Timur's Tip
The route is adapted throughout: minimal uphill walking, rest stops every 1.5–2 hours, air-conditioning in the vehicle. Mtskheta combined with the sulphur baths is the ideal combination for senior visitors. The thermal waters at 37–40°C are genuinely beneficial for joints and circulation — and they are deeply relaxing after a half-day of sightseeing.
Why Seniors Choose This Tour
