Our private day trips

If you already feel you've made the most of the Georgian capital and want to leave the city behind for a day and delve into its surroundings, we recommend booking a private tour from Tbilisi. These tours last between 3 and 9 hours and include hotel pickup, private vehicle transportation and an English-speaking guide. Choose from the following excursions to discover the best of Georgia:

Mtskheta Tour (3.5 hours)

After picking you up from your hotel in Tbilisi, we'll head northwest towards Mtskheta. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, this city is one of the oldest in Georgia.

Stopping in front of the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, you'll hear how the impressive church relates to the robe of Jesus Christ. We'll also visit the Jvari Monastery, where we'll enjoy spectacular views of the city and the crossing of the Mtkvari and Aragvi Rivers from its hilltop vantage point.

This tour follows a similar itinerary to our group Mtskheta Day Trip from Tbilisi.

Availability: this tour is available every day throughout the entire year.

Mtskheta, Uplistsikhe & Gori Tour (8 hours)

Visit three of Georgia's most important cities in one day on this private tour. After picking you up from your hotel, we'll head to Mtskheta, the former capital of the country and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In Mtskheta, the religious heart of the country, we'll visit Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, where it's said that the robe of Jesus Christ is buried - find out if this is true on the day of the tour! We'll then head to the hilltop Jvari Monastery for unparalleled views over the city. 

Our next stop will be Uplistsikhe, an area that has been called the Georgian Cappadocia. Arriving in this ancient city carved from the rock, we'll get to see around 500 caves dating from the Iron Age to the late Middle Ages. 

Afterwards, you'll have an hour of free time to have lunch at your leisure here. Or if you prefer you can have lunch at our next stop: Gori, a small Georgian city that was destroyed by an earthquake in 1920.

This tour follows a similar itinerary to our group Mtskheta, Uplistsikhe & Gori Day Trip from Tbilisi.

Availability: this tour is available every day throughout the entire year.

Ananuri, Gudauri & Kazbegi Tour (9 hours)

Having picked you up from your hotel in Tbilisi, we'll set off on the Georgian Military Road, a historic highway that crosses through the Caucasus mountain range and offers spectacular views of the surrounding landscapes.

Our first stop will be the Ananuri castle complex, one of the most impressive monuments in Georgia, not just for its fascinating history and architecture but for the beauty of its surrounding landscapes too. We'll learn all about the fortress as we admire the view.

From there we'll go to Kazbegi, the main city of the region, before arriving at the church of Gergeti, dedicated to the Holy Trinity. If time permits, we'll be able to admire one of the highest glaciers in the Caucasus, Mount Kazbegi, which towers 5,047 meters (16,558 feet) tall. After the visit, we return to the village, where you'll have 1 hour of free time for lunch. In the afternoon, we'll return to Tbilisi.

This tour follows a similar itinerary to our group Kazbegi & Ananuri Castle Day Trip.

Availability: this tour is available every day between April 20 and October 20.

Kakheti Tour & Wine Tasting (8 hours)

If you can't imagine anything better than a glass of wine in a beautiful location, this is the tour for you. The Kakheti region is well known for its extensive vineyards, and we'll take you to Signagi, one of the loveliest towns in the area, to visit a local winery.

In the winery, we'll have the opportunity to taste the best-known Georgian wines and learn how they're produced. What's more, we'll get to taste "chacha", a typical local vodka. As well as sampling the area's top beverages, we'll enjoy a delicious lunch of bread, cheese, roasted meat, and vegetable salad.

Finally, we'll make a brief stop in Telavi, the region's main city, before getting back on the road to return to Tbilisi, crossing the Gombori Pass.

This tour follows a similar itinerary to our group Kakheti Guided Tour & Wine Tasting from Tbilisi.
