter continue to evolve as a skier (Jaymo and cristina thx!) - all with great professionalism and in perfect English. highly recommended!!!

Sophie's snowboarding lessons were great. Learned so much and she was extremely patient :-)

Had an absolutely brilliant time. The organisation by Taylor and his team was flawless, from the moment we touched down in Georgia to being dropped off at the airport again, and everything in between. The skiing lessons provided by Zane were great fun and I really felt my skiing go to the next level. The price was great and felt like real value. Will hopefully be back next year!

Choses and Louis were absolutely awesome! Had the most amazing time and will definitely come back!

louis was the best instructor i could ask for. i did 3 days of skiing with him and it was the best 3 days i've had in a long time. Thank you louis!

Eva and Chris were very patient with my three teenagers for the past two days. Very happy with my kid's progress in snowboarding. Great experience with everyone I interacted with at Vagabond

This is our second year coming back to snowboard with Chris. My kids went from not knowing anything to being able to snowboard down the mountain on their own. He was very patient and personable. Taylor and the whole staff are pleasant to deal with and I definitely recommend them

My wife and I had 4 days of lessons with Levi and he is an outstanding instructor for beginner to advanced levels. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Gudari

As good as it gets. Kids were super happy with the ski instructors. No doubt will be coming back and skiing with them again

My 2nd time in 2 years to New Gudauri and with Vagabond Adventures. This year we had Dali as our ski instructor and Chris as our snow boarding instructor and as always the Vagabond instructors are outstanding and patient. Overall great instructors. I would highly recommend them if you're looking to get into either snow boarding or skiing. 5 all round

Vagabond is by far the best option in Gudauri for any of your ski improvement or adventure needs. Taylor and the team are professional, have substantial experience, fun and able to help any level of skier. Our group of thirteen used them in a variety of ways. We had six kids under the age of seven split into two groups (two beginner and four intermediate) all of which came out of the week with great improvements in capabilities and confidence. We also had adults taking half day sessions to help critique and improve. And I did one backcountry excursion that took me into untouched snow and incredible scenery. Taylor is extremely safe conducted avalanche testing in key areas as we progressed. Their standards and professionalism is at a global level and likely the best in Georgia. A big thanks to Taylor and the team!

I have use Vagabond for the last 4 years both for myself and now for my daughter. Their instructors are great and their ability to accommodate your requests are second to none. I highly recommend Taylor and his team to anyone wanting to learn or to fine tune their skills for the more advanced skier

My son George learnt to snowboard with Levi in January 2020, March 2022 and this past week Feb 2023. We cannot rate vagabond adventures highly enough. They are professional, knowledgable and incredibly warm and friendly. Levi is the only person in the world I trust to take my son down the harder slopes. My son loves snowboarding now and we will hopefully return to Gudauri every year!

We spent a week in Gudauri and our daughter enjoyed a lot the mountains, skiing, progressing with Chris. Chiara and the rest of the team wer very supportive to make this holiday unforgettable

Had private lessons with my two young sons. Both first time skiers. They loved it!!! Would highly recommend. Our instructor Matthieu was excellent

We had the most amazing time with Chaira and Eva - both were very knowledgeable and extremely experienced with our young children. We came as beginners and my daughter was skiing on blue routes by our 3rd day. Thank you to Chaira and Eva and to Vagabond for a fantastic trip! We will be back!

Our second time in Gudauri with the excellent Vagabond ski school. We have only good things to say as their coaches are always amazing. We keep building a list of coaches we wish to see again over our next trip only to meet new ones that are added to the list. Louis and Chiara did an amazing job with our children. They had fun and learned a lot over the week, and most importantly we trusted them to be in good hands. Coaches are friendly, knowledgeable and speak English. I also like the way they somehow always seem to pair everyone with the most suitable coach. Well done. Thank you and see you soon

Alessio loved the last part of the day, when he was going fast. Thank you so much for looking after my son

Very experienced team! Jay was with me for some advanced snowboard lessons and we had a good time with improvements in carving and some on piste tricks. Looking forward to come back when the snow conditions allow us for some free riding lessons

We went skiing for a few days and needed instructors to brush up on my rusty skills and teach my daughter how to ski. We had a great time with Levi and Eva. Levi was very fun and patient in teaching Layla the joy of skiing and Eva was awesome too. Within a very short time she was able to refresh my knowledge and gave me a lot of confidence. Both instructors are totally empathetic and professional. We can only recommend them. Thanks a million for everything. You guys are great. J & L

One of the best ski schools in Gudauri for first timers. Our instructor, Eto, was amazing and patient in teaching us the basics of skiing. Highly recommend

Amazing customer service from the vagabond team, they were very understanding and accommodating, to further assist with transportation and ski gear too. I am a complete beginner and the instructor Vojtech Zachoval was amazing. Explained everything clearly, and helped me enjoy my ski experience. Thank you. Will definitely return again

We booked four group lessons with Vagabond, and despite the lack of snow, they were great. Levi, our instructor, was very flexible, always looking for the best snow for the group (literally driving the length and breadth of the mountain), adapting lesson times to wait for better conditions and coaching each individual in a different style, according to their needs. I would highly recommend Vagabond to anyone skiing in Georgia

Had a great time skiing with Vagabond. They were extremely professional and prompt throughout my interactions from start to finish. I would especially like to mention Kacka my ski instructor, who was extremely helpful and attentive and has really helped my improve my ski techniques. And besides being an amazing help on the slopes she was extremely warm and friendly and a truly nice person, immediately making me feel comfortable. Would highly recommend both Vagabond and Kacka for all the prospective skiers. Yash

The experience was super smooth and great, started off with inquiries via WhatsApp in which they replied quick. After booking they immediately sent me a confirmation and arranged me a guide. Communication was clear and easy. Eva was super great and had a great personality, she was helping us skii for the first time. Superb English speaker and overall wonderful vibe. Vagabond is a great place to start if you're on the fence hiring randoms

Honestly this was the best experience we could have asked for. Besides that everything was just so easy and organized, Our instructor Kahti was incredible! He knew exactly how to guide us to get us where we needed to be! He had the best tips and tricks to assist me getting things right on the snowboard as someone with low confidence. thanks to him, I had the best time! Thank you Kahti, Taylor and team! We will definitely be back!

Great customer service and amazing advice. Thank you. The guys know the mountain and are quick to respond to questions even to advanced skiers

Loved every bit of it. The whole process was nice & seamless. My instructor was quite friendly and reassuring whenever I felt a bit scared. By the end of the first session I felt comfortable with the basics of skiing. Would come back for more lessons for sure! Highly recommend them

Taylor and the team from Vagabond were better than I could have asked for! They really helped me overcome my fears and truly shred the gnar. See ya next time!

Так как в этом году катальный сезон открылся позже (по понятным всем причинам хе-хе), я все же успела провести крутую каталку с командой Vagabond. Спасибо прекрасным инструкторам, которые поставили меня на сноуборд! Я в полном восторге, прийду еще. Также ребята ставят на лыжи! Рекомендую! :)

Great school set up by certified ski and snowboard enthusiasts from around the world. Awesome lessons with great attention to detail, and a have-fun attitude. Had the best lesson ever with Eva.. highly recommended!

Simply the best ski school in gudauri........my family and I have used vagabond ski school for the last 3 years and they have been faultless - the booking experience, through Taylor Ferguson (the owner) has always been super efficient and personal. The coaching experience for all of my family, with all of his English speaking highly qualified ski coaches, has been amazing every single time. My youngest started with them when she was 4 years old, having never skiied before, whilst I took some more advanced lessons this year so they cater for all levels which is great for us. I fell 100% secure leaving my daughters with their ski coaches for the day which is super important and allows my wife and I to relax and do our own skiing. All in all incredible - Gudauri is a great skiing location - if it wasn't for Taylor and his crew we'd probably try other locations......as long as they are still there we'll keep coming back for more - that is how good they are

From the first email Vagabond ski school Have been nothing but amazing. Following through with every request! We had a few different requirements for our group and they were very helpful and flexible with all our requirements. Communication given prior to arrival was second to none. The ski school itself was amazing! Our 2 kids had a blast and the interaction/feedback given by the team was nothing but amazing! The instructors were the best we could have wished for!! Martin, Taylor and Noah were a favorite with my 2! We will be back next year!! Great instructors, who get kids

Vagabond ski instructors are the best! Coming from all over the world and having various travel and adventure experiences they can give you advices not only about Georgia and skiing but also about any other places. They are all very competent, speak excellent English and make you feel safe on the slopes

We spent one week in Gudauri this winter and we got classes for our 8 year old sons and for ourselves (ski and snowboard). Levi was our instructor and he couldn't have been better.....he's an excellent teacher and very good to children too... He's super experienced and very knowledgable of the slopes, the resort and the risks....we felt very safe and made a lot of progress. It's the only sky school with perfect English speaking teachers, which makes a big difference to communicate and they're the most skilled and trained.... Taylor was super responsive in whatsapp and super helpful with everything... Cannot recommend more

A very professional group of young people. They are very good in communicating with a 5 year old and helping them enjoy the experience to the max. Special thanks to Dalibor, our ski instructor and Taylor, for all the arrangements despite the weather conditions. Hope to see you next year again guys!

The one and only sophisticated ski- and snowboard-school! Highly competent and passionate instructors! Customized services, lessons for all needs and for each level! I had an unforgettable, authentic experience! Thanks for all the fun we had and for the skills I got tought! <3

Great instructors, spoke perfect English and really helpful. Awesome with kids and freeride!
