What To Expect
Jvari Monastery
This trip is an opportunity to see four important locations in one day. Let’s start with the ancient capital – Mtskheta , where the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral is located – one of the main spiritual places of Georgia. And on the top of the mountain, opposite, rises the Jvari Monastery – from where a picturesque view of the confluence of two rivers and the city opens up. Next we go to Gori , the hometown of Joseph Stalin. There we will visit the Stalin Museum , founded during his lifetime in 1937. The exhibition includes documents, personal belongings and artifacts telling about his life and era. We finish the day in Uplistsikhe , a unique rock-cut city that began to form in the 6th century BC. Here you can see ancient temples, halls, secret passages, wine cellars and even a water supply system. And the surrounding landscapes are a separate pleasure. This journey is filled with history, religion, architecture and views that will stay in your memory for a long time.

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Mtskheta, Jvari Monastery, Gori, and Uplistsikhe. Everything about this tour was enjoyable and perfectly organized. Our tour guide was excellent — very knowledgeable and spoke English extremely well, which made the experience even better and more engaging. He explained the history and culture in a very clear and interesting way. The car was very comfortable, making the whole trip relaxing and pleasant, especially with multiple stops throughout the day. The price was also very reasonable considering the quality of the tour and the hospitality we received. It was truly great value for money. Overall, we had an amazing time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Georgia. It was fun, well-organized, and absolutely worth it!

5.00We traveled with Georgian Travel for a few days coveting Mtskheta-gori . It was a wonderful experience. Giorgi is a punctual and responsible person (unlike what people often think of Georgians), which makes it easy to plan and execute the trip. He is always ready to accommodate your wishes and sudden change of plans. He is an excellent driver with a relaxed style, whether it was in the center of Tbilisi or high in the mountains, so that I wasn't sweating even when on the front seat. I wholeheartedly recommend him as your guide in Georgia.
