★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 2,396 reviews · 10 hours · from $29Our pick

Uplistsikhe cave town, Gori’s Stalin Museum, and UNESCO Mtskheta sights in one 10-hour day tour from Tbilisi, guided in English.

“We packed a lot into one day. Our guide Nini was really friendly and knowledgeable, she guided us round all the stops and gave us an insight into Georgian culture, history and language. There was just the right amount of free time at each location. The caves were really impressive and it was brilliant that you were able to walk all amongst all of it (it does involve a bit of a hike / climb so good shoes are a must). Brilliant tour company, communication was first class and everything was organised so well. Great experience!”

Tbilisi day trip to Uplistsikhe cave town, Gori and Stalin sights, then UNESCO Mtskheta churches, with a guide and round-trip transport.

“All the sights were amazing, and it wasnt too long on the bus. I opted for free time in Gori (went to the fortress) instead of the set lunch. Those that went to the lunch said it was delicious and plentiful! The guide Shoti did a grand job herding our group and keeping us on schedule. Recommended this tour!”

A special congratulations to Kate on her first learning tour — she did a wonderful job, was attentive and enthusiastic, and it was great to see her confidence growing during the day. Wishing her all the very best as she continues her journey. Thank you both for making the experience memorable!”

“Never join a tour with this company, USHBA Travel. I have never encountered such a disrespectful, despicable, self-conscious, intolerant, and rude tour guide in my life (I don't think he's even a guide; anyone passing by on the street could have done a better job). Despite my repeated warnings during the journey, the minibus driver showed no regard for the lives of other passengers on the tour, leading to a heated argument later on. The information provided about the places we visited was sparse and superficial, and the guide's elementary level of English made it even worse. The man assigned to us as a tour guide was disrespectful and rude,…”

14.Mtskheta – Jvari. Full City Tour on Hop On Hop Off Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 91 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $40

Hop on a comfortable Tbilisi bus for Old Town, Tsminda Sameba, then Jvari and Mtskheta. Bilingual commentary and easy city orientation.

“A pretty good deal, I thought, since the route covered not just the city of Tbilisi but also Mtskheta and Jvari. However, we were not given snacks as listed only bottled water was offered and although our guide did his best, it was clearly taxing for him to conduct the tour in both Russian and English. I do wish they had separated the two groups so that we didn't have to wait around for our translation and so that we had more time in some of the places rather than waiting for the guide to speak to us in our language.”

“Omg, the guide (Diana; Russian-speaking guide) is one of the best guides I've ever seen in my life ❤️❤️❤️ Humour, charm, charisma, wisdom in a beatiful scenery of Mtskheta full of history! Beside the tour itself, she "intoduced" us to the Georgian culture, winery, tamada traditions, as well as she shared some life wisdoms! I can't believe it was just 4 hours, as I've learnt so much!!! I will remember this tour for my whole life.”
