Day 2 - Tbilisi and Mtskheta city tour
In the morning after breakfast our guide and driver will pick you up from the hotel.
Our tour starts with old tbilisi walking tour. As we traverse through Rustaveli Avenue, Heroes Square, Dry Bridge, and Orbeliani Square, you'll get to explore various landmarks such as the flower market and remnants of the old city wall near Baratashvili Bridge.
Look out for the old bronze man illuminating the lamp near the ruined entrance of the citadel. Finding this signifies our arrival at the entrance of Kala, the inner town. We'll then turn towards the Anchiskhati Basilica, one of the oldest buildings in this area. Adjacent to it is the iconic falling tower of Gabriadze Puppet Theater, where, at noon or 5:00 PM, you might witness the dolls coming out to ring the sounds of the popular song "Tbiliso."
Take in the surroundings — two-storey wooden balcony residential houses with inner yards and cobbled streets provide the feeling of walking on the edge of two cultures, Europe and Asia.
Our journey continues to the pedestrian glass bridge over the River Mtkvari—an amazing spot for capturing picturesque scenes. Crossing the bridge leads us to Rike Park and the aerial cable car. The 5 or 8-seater cabins elevate us to the 4th-century fortress Narikala, offering a stunning view of the former royal districts, now transformed into the National Botanical Garden. Ottoman-period bathhouses surround the square, making it a popular tourist site.
After having lunch in Tbilisi we will drive to Mtskheta - ancient capital of Georgia. First stop is Jvari Monastery. Drive to the hill top - breathtaking panoramic view, stone masterpiece of early Christian architecture. After that we will walk in the ancient city and visit Svetitkhoveli cathedral where most Georgian kings are buried.
After the tour we will have dinner in the most iconic “Salobie” which has been part of Mtsketa’s history for more than 61 years now.
After having dinner we will directly drive you back to hotel.

Day 3 - Wine region, Kakheti tour
In the early morning, we will depart Tbilisi and travel to Kakheti, Georgia’s renowned wine region.
Our first stop will be in Badiauri, where you will taste freshly baked Georgian bread and local cheese while learning about the traditional bread-baking process.
We will then continue to Telavi, the historic capital of the Kakheti region, known for its cultural heritage and charming atmosphere.
After exploring Telavi, we will visit the Tsinandali Estate, the former residence and birthplace of Aleksandre Chavchavadze, one of Georgia’s most prominent 19th-century poets and public figures. The estate is surrounded by beautiful gardens where the plants were brought from all over the word back in the 19th century and is closely connected to Georgia’s winemaking history.
Later, we will enjoy a traditional dinner at a local family home, accompanied by authentic Georgian dishes and locally produced wine.
In the evening, we will return to Tbilisi.

The tour begins in the morning, when your guide will meet you at the hotel. From Tbilisi, we will travel north along the scenic Georgian Military Highway, surrounded by the impressive landscapes of the Greater Caucasus.
Our first stop will be Ananuri Fortress, a historic 16th–17th-century complex overlooking the beautiful Zhinvali Reservoir.
We will then continue toward Gudauri, making several scenic stops along the way, including the Friendship Monument, Jvari Pass at 2,300 meters above sea level, and the colorful Travertine Valley.
After arriving in Stepantsminda, we will enjoy lunch at a local family café, where you can taste traditional mountain cuisine, including homemade Georgian dumplings with meat or vegetarian fillings.
