Guide in Tbilisi and across Georgia — Timur Sakhvadze

Sakhva Travel grew out of a personal knowledge of Tbilisi. Our founder Timur grew up here in the '90s — he watched the city change, heard stories from grandmothers in the old courtyards, and knows where the best wine is made and where you can have a heart-to-heart with locals. Our routes are not Lonely Planet — they are a map of a living city.

There is a café in Avlabari with no sign — they make the best khinkali in town. It is not in any guidebook. Or a courtyard on Kote Abkhazi with Soviet-era graffiti that most tourists walk straight past. These are exactly the places we show our guests.

For Sakhva Travel, tourism is more than a job. When we see someone look at Mount Kazbek and catch their breath, we know we are doing everything right. In three years we have run more than 500 tours for tourists, expats, digital nomads and families with children.

We only work in small groups — up to 7 people. No coach tours with 40 strangers. Just personal attention and a flexible route built around you. We speak English and Russian, so there is no language barrier for any guest.

We reply on WhatsApp within 15 minutes. A 10% deposit when booking, the rest on the day of the tour in cash or by card. Free cancellation up to 48 hours before, no questions asked.

Bad weather in Kazbegi? We will reschedule for free. Want to add the sulphur baths or visit a family restaurant with no menu? No problem — the route is flexible. We don't follow a rigid script: if you want to stay 20 minutes longer at a viewpoint, we will.

Before every tour we send a detailed route plan and advice on clothing and footwear. On the day we meet you at the agreed place — no taxi rides to a meeting point at 6 a.m.

We work daily from 08:00 to 22:00, including holidays and weekends. In three years not a single tour has fallen through because of us.

A guided tour of Tbilisi costs from ₾135 per person in a small group; a private tour is ₾545 for 1–2 people. The price covers the whole route: guide, plan, restaurant tips and help along the way. 10% deposit, the rest on the day of the tour.

For day trips — Kazbegi, Kakheti, Mtskheta — we travel in a comfortable minivan. We pick you up from your hotel or apartment in Tbilisi and bring you back, with no taxis and no hunting for a meeting point.

The car seats up to 7 people: enough room for a family with children or a group of friends. On the way the guide tells you about the places, and we stop for photos wherever you like.

In the city we explore on foot: the most interesting parts of Old Tbilisi are in courtyards and lanes no car can reach.
