Tbilisi: Mtskheta, Gori & Uplistsikhe Small-Group Tour

Visit Jvari, Mtskheta, Gori and Uplistsikhe on a small-group tour from Tbilisi, with a Churchkhela Masterclass and optional Georgian cooking experience.
Experience several different chapters of Georgian history and culture on a small-group journey from Tbilisi combining ancient landmarks, medieval architecture, dramatic landscapes, 20th-century history, and hands-on Georgian traditions.

Begin at Jvari Monastery, spectacularly positioned above the meeting point of the Mtkvari and Aragvi Rivers. Enjoy panoramic views across Mtskheta and the surrounding historic landscape before continuing to Mtskheta, Georgia’s ancient capital and one of its most important cultural centers. Walk through the historic town and visit Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, a UNESCO-listed monument and one of the country’s most significant examples of medieval Georgian architecture.

Continue to Gori, where the story moves into a very different period of Georgian history. Visit Gori Fortress and explore the historic surroundings before entering the Stalin Museum, dedicated to the life and legacy of Joseph Stalin, who was born in Gori. Discover museum exhibits and historical context connected with the 20th-century period in Georgia and the former Soviet Union.

The journey then goes much further back in time at Uplistsikhe, an extraordinary ancient rock-hewn settlement. Walk through its carved chambers, tunnels, halls, terraces, and viewpoints while learning how this unusual city developed and functioned over the centuries. Its rocky landscape offers a striking contrast to the historic streets of Mtskheta and Gori.

This experience is not limited to sightseeing.

A traditional Georgian lunch is also available as an optional experience, with dishes varying according to the season and venue.

The small-group format allows for a more personal experience, with a professional guide providing historical information, cultural stories, and practical insights throughout the day. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Tbilisi can be arranged for added convenience.

By combining Jvari and Mtskheta, the historic landmarks of Gori, the Stalin Museum, the remarkable rock-cut world of Uplistsikhe, and hands-on Georgian culinary traditions, this tour offers a varied introduction to central Georgia in one carefully arranged day.
