Cultural and Heritage Tours in Georgia

12 tours

Georgia has been Christian since the fourth century and inhabited far longer, and the buildings show it: cathedrals that predate most of Europe’s, monasteries cut into bare rock, and whole towns carved out of hillsides. These tours are the ones weighted towards that history. Between them they cover Mtskheta and Svetitskhoveli, the hilltop Jvari monastery, the cave town at Uplistsikhe, Gelati and Motsameta near Kutaisi, and the desert monastery at David Gareja near the Azerbaijani border. Most pair the sites with the everyday side of the country — a market, a family winery, a long lunch — because that is usually what people remember. Lengths run from three days to two weeks.
