The Experience
Georgia unfolds through a rhythm of old streets, sacred landscapes and generous tables. One moment, you are walking beneath the carved balconies of Tbilisi; the next, you are standing above the meeting of two rivers at Jvari Monastery or entering the spiritual heart of ancient Mtskheta. Beyond the capital, mountain roads lead to fortified churches, vineyard valleys and the welcoming towns of Kakheti.
Along the way, Georgia reveals itself through the traditions that continue to shape everyday life—shared meals, family winemaking, heartfelt toasts and stories passed between generations. This is a journey that brings together ancient kingdoms, dramatic landscapes and living culture, offering not only an introduction to Georgia’s landmarks but a deeper sense of its warmth, resilience and identity.

Day by Day
The first chapter begins in Georgia’s timeless capital..
Arrive in Tbilisi, Georgia’s captivating capital, a city where centuries-old architecture, vibrant neighborhoods and diverse cultural influences come together along the banks of the Mtkvari River. Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to your hotel, with time to settle in and begin absorbing the atmosphere of this remarkable Caucasian city. In the evening, gather for a welcome dinner at a carefully selected local restaurant, your first introduction to Georgian cuisine and the traditions that make hospitality such an important part of the culture. Enjoy authentic flavours, regional specialities and the famous Georgian tradition of the supra—a shared table filled with food, stories and heartfelt toasts.
A capital of contrasts, conversations and centuries of stories.
Begin in the historic heart of the city with a visit to Metekhi Church, dramatically positioned above the Mtkvari River, before wandering through the atmospheric district of Abanotubani. Known for its distinctive Sulphur bathhouses and colorful architecture. A scenic cable car ride carries you above the rooftops to the ancient Narikala Fortress, where panoramic views reveal the city's unique tapestry of tiled domes, church spires and modern skylines. After time at leisure for lunch, continue your exploration on foot through the Old Town. Visit the historic Sioni Cathedral and the Anchiskhati Basilica, the oldest surviving church in Tbilisi, before strolling along the elegant Rustaveli Avenue, the city's cultural and political heart. Cross the striking Bridge of Peace, before arriving at Freedom Square, a landmark that reflects Georgia's evolving history and independent spirit.
Where Georgia’s heritage is written in stone..
Leaving the capital behind, today's journey traces the origins of Georgian Christianity through the country's most treasured historic landmarks. Begin at the UNESCO-listed Jvari Monastery, perched high above the dramatic meeting point of the Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers. Continue to nearby Mtskheta, Georgia's ancient capital and spiritual center. Wander through its charming streets before visiting the magnificent Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, one of the country's most revered places of worship and a masterpiece of medieval architecture. Following lunch, travel along part of the historic Georgian Military Highway to the beautifully preserved Ananuri Fortress. Overlooking the turquoise waters of the Zhinvali Reservoir, this former stronghold combines defensive towers, ornate churches and spectacular mountain scenery. Return to Tbilisi in the late afternoon, leaving the evening free to explore the city.
Discover the town that gave the world one of history’s most debated figures.
Today's journey offers a fascinating contrast between Georgia's Soviet legacy and its vibrant modern identity. Travel west to Gori, birthplace of Joseph Stalin, where a visit to the Stalin Museum provides insight into one of the twentieth century's most influential—and controversial—historical figures. Explore the preserved house where he was born, the museum's extensive collection and the armoured railway carriage used during the Second World War. After lunch, return to Tbilisi and board the historic Tbilisi Funicular, ascending to Mtatsminda Park high above the city. The journey itself is an experience, revealing ever-expanding views across the rooftops, river valleys, and surrounding hills. Spend the balance of the afternoon at leisure in Tbilisi.
Raise a glass to Georgia’s oldest ritual.
Leave the capital behind as you journey east into Kakheti, Georgia's celebrated wine region. Framed by the snow-capped peaks of the Greater Caucasus and the fertile Alazani Valley, this is a landscape where viticulture has flourished for over 8,000 years. Your first stop is the peaceful Bodbe Monastery, one of Georgia's most important pilgrimage sites. Set amid beautifully maintained gardens overlooking the valley below, the monastery is closely associated with Saint Nino, who introduced Christianity to Georgia in the 4th century. Continue to the charming hilltop town of Sighnaghi, often referred to as the City of Love. Encircled by historic defensive walls, its cobbled streets, colourful houses and intricately carved wooden balconies invite a leisurely stroll. Take time to browse local galleries and artisan boutiques while enjoying sweeping views across the vineyards and mountains. The day culminates with one of Georgia's greatest pleasures—a leisurely lunch accompanied by a wine tasting at a family-owned winery. Discover the country's distinctive winemaking traditions, where ancient techniques using clay qvevri vessels have been preserved for generations and are now recognised by UNESCO as part of the world's Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Tbilisi at your own pace, following the rhythm of Georgia’s capital.
Today is yours to experience Tbilisi in a more personal way. Wander through the atmospheric lanes of the Old Town, admire the colorful wooden balconies, explore hidden courtyards, and discover the layers of history that have shaped this remarkable city over centuries.
Return home carrying the warmth of the Caucasus.
Enjoy a relaxed breakfast before your group transfer to Tbilisi International Airport. As your journey comes to an end, depart with lasting memories of the remarkable country shaped by ancient civilizations, dramatic landscapes and enduring traditions.
