Classic Georgia

The Classic Georgia tour provides an extended introduction to one of Europe’s most exciting 'new' destinations with a focus on culture. Fast emerging as the off-the-beaten-track country that everyone is talking about, the Republic of Georgia welcomes visitors with open arms, and richly rewards with its stunning scenery, fascinating history, and mouthwatering culinary traditions. On this privately guided and chauffeured tour of Georgia you’ll discover the charms of Tbilisi before travelling east to scenic Kakheti, Georgia’s premier wine-making region. As well as endless vineyards, this part of Georgia is home to some astonishingly picturesque monasteries and churches: similarly, in Kazbegi, where the backdrop of the mighty Caucasus Mountains adds to their grandeur and mystique. A visit to the eye-opening Stalin Museum in Goris will shed light on Georgia’s more recent history; while exploring the tunnels and caves of medieval Vardzia in the bucolic southern province of Meskheti, will bring focus to the high watermark of Georgian culture and power in the middle ages. Throughout, you will witness some of the most glorious scenery in the Caucasus as you journey across the country in search of remote villages, medieval fortresses and rock-cut monastic cities.
