Overview
This is a compact five-day private tour across western Georgia, from Tbilisi to the Black Sea at Batumi. It works well for travelers who want to see more than the capital but don't have time for a long trip. Along the way you visit the hilltop Jvari Monastery and ancient Mtskheta, the rock-cut town of Uplistsikhe and the Stalin Museum in Gori, then Kutaisi with its Gelati and Motsameta monasteries, the underground halls of Prometheus Cave, and Batumi on the coast — before driving back to Tbilisi on the final day. Hikasus Travel handles the transport, hotels, guiding and day-to-day logistics, and because the tour is private the route and pace stay flexible.
