Georgia · TOUR REVIEWS
A fortnight or a long weekend, the problem is the same: one small country holding a wine region, a 5,000-metre range and two seas’ worth of history. The 15 below are the days that earn their slot, priced and timed, with the full catalogue underneath.

Review of a $29 Caucasus Mountains day tour from Tbilisi to Jinvali, Ananuri, Gudauri, Kazbegi, and Gergeti Trinity Church.
“Best tour and guide. Very comfortable ride and well planned and managed. TOKO guide is very energetic and entertaining and he took care of us and everyone during the entire trip.”
Review of the $29 Kazbegi and Gudauri day trip from Tbilisi, with Ananuri Fortress, Gergeti Church, mountain views, lunch, and practical tips.
“The price was nice for two people, and although it was a bit of a long day, it wasn't too bad. I was worried I would be too much time in the bus but it was manageable and the stops were cool. Particualrly the water reservoir and the russian friend monument. The other stops were okay to be honest, however, if you are looking to get out of Tbilisi for a day during your vacation, this would be the trip. Great guide, they pick and drop you off in the city center, and you get to learn more about the history of the country”
Review of a $29 day trip from Tbilisi to Uplistsikhe, Gori, Jvari, and Mtskheta, with practical advice on costs, walking, lunch, and timing.
“A nicely varied whole day trip, taking in two churches, an ancient cave city and the Stalin museum in Gori. Our guide, Tota, was excellent. He demonstrated his broad knowledge of all the sites. Our itinerary was switched around as Svetitskhoveli Cathedral was predicted to be very busy in the afternoon, which was very helpful. I recommend taking up the optional lunch as it was very close to the Stalin museum and gave us the chance to sample Georgian food.”
Review of Tbilisi’s four-hour walking tour with the Mother of Georgia cable car, Old Town churches, a bakery treat, and practical booking tips.

Explore Kakheti from Tbilisi with 10 Georgian wine tastings, Bodbe Monastery, Signagi’s cobbled streets, and scenic Alazani Valley views.
“We had an amazing wine tour with our guide Sofia! She taught us all about the history of Georgian wine-making and the strong culture of food and drink here. Sofia was full of energy and so welcoming and friendly from the very start of the day. Thanks to her wonderfully friendly and open nature, and personal anecdotes, the whole tour bus felt like we were old friends by the end of the day! The tour took us through the famed Kakheti vineyards, the Bodbe Monastery and the stunning Sighnaghi City of Love - with plenty of wine and stops for snacks in between! Some of the wine was so good,…”

Review of the Gudauri and Kazbegi day trip from Tbilisi, with Ananuri, mountain views, a 4WD church visit, food tips, and practical advice.
“The sights in the mountains were spectacular. Our guide, Mari, was super enthusiastic and informative. A long day, but we'll worth it.”
See Tbilisi by night on a lively walking tour with Old Town sights, Georgian wine, local stories, and a memorable boat ride.
“Manuka, Freddie and Fantastic were awesome! They educated us on Georgia's history and I felt I learned a few things! At the start of the tour, the group were offered the chance to redo the tour at another date since it was raining. We all decided to continue as it was only lightly raining....that did not last! The guys switched up the tour a bit and we did the wine tasting earlier to get out of the heavy rain (a very generous tasting!) Once the rain eased up we continued on our tour. Unfortunately, we could not do the boat ride due to the weather but Freddy organised a voucher…”
Explore Martvili Canyon and Prometheus Cave on a long but rewarding day trip from Tbilisi, with boat rides, waterfalls, and optional zip-lining.
“The tour was well paced and gave us more than enough time to eat and explore! We had terrible weather for visiting the canyon (the boats stop when there’s strong rain) but our tour guide went above and beyond to make sure we were able to enjoy the canyon. Plus he was the day’s photographer making sure everyone got the photos they wanted to commemorate the trip. Huge huge shout out to Nika for making the day so enjoyable and keeping the energy up against the odds!”
Review of a private Tbilisi to Kazbegi and Gudauri tour, with Ananuri, Gergeti Church, mountain views, pricing, tips, and drawbacks.
“a lifetime kind of memory! Thank you enjoyed it. Long journey but worth it. Would recommend. Highlight of our trip”
See Georgia’s colorful Rainbow Mountains, Kapatadze Lake, and David Gareja monastery on a guided seven-hour trip from Tbilisi.
“Fifo was a great guide. The experience was good overall. Both rainbow mountains and David Gareja monastery are at the same location. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that only 3 out of 12 monasteries are in Georgia while the other 9 are in azerbaijan which means you cannot visit them. Fifo made a picturesque pitstop at a lake which was nice which is why I'm rating it 4.”
Review of the Diamond Bridge and Dashbashi Canyon day trip from Tbilisi, with costs, hiking tips, activities, transport, and honest value advice.
“Nino, our tour guide was amazing! She took lots of pictures of our group and sent them to us via WhatsApp. She made the whole trip fun by getting everyone involved In conversations and learning interesting things about each other during our two hour drive to the our destination. Great way to break the ice! By the end of the tour everyone was comfortable with each other like old friends. I was lucky my group happened to be awesome people and very easy to get along with. The Diamond Bridge, the Zip line Bike ride, and the Canyon Swing were all super fun and a must for outdoor enthusiasts when…”
