Summary

Private Georgia Itinerary: Old Towns, Mountains & Wine Tasting

If you want to see Georgia’s best spots in just a few days—old towns, mountain views, wine villages—this private tour covers it all with local insight and flexible options.

What’s the experience like?

First morning, we wandered through Tbilisi’s Old Town—cobblestone lanes twisting past faded wooden balconies and tiny bakeries where the smell of fresh khachapuri drifts out onto the street. Our guide, Giorgi, pointed out the leaning clock tower tucked between art shops. The sulfur baths in Abanotubani steamed quietly in the cool air; you’ll notice locals chatting on the benches outside, towels slung over their shoulders. Later, we took the cable car up to Narikala Fortress. The city spread below us—rooftops, church domes, and the curve of the river. I still remember the breeze up there and how the light hit the golden dome of Sameba Cathedral just before noon.

The next day was all about the mountains. We drove north to Kazbegi—windows down, air getting crisper with every mile. Stopping at the old Soviet monument in Gudauri, you get this wild panorama of green valleys and winding roads. At Gergeti Trinity Church, perched above Stepantsminda, clouds drifted so close it felt like you could touch them. Giorgi shared stories about local shepherds and pointed out wildflowers I’d never seen before.

If you pick the Mtskheta and Borjomi route, expect a mix of ancient and natural wonders. Svetitskhoveli Cathedral’s frescoes are even more impressive up close—there’s a faint scent of beeswax candles inside. Uplistsikhe cave town is a maze of tunnels and rock rooms; it’s easy to imagine traders stopping here centuries ago. In Borjomi Park, we filled our bottles from a mineral spring—honestly, the taste is... unique! Pine trees everywhere and families picnicking on checkered blankets.

Or maybe you’ll choose Kakheti for wine country. Signagi sits high above the Alazani Valley—pastel houses with tiled roofs, grapevines curling along fences. We stopped in Badiauri village for bread straight from a Toneh oven; it was still warm when we tore off pieces to share. At Bodbe Convent, bells chimed softly while pilgrims lit candles inside cool stone walls.
