About this trip

15-Day Borjomi, Bakuriani & Kutaisi Tour is a private, 15-day journey through Tbilisi · Kazbegi · Bakuriani · Kutaisi · Kakheti · Sighnaghi, 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.

Day by day

The outline of this trip. Your consultant sends the full day-by-day programme, with timings, once your booking is confirmed.

  1. Day1

    Arrive in Tbilisi, transfer to your hotel. Overnight Tbilisi.

    Overnight in Tbilisi
  2. Day2

    Tbilisi 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.

    Overnight in Tbilisi
  3. Day3

    Kakheti & 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 Tbilisi
  4. Day4

    Kakheti & Sighnaghi Wine Tour (day 2, more time there). Overnight Tbilisi.

    Overnight in Tbilisi
  5. Day5

    Gudauri & 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 Kazbegi
  6. Day6

    Kazbegi Mountain Tour.

    A day in the high Caucasus. Beyond the Cross Pass, the slopes turn orange and white where mineral springs have painted the rock, and Stepantsminda waits at the foot of Mount Kazbek. The reward is Gergeti Trinity Church, alone on its ridge at 2,170 metres with a glacier behind it. Prefer to walk up, ride a horse or take a 4x4? Tell us how you like your mountains.

    Overnight in Kazbegi
  7. Day7

    Kazbegi Mountain Tour (day 2, more time there). Overnight Kazbegi.

    Overnight in Kazbegi
  8. Day8

    Gori & 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 Tbilisi
  9. Day9

    Free day in Tbilisi. Overnight Tbilisi.

    Overnight in Tbilisi
  10. Day10

    Borjomi & Mtskheta Tour.

    Spring water and sacred stone. Borjomi, the spa town whose salty mineral water is famous across the former Soviet Union, lets you taste it straight from the spring in its old park, then cross a swaying bridge above the river. On the way back, the hilltop Jvari Monastery and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral show why little Mtskheta was Georgia's capital and remains its spiritual home.

    Overnight in Bakuriani
  11. Day11

    Borjomi & Bakuriani Alpine Tour.

    From spa town to ski slopes in one day. Borjomi's wooded park and its mineral spring come first, with views over the town from the hillside above. Then the road climbs into the Lesser Caucasus to Bakuriani, the resort where generations of Georgians learned to ski, and up toward Kokhta for the long views. Summer or snow, ask us what's possible up there.

    Overnight in Bakuriani
  12. Day12

    Kutaisi 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 Kutaisi
  13. Day13

    Kutaisi Nature Tour (day 2, more time there). Overnight Kutaisi.

    Overnight in Kutaisi
  14. Day14

    Borjomi & Mtskheta Tour (day 2, more time there). Overnight Tbilisi.

    Overnight in Tbilisi
  15. Day15

    Free morning, transfer to the airport for departure.

How group size changes the price

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.

Good to know

Visas
It depends on your passport: see visa rules for Georgia, each linked to its government source. We will tell you what we know, but the requirement is yours to check against your own passport.
Best time to go
May–June and September–October. We run this trip outside those months too, prices and conditions change, so ask.
Getting there
International flights are not included. Most travellers fly into Tbilisi; we meet you at the airport.
Confirming
The price you see is real, but it is a quotation until a consultant checks hotel and guide availability for your dates, normally within 24 hours.

Questions we get asked

Is this a group tour with other people?

No. Every trip on this site is private: your group, your vehicle, your guide, your dates. Nobody else joins you.

Can the itinerary be changed?

Yes. This is our recommended shape for 15 days, not a fixed product. Add a night, drop a day trip, change a hotel tier, a consultant reprices it before you commit.

Is the price per person or total?

Prices show per person based on two people sharing a double room, with the total alongside. Solo travellers and larger groups price differently, the table above shows how.

When do I pay?

Nothing is taken through this website. A consultant confirms availability, sends a written quote with the payment schedule, and only then do you decide.

What if the weather closes a mountain road?

It happens, mostly outside the months above. We offer the nearest equivalent we can arrange and explain any difference in cost, either way.

“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”

“Choosing Travo as our travel partner was the best decision for Georgia Trip. They provided us with a customised package and was executed very well. Eventhough there was a small confusion in the beginning, they just went beyond our expectations during the entire trip. Its a group of youngsters with a great vision to provide best travel experience in Georgia.”
