What To Expect
Jvari Church
Our tour starts from Jvari Monastery ancient temple dates back to the 6th century nearby the ancient capital Mtskheta, located on the top of a high mountain, from where picturesque views of the neighborhood open, at the intersection of stormy waters of the Aragvi and Kura rivers. The temple attracts thousands of tourists because of its architecture, location and historical value. The name of the church is translated from Georgian as “the cross” and has its own history wich we will tell you there.
Mtskheta
Next, we continue to the ancient capital of Georgia — Mtskheta, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mtskheta has been inhabited for more than 2,600 years and once served as the capital of the early Georgian Kingdom of Iberia. From the parking area, we will walk to the historical center of Mtskheta, passing through its charming narrow streets filled with souvenir shops, wine tastings, and traditional Georgian sweets. The highlight of our visit will be the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, the burial site of Christ’s Robe and one of the most sacred and revered places in Georgia.

5.00We had a wonderful experience exploring Jvari and Mtskheta with George. He was not only knowledgeable and engaging but also made the entire tour fun and memorable. His way of sharing history and stories kept us interested throughout. We started the journey with him as our guide, but by the end, it truly felt like we had gained a friend. The views from top of Jvari is beautiful and the visits to all the monasteries are so enriching and refreshing. The handmade wine ice cream recommended by George is the best you can find in Tbilisi. This tour was a perfect start to our travel in Georgia. Highly recommended!

5.00We had an excellent tour with George! He was incredibly knowledgeable, and we ended up having fascinating conversations about history, ancient civilizations, politics, and much more. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting all three sites — each one was impressive and rich in historical significance. The tour was well-paced and never felt rushed. George managed the timing perfectly, giving us plenty of free time while still providing insightful and engaging commentary at each stop. A truly memorable experience!
Great Tour
