Itinerary
Your Georgian adventure begins as you arrive at Tbilisi International Airport, where you will be warmly greeted by our representative and transferred to your hotel in the heart of the capital. After checking in, the remainder of the day is yours to relax and acclimate, or perhaps take a gentle stroll to get your first taste of the city's unique atmosphere. You'll spend your first night in comfortable accommodation in Tbilisi.
After breakfast, you will embark on a comprehensive exploration of Tbilisi's historical and cultural wonders. Begin at the 13th-century Metekhi Church, which offers a stunning vantage point over the Mtkvari River, before wandering through Rike Park and crossing the futuristic Bridge of Peace. A thrilling cable car ride will lift you to the ancient Narikala Fortress, where panoramic city views await. From here, descend to the charming district of Abanotubani to see the Leghvtakhevi Waterfall and the famous sulfur bathhouses. Take a funicular up to Mtatsminda Park for more vistas before driving down the grand Rustaveli Avenue. The day concludes with a visit to the imposing Chronicles of Georgia monument, standing proudly near the Tbilisi Sea. Overnight in Tbilisi.
Today, you’ll journey along the iconic Georgian Military Highway into the majestic Caucasus Mountains. Your first stop is at the serene Jinvali Reservoir for a photo opportunity, followed by a tour of the picturesque Ananuri Fortress, a 17th-century castle overlooking the Aragvi River. You'll then ascend to the Gudauri Panorama, home to the "Friendship Monument," which provides a spectacular vista over the deep valleys and snowy peaks. In the town of Kazbegi (Stepantsminda), you'll switch to a local 4x4 vehicle for a dramatic ascent to the Gergeti Trinity Church, perched at an altitude of 2170 meters with the formidable Mount Kazbek looming in the background. After this high-altitude experience, you will be driven back to your hotel in Tbilisi for the evening.
Following breakfast, you will travel to Georgia's premier wine region, Kakheti. Your destination is the romantic hilltop town of Sighnaghi, famously known as the "City of Love." Here, you can walk along the preserved city walls, soak in the breathtaking views over the vast Alazani Valley, and explore the charming cobblestone streets lined with wine shops and cafes. The tour continues with a visit to the Bodbe Monastery, a significant pilgrimage site and the final resting place of Saint Nino, who brought Christianity to Georgia. You will then have free time to enjoy an optional wine tasting or a traditional lunch at a local Kakhetian house before driving back to Tbilisi for your final night.
Enjoy one last Georgian breakfast at your hotel before checking out. At the scheduled time, a private transfer will take you to Tbilisi International Airport for your departure flight, bringing your memorable journey through Georgia to a close.
