We had an amazing time discovering ancient sites, especially the stunning view from the hilltop monastery. The mix of history and breathtaking landscapes kept us engaged, though a little more time at each stop would have made it even better.

We had a wonderful day immersing ourselves in the rich history and stunning landscapes just outside the capital. The highlight for us was wandering through the ancient cave city, where the views were simply breathtaking and the stories behind each passage brought the past to life. Stopping at the impressive monastery on the hill was another memorable moment, offering both tranquility and a chance to soak in the culture. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, ensuring we felt connected to each site we explored. One small suggestion would be to include a little more time for lunch, as we found ourselves rushed at the end. Overall, it was a fantastic way to spend a day together, and we left with a deeper appreciation for the region’s heritage.

We had an incredible day uncovering the rich history around Tbilisi, visiting Mtskheta and climbing up to the stunning Jvari Monastery. Standing on the ridge, we felt a deep connection to the past while taking in the breathtaking views. Exploring the ancient rock-hewn city of Uplistsikhe was a highlight, where we wandered through the intricate caves and imagined life there centuries ago. Gori was fascinating too, especially the museum dedicated to Stalin, which provided an unexpected but intriguing look into his life. Our guide was knowledgeable and kept the pace comfortable, though we wished there had been a bit more time at Uplistsikhe to soak in the atmosphere. Overall, this day trip was a memorable way to experience Georgia’s historic gems.
