Day 1 - Arrival

Day 2 - Tbilisi City Tour

Tbilisi - sulfur baths - Metekhi
Our trip starts with the city tour around Tbilisi. First, we visit Simon Janashia’s museum – one of the history museums of the city. It keeps rich archaeological and ethnographic collections of different eras. Then we have a pleasant walk around Jabaridze Tower which is known due to the small angel that “lives” under the tower roof and every hour knocks the bell with his small hammer and returns to his house flapping his wings. We continue to the Bridge of Peace designed by a well-known Italian architect. Next stop is at Tamada Monument (toast-master) – an enlarged copy of the historic sculpture found in Vani. Tamada plays a very important role during all Georgian feasts and parties. The trip leads us to the historical district of Metekhi, where we visit the Assumption Church located on the picturesque hill. We reach Narikala fortress by a cable car and go down on foot to the waterfall. After the excursion to the sulfuric baths square, we reach Mtatsminda mount by funicular to enjoy the breathtaking view.

My husband and I spent a week with Tazo. Awesome region and an awesome tour. Everything was perfect. Svaneti is definitely the most beautiful region of Georgia. The views and the sights there are definitely the best and if you like hikes just go there. The food was good; the hikes were good. What about guide, he is an excellent - speaks perfect English, knows the country inside out and is always punctual and happy to accommodate his client's wishes. We would not have had such a comprehensive insider's glimpse into Georgia without his guiding. Thank you Tazo - it was a pleasure to spend time with you. We enjoyed the trip a lot. I definitely recommend the tour to Svaneti.

Amazing tour, professional guide and driver, well planned tour days, diversity of destinations! All in one for a perfect trip. It was the best decision to take Upper Svaneti tour, cause mountainous parts of Georgia are really wonderful and picturesque! Visiting your country one time is not enough. The last time I traveled to Georgia was with my friend, but now I am planning to bring my husband and let him visit your country too! Hope to meet you again soon.
