Journey through Georgia’s rich history on a full-day guided tour from Tbilisi, exploring the ancient cave town of Uplistsikhe, the historic city of Gori, and the spiritual heart of Mtskheta. This immersive experience reveals the country’s pagan roots, Christian heritage, and Soviet legacy in a single day.
Your adventure begins with convenient hotel pickup in Tbilisi, followed by a scenic drive to Uplistsikhe. Marvel at the remarkable caves and tunnels carved into the rock, where remnants of Georgia’s pre-Christian culture still linger in the ancient stone.
Next, visit Gori, the birthplace of Joseph Stalin. Here, you’ll step inside the grand Soviet-era museum dedicated to his life and legacy, offering a fascinating glimpse into 20th-century history. Entrance fees to the museum and Uplistsikhe are not included, so bring some cash for tickets.
Afterwards, travel to Mtskheta, Georgia’s former capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discover the awe-inspiring Svetiskhoveli Cathedral and the hilltop Jvari Monastery, where Georgia’s conversion to Christianity began. Modest dress is required when visiting these sacred sites.
Before returning to Tbilisi, enjoy a stop at the so-called Georgian Stonehenge, an impressive and lesser-known monument. With bottled water, an English-speaking guide, and hotel transfers included, this tour is the perfect way to uncover Georgia’s diverse past.
