Description

Set out from Tbilisi for an unforgettable day exploring Georgia’s rich history and breathtaking landscapes. Your journey begins at Uplistsikhe, an ancient rock-hewn city where pagan and Christian architecture blend in a network of caves dating back to the Early Iron Age.

Walk through Uplistsikhe’s winding tunnels and marvel at temples carved directly into the cliffs. With your guide, you’ll uncover stories from centuries past and enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding Kartli region, making this stop a highlight for history and photography lovers alike.

After exploring Uplistsikhe, enjoy a break for lunch where you can sample delicious local cuisine. The adventure continues in Gori, the birthplace of Joseph Stalin. Here, you can choose to explore the town at your own pace or visit the Stalin Museum, which houses his original home and railway carriage.

Next, travel to Mtskheta, Georgia’s ancient capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the stunning Jvari Monastery perched above the river confluence, then step inside the revered Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, believed to be the burial site of Christ’s robe and one of the country’s most important churches.

This full-day tour lasts about ten hours and includes comfortable transportation and guided visits to Uplistsikhe, Jvari Monastery, and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral. Tours are available in English, Russian, and Georgian. Secure your spot now to experience the wonders of Georgia’s past in a single, unforgettable day.
