Gori: Uplistsikhe, Gori, and Mtskheta Day Tour

Explore Georgia's ancient past on a full-day tour. Discover the rock-hewn city of Uplistsikhe, visit the Stalin Museum, and see the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mtskheta.
Step into Georgia’s ancient past on a full-day journey through the historic heart of the country, where legends, faith, and carved stone cities reveal centuries of remarkable history. Start with comfortable pick up from Gori. Explore the Kartli region, home to some of Georgia’s most significant cultural and archaeological landmarks.

Begin at Uplistsikhe Cave Town, an extraordinary rock-hewn city carved into sandstone cliffs. Dating back to the Early Iron Age, this ancient settlement once thrived as a major political and religious center. Walk through tunnels, halls, and chambers shaped directly from rock, and learn how pagan and early Christian traditions coexisted here. After exploring the site, enjoy free time for lunch and sample traditional Georgian cuisine in the region.

Next, continue to Gori, a historic town best known as the birthplace of Joseph Stalin. You may choose to stroll through the town independently or visit the Stalin Museum, which preserves its original Soviet-era atmosphere. The museum complex includes Stalin’s childhood home and his personal railway carriage, offering insight into one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century.

The journey then leads to Georgia’s former capital, Mtskheta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the country’s most sacred places. Visit the hilltop Jvari Monastery, a 6th-century masterpiece overlooking the dramatic meeting point of the Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers. From here, enjoy panoramic views that perfectly capture Georgia’s spiritual landscape.

Your final stop is Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, one of the most important churches in Georgia. Revered as the burial place of Christ’s robe, this cathedral has stood at the center of Georgian religious life for centuries and remains a powerful symbol of national identity.
