Georgia Tours in the Caucasus, Planned by a Local Team

Georgia is a country in the South Caucasus, on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, where Europe meets Asia. It borders Russia to the north, Turkey and Armenia to the south, and Azerbaijan to the east. The capital is Tbilisi. Many travelers search for trips to Georgia, Europe, to separate it from the US state of Georgia, which is why these are often called Georgia country tours.

For a first visit, the 11-day Georgia Authentic Tour covers Tbilisi, Mtskheta, Kazbegi, Kakheti, and the west of the country at a comfortable pace. With less time, the 7-day itinerary covers the main highlights. The Georgia Wine and Food Tour suits travelers focused on Kakheti, and the luxury tour adds boutique hotels and private tastings. All run as Georgia small group tours on fixed dates, or privately on request.

Our Georgia tour packages range from about €1,000 per person for seven days to about €2,400 for an 11-day luxury tour. A 17-day Georgia and Armenia tour costs more. The price depends on length, hotel category, season, and whether you join a group or travel privately. Early bookings on some departures are discounted, and each tour page lists the current price. Georgia holiday packages with private transport cost more per person.

May, June, September, and October suit most travelers. Late spring brings green valleys and mild weather, and September and October bring the grape harvest in Kakheti with cooler days for sightseeing. July and August are the best months for the high mountains of Kazbegi and Svaneti, but Tbilisi is hot in the afternoons. These months suit most Georgia holidays, whether you focus on wine, culture, or hiking.

Seven days is enough to cover Tbilisi, Mtskheta, the Kazbegi mountains, and the Kakheti wine region. Ten to eleven days adds western Georgia, including Kutaisi and cave cities such as Uplistsikhe, without rushing. Two weeks or more lets you add Svaneti or combine Georgia with Armenia, which most of our travelers do when they have the time. Most of our Georgia tours run 7 to 11 days.

Yes, for most visitors. Tbilisi has low rates of violent crime, and the Old Town is comfortable to walk around in the evening. The city has seen periodic political demonstrations in recent years, usually near Parliament on Rustaveli Avenue, so avoid large gatherings. Check your government’s latest travel advice before booking holidays to Georgia, and your guide will keep you updated on the ground. We plan all Georgia tour packages around current advice.

Citizens of the US, UK, EU, Australia, and many other countries can visit Georgia without a visa for up to one year. Some nationalities need an e-visa, which you apply for online before travel. Visa rules are the same whether you travel independently or on one of our Georgia country tours. Entry rules can change, so check the official Georgian government guidance for your passport before you book flights or Georgia vacation packages.

Daily costs in Georgia are moderate by European standards. A city lunch costs around €10 to €15, dinner with wine around €20 to €30, and taxis in Tbilisi are inexpensive. Georgia escorted tours cost more than independent travel because they include hotels, a private or small group vehicle, a guide, entrance fees, and most meals and tastings. Our Georgia group tours keep the cost per person lower than private trips.

Yes, and most of our travelers do. The two countries share a land border, and the drive from Tbilisi to northern Armenia takes a few hours. Our 17-day Georgia and Armenia tour covers both at a comfortable pace, and any of our escorted tours to Georgia can be extended into Armenia. Azerbaijan can also be added for a full Caucasus route.
