Day 1: Arrival and First Impressions

Your Georgia adventure begins with a free transfer from Tbilisi Airport to your hotel, which is a relief after a flight. The hotel, a 4-star property, provides a comfortable base for your week. Once checked in, a welcome drink sets a friendly tone, and in the evening, a walk around Marjanishvili Square and Aghmashenebeli Avenue introduces you to the city’s lively street life. You might enjoy dinner at a local Georgian restaurant, where you’ll taste plenty of fresh bread, khachapuri, and perhaps a glass of local wine.

Day 2: Tbilisi’s Highlights

Start with breakfast at your hotel, then head out with your guide, Natalia, or your designated guide. We loved the way she explained the history and stories behind Narikala Fortress, getting us up the hill via a cable car for sweeping views of the city. Walking through Old Tbilisi, you’ll encounter colorful balconies, narrow cobbled streets, and lively cafés.

Key sights include the Sulfur Baths, where you can see the tradition of Georgian wellness, the Legvtakhevi Waterfall, and Meidan Square, buzzing with life. The Bridge of Peace and Rike Park showcase modern Georgia’s blend of old and new. Lunch at a traditional Georgian restaurant is a highlight, with hearty dishes like kebab, khinkali, and pomegranate salads.

In the evening, options include wine tasting or a dinner show—great ways to experience Georgian hospitality and vibrant culture.

Day 3: Mtskheta — A UNESCO Heritage Site

A short 30-minute drive takes you to Mtskheta, one of Georgia’s most sacred towns, home to Svetitskhoveli Cathedral and Jvari Monastery. We loved the way the guide explained the significance of these sites—it’s like walking through a living history book. The panoramic views of the Aragvi River are unforgettable. The walk along the river promenade allows a moment to breathe amid centuries-old stonework.

Enjoy an authentic lunch with scenic views before returning to Tbilisi. If you’re feeling relaxed, an optional spa evening is available—perfect for unwinding after busy days.

Day 4: Mountain Majesty in Kazbegi

This is the tour’s most breathtaking day. The drive along the Georgian Military Highway offers spectacular mountain views, with photo stops at Ananuri Fortress and Zhinvali Reservoir. The real highlight is a visit to Gergeti Trinity Church, perched above Stepantsminda and accessible via a rugged 4×4 ride. The feeling of standing in front of this iconic church with the high peaks behind is truly inspiring.

We found the day long but worth every minute for the scenery and fresh mountain air. Lunch in Stepantsminda is simple but hearty, and the drive back offers plenty of opportunities for photos.

History buffs will appreciate visiting Gori to see the Stalin Museum, located in Stalin’s birthplace. It’s a surprisingly detailed insight into the complex figure of Georgia’s most infamous son. Continue to Uplistsikhe, an ancient rock-hewn town carved into the mountainside. Walking through its tunnels and chambers gives a real sense of what life was like centuries ago.

Lunch is included, and the day ends with you back in Tbilisi, perhaps reflecting on how Georgia layers history from the earliest times to the Soviet era.

The day is yours to enjoy at a relaxed pace. Many travelers love soaking in a traditional sulfur bath, a centuries-old tradition, which leaves you feeling refreshed. The Dry Bridge Market is perfect for antiques and souvenirs, while Galleria Tbilisi or East Point malls offer modern shopping options.

We recommend strolling Rustaveli Avenue, the city’s main artery, lined with cafes, theaters, and shops. Optional activities include wine tastings or cooking classes, adding more local flavor.

Your last day starts with a leisurely breakfast and perhaps a walk through Vera Park or Mtatsminda Park, both offering great views and a relaxed atmosphere.
