Why do tourists choose Sakhva Travel?

Tourists

Sakhva Travel is a private tour service in Tbilisi, founded by Timur in 2023. Timur was born in Tbilisi, grew up in the Caucasus, and returned home 10 years ago — not as a tourist, but for good. Sakhva Travel grew out of this personal knowledge of the city.

We show Georgia the way a local sees it: not from a checklist of sights, but in layers. First the facades, then the courtyards, then the people. We know when to head to Kazbegi so the mountains are cloud-free. We know which courtyard in the Old Town makes the best homemade wine. We know the unmarked cafe where locals eat khinkali at 7am. You can't Google this — it comes with years.

Since 2023, over 500 tourists have traveled with Sakhva Travel, and no route has ever been repeated — because every group is different.

Why us

Why choose a private tour over a tour agency?

Four things that make a private tour worth it.

🚌Bus Tour 🗺️Self-guided
Sakhva
🤝With Timur
Waiting at the fountain for 40 strangers to gather Taxi ₾180, driver doesn't speak English Timur at your hotel. Coffee in the car and the day's route
Guide speaks Georgian, then translates Driving on the highway. Nobody told you there's a scenic road "Let me show you a spot tourists never reach"
"We leave in 10 minutes." No time to eat Roadside cafe — the only one you could find Lunch at Manana's. You make khinkali yourself, wine from qvevri
Queue at Gergeti: 60 people ahead of you Gergeti Trinity closed on Mondays Timur knows everyone. You go in while others wait outside
Bus heads home. Mt Kazbek in clouds — not your day Wanted to see the lake — didn't know where it was We wait for the clouds to clear. We'll go higher
Home. Exhausted by the crowd Home. Lost half the day Home. 200 photos, secret location contacts, memories for life

The price includes a comfortable car transfer from your hotel in central Tbilisi, English-speaking guide Timur for the whole day, and entrance fees to all sites. Departure at 08:00, return to Tbilisi around 22:00 — 14 hours total. Maximum 7 people per group: no buses, no strangers. For a group of four, the cost is just ₾32 per person.

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before — no questions asked, no penalties. For Kazbegi: if weather is poor on the day, Timur will suggest rescheduling at no charge. You can change the date as many times as needed.
Best months are May–June and September–October: green slopes, clear skies, Mt. Kazbek fully visible. July–August are fine but can be hot. Winter is magical — snow-covered peaks and almost no tourists. We operate year-round. Tbilisi–Kazbegi is 157 km, about 2.5–3 hours.

A private tour with Sakhva Travel means maximum 7 people, personal guide Timur, a route adapted to your interests. No buses, no strangers. Four people on Kazbegi = ₾32 per person — cheaper than any bus tour. The quality is incomparable: you stop where you want, photograph as long as you want, eat where you choose.
Georgia is one of the safest countries for tourists. Street crime is minimal, locals are welcoming. All tourist routes use paved roads with good infrastructure. In 3+ years and 500+ tours, Sakhva Travel has had zero incidents. Georgia ranks highly in global safety indexes.
For Kazbegi — guide Timur monitors weather days ahead. If clouds cover the mountains, he'll contact you and offer free rescheduling. For Tbilisi and Kakheti — rain is not a problem: sulfur baths, covered markets, wine cellars work great in any weather.

Yes — that's the main advantage of a private tour. Want to linger at a waterfall or visit a village you spotted from the window? Just say the word. The route is flexible and the time is yours.
Guide Timur recommends 2-3 tried restaurants: one near Ananuri Fortress (khinkali with reservoir views), one in Stepantsminda (authentic cuisine without tourist markups). Average lunch: 25-40 GEL per person.
