Visit Uplistsikhe, Gori, Jvari, and Mtskheta on a full-day Georgia tour with a guide, lunch option, and strong value from Tbilisi.

“We packed a lot into one day. Our guide Nini was really friendly and knowledgeable, she guided us round all the stops and gave us an insight into Georgian culture, history and language. There was just the right amount of free time at each location. The caves were really impressive and it was brilliant that you were able to walk all amongst all of it (it does involve a bit of a hike / climb so good shoes are a must). Brilliant tour company, communication was first class and everything was organised so well. Great experience!”

“An easy, 5hour tour with a chilled energy and vibe. This tour ticks off a few great sites without a full days worth of your time. Our host on the day Giorgi is up and coming with the particular btour provider. He has a genuine passion for the places he speaks about and very knowledgeable for a younger host. He was joined by Koto, and the synergy between the 2 of them was very good, the complemented each other well”

“Day trip was excellent, the guide (Jimmy) was professional, friendly and made the trip very enjoyable. Had expected only English, he seemed to spend a lot more time speaking to the Russian group. The seats on the bus need to be replaced and the bus had a smell of cigarette smoke, even though the driver did not smoke while we were in the bus, it was not pleasant.”

“Luca the tour guide made this tour the best experience tour that nobody should miss. The visited sites wouldn’t be as pleasant and enriched without Luca”s input about history of every site visited. The transportation was comfortable and the place where we were taken to eat was a plus as well. I highly recommend this tour but always ask for Luca as you’re tour guide, he will make this tour a precious experience.”

Explore Uplistsikhe, Stalin’s Gori museum, and Georgia’s giant Chronicles monument on an affordable guided day trip from Tbilisi.

“Interestingly for me the most memorable part of the tour was the Stalin museum in Gori city. It surprised me that it affected me as well emotionally and thought provoking way too. I felt that the cave visit was rash though and to be honest the whole tour was a bit chaotic. Though the lunch time and the Borjomi visit was bit more relaxed. The tour guide maybe wanted to pass to much information in both Russian and English and the result was everywhere a hurry monologue.”
