Grand Tour of Georgia

16 Days / 15 Nights from £3225/ $4193 per person

Soaring mountains, remote fortresses, sweeping vineyards, incredible cave monasteries and ancient traditions are just a few of the discoveries awaiting you on the Grand Tour of Georgia as you journey through southern Caucasus. This all-encompassing itinerary showcases the best of this immensely diverse emerging Eurasian country. Accompanied by a private guide, you will spend time in the country’s lively capital, Tbilisi, before venturing into the eastern reaches of the spellbinding Kakheti region. Discovering the Caucasus Mountains is a highlight of a holiday to Georgia and the ancient land of Svaneti is home to arguably the country’s most magnificent mountain scenery. Svaneti is a land steeped in history and the beguiling stone towers of the Svans people are one of the region’s most unique and magnificent sights. By way of contrast, the Black Sea city of Batumi is a lively place where 19th-century Russian architecture is juxtaposed with the ultra-modern structures that shape the distinctive city skyline. You will enjoy the relaxed pace of our Grand Tour of Georgia itinerary, with ample time to immerse yourself in the local culture and journey to hidden parts of the Caucasus afforded by the luxury of an extended visit.
