About this tour

Georgia, from east to west.

Nine days gives you time to see Georgia without rushing from one stop to the next. Start in Tbilisi, take day trips to Kazbegi and Kakheti, then travel west through Vardzia and Rabati to Batumi and Kutaisi.

An English-speaking driver-guide and a comfortable vehicle stay with you throughout the journey, so you can simply enjoy the changing landscapes along the way.

You’ll stay in carefully chosen hotels with breakfast. One night is especially memorable: inside the Rabati Castle complex itself — within the fortress, not just somewhere nearby.
