10-Day Akhaltsikhe, Rabati & Batumi Tour is a private, 10-day journey through Tbilisi · Kutaisi · Batumi · Kakheti · Sighnaghi · Gudauri, run by our own guides and drivers rather than subcontracted to a local agency. Mountains, monasteries and eight thousand years of winemaking, two hours from the Gulf.
You travel as your own group, no strangers, no fixed coach departure. The itinerary below is our recommended shape; a consultant can move a day, add a night or change a hotel before you commit to anything.
Pace: Several long transfer days and full sightseeing days throughout.
The outline of this trip. Your consultant sends the full day-by-day programme, with timings, once your booking is confirmed.
Arrive Tbilisi, then the Tbilisi City Tour (full day).
A full day to fall for Tbilisi. It begins high above the city among the bronze pillars of the Chronicles of Georgia, each taller than a house, and finishes on Mtatsminda with the whole capital spread below. In between come the sulphur-bath quarter where legend says the city was founded, an ancient fortress, a waterfall tucked into the old town, and the lanes where Tbilisi goes out at night. Curious about a sulphur bath or the cable car? Ask us.
Overnight in TbilisiKakheti & Sighnaghi Wine Tour.
Georgia has made wine for eight thousand years, and Kakheti is its heartland, home of qvevri, the clay jars buried in the ground to age it. The day leads to Sighnaghi, a hill town of terracotta roofs and walls long enough to walk, looking across the Alazani Valley to the snowline of the Caucasus. On the way: the monastery where St Nino, who brought Christianity to Georgia, is buried, and a traditional Kakhetian winery. A tasting is easy to add.
Overnight in TbilisiFree day in Tbilisi. Overnight Tbilisi.
Overnight in TbilisiGudauri & Kazbegi Tour.
The Georgian Military Highway at its most dramatic. The road climbs past a fortress mirrored in a turquoise reservoir, over the Cross Pass at almost 2,400 metres, and down into Stepantsminda beneath the glacier of Mount Kazbek. Above the town, Gergeti Trinity Church stands alone on its ridge at 2,170 metres, the picture on countless postcards of Georgia. The day reaches all the way to the gorge at the Russian border.
Overnight in TbilisiGori & Mtskheta Heritage Tour.
Three thousand years in a single day. Uplistsikhe, a town carved into the rock long before Christianity reached Georgia, comes first; then Gori, its fortress, and the museum to the town's most controversial son, Joseph Stalin. The day closes in Mtskheta, Georgia's ancient capital, at a hilltop monastery and a cathedral nearly a thousand years old.
Overnight in TbilisiAkhaltsikhe & Rabati Fortress Tour.
Rabati Castle looks like a film set: a mosque, a minaret, a church and a palace inside one ring of golden stone walls above Akhaltsikhe. It sums up this borderland, ruled in turn by Georgian princes and Ottoman pashas. Walk the ramparts and gardens, step into the museum, and take in the whole town from the viewpoint.
Overnight in TbilisiKutaisi Nature Tour.
Western Georgia, underground and on the water. Prometheus Cave winds for more than a kilometre past stalactites lit in colour, and Martvili Canyon cuts a turquoise path through limestone where the Dadiani princes once bathed. It is a long drive, and worth every kilometre. Ask us about a boat ride through the cave or along the canyon.
Overnight in KutaisiBatumi Black Sea Tour.
Georgia's Black Sea city pairs a seven-kilometre seafront promenade with some of the boldest buildings in the region. The moving steel lovers of the Ali and Nino statue turn toward each other every evening, and just south of town Gonio Fortress has guarded this coast since Roman times. A yacht, the dolphins or a swim? Ask us.
Overnight in BatumiBatumi Black Sea Tour (day 2, more time there). Overnight Tbilisi.
Overnight in TbilisiTbilisi City Tour (half day).
Tbilisi reveals itself in layers. The golden domes of Holy Trinity Cathedral rise over the city, then the old town draws you down toward the Mtkvari River, past a cliff-top church that has watched the water for more than seven hundred years and a glass footbridge that looks borrowed from the future. The day ends on ramparts that have guarded Tbilisi for sixteen centuries, with one more surprise hidden in a gorge right in the middle of the city.
DepartureChoose your hotel level: the price above and the group table update to match. Prefer something different, or a family room? A consultant can reprice it.
A private tour splits the vehicle, the guide and the driver across your group, so the per-person price falls as the group grows. These are live figures for this exact itinerary.

“We had a fantastic five-day trip to Georgia, thanks to Travo's great arrangements for our itinerary and accommodations. The experience was seamless and comfortable for our family. From airport pickup to drop-off, everything went smoothly. A special thanks to our tour guide, Mr. Vaishnav, whose knowledge about Georgia's history and culture, along with his friendly demeanor, made each location more interesting and enjoyable.”
“Had a 5 days trip to Georgia. Was awesome & enjoyed a lot. I had chosen private trip, which gives flexibility for the timing & tourist spots which I need to visit. Tour guides Basil & Arfan was so nice & helpful. They made us so comfortable and safe, especially when travelling with small baby. We highly recommend Travo team if your travel destination is Georgia”
