Itinerary
After we pick you up from your address, we will take you to our office for the check-in procedure. You will wait a few minutes until your tour starts.
One of the leading eye attractions of this tour will be the Zhinvali Water Reservoir. This beautiful, greenish-colored reservoir is the leading photo stop in this direction and attracts visitors with its color and forested mountain surroundings.
Ananuri Fortress is considered one of the well-preserved fortresses from the late Middle Ages. This fantastic temple and castle are full of Georgian history and culture. Unique stone carvings and spiritual frescoes will be the main targets of interest.
You can try the most typical mountain dishes in a traditional Georgian restaurant in Pasanauri. Taste the most local mountain dishes like Khinkali(Georgian Dumplings).
In Gudauri, you can present and taste different varieties of natural alpine honey. In mountain fields, you can taste different flowers and plants from the slopes of the mountains in this delicious locally-produced honey.
The Friendship Monument of Georgian and Russian People was built in 1983. It is a large, round stone arch and concrete structure overlooking the Devil's Valley in the Caucasus mountains. We can try Glintwine and have some free time for mountain activities like Quadro cycles and snowmobiles.
You will see the highest-located cross-cupola church in Georgia, Gergety Trinity Church. It is one of the most breathtaking and spiritual spots in the entire country. The temple offers fantastic views of the town of Stephantsminda and the sights of Mount Kazbegi, which is elevated at 5047 meters.

Traveler reviews
Ilia was great guide and...
Ilia was great guide and it was a great way to experience Kazbegi in one day! We got to make lots of interesting stops along the way.
Fantastic and scenic tour!
Our guide, Niko, was fantastic! He kept the facts short and interesting. The route was very well planned, and there wasn't a single boring moment throughout the tour. Great value for money and an absolute must-do if you're visiting Tbilisi. P.S. Bring a jacket 😁
Great tour!
This was a great tour—smooth from start to finish. Our guide Saba was so friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable—would definitely recommend!
Excellent day tours!
We had such a great day on our tour to Gudauri & Kazbegi! Since there were 21 people in total, the Gamarjoba Georgia Tours staff split us into two groups. We joined the smaller group of six, which was guided by Oko (Omar) and driven by Mr. Mishar (we hope we spelled his name correctly).Oko—whom we fondly called Omar—was a highly efficient guide. He provided just the right amount of detail at every destination, managed our time perfectly, and was very observant of everyone's needs. He even offered to share his phone's hotspot so a guest could make an urgent overseas call on the way to Kazbegi. Oko's patience and warm smile made everyone feel comfortable and well cared for.Mr. Mishar was incredibly skillful on the mountain roads. Even though Oko warned us ahead of time about the bumpy terrain, we barely felt a thing. We were also very pleased with the lunch at the restaurant chosen by the tour company; the food was delicious and the pricing was reasonable.Since we wanted to end our tour in Kazbegi to stay for three nights of hiking, Oko and Mr. Mishar took great care of our backpacks and dropped us off at a convenient spot to reach our hotel.We highly recommend Gamarjoba Georgia Tours! They keep their guests well-informed prior to the trip, the meeting and departure processes are cleverly organized, the vehicles are excellent, the drivers are experienced, and the guides are true experts in their field.
Amazing kazbegi day tour with Gabriel
Gabriel is a 10/10 guide who deserve a shout-out for his amazing tour to Kazbegi from Tbilisi. I really enjoyed the tour and learning more about Georgia/Sakartvelo from a local guide who loves and knows his country. This tour is well organized and the car is very comfortable. You get to see amazing beautiful mountain and taste different flavors of chacha and honey. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Tbilisi.
