A full week in Georgia allows you to experience the complete range of this small country's astonishing variety — ancient mountain monasteries, the world's oldest wine tradition, a subtropical Black Sea coast, cave cities, and one of the Caucasus's most charming capitals. Seven days is the sweet spot: enough time to go deep without feeling rushed.
Days 1–2: Tbilisi and Mtskheta. Old Tbilisi, Narikala fortress, Abanotubani sulphur bath district, Metekhi Church, Jvari Monastery, Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, Georgian food tour.
Days 3–4: Kazbegi. Georgian Military Highway, Ananuri fortress, Gudauri ski resort, Jvari Pass (2,395 m). Gergeti Trinity Church hike. Overnight in the mountains.
Day 5: Kakheti. Sighnaghi — the "City of Love", Bodbe Monastery, qvevri wine tasting at a family winery.
Day 6: Batumi or Svaneti (your choice). Flight or road transfer.
Day 7: Free day, souvenirs, airport transfer.

Why Choose This Tour
Seven days is ideal. Tbilisi (2 days) + Kazbegi + Kakheti + Gori/Uplistsikhe + free day + Mtskheta/Jvari. Groups stay at 7 people maximum, so you set the pace, ask every question, and stop wherever you want. No 40-person buses.
Over 3 years I have led more than 500 tours and know what travellers actually care about: punctuality, real information rather than scripts, and willingness to change the route on the fly. Rating 4.9 on Google Maps (140 reviews). WhatsApp replies in 10–15 minutes. Many guests return for a second or third tour — that's the best compliment.
Timur's Tip
A week is ideal. If you want the sea, we take the overnight train to Batumi on Day 6 — it saves a full day and cuts the cost. If you prefer mountains, Svaneti towers and the Chalaati glacier are unlike anything else in the Caucasus. Tell me your priority and I'll build the best version of this itinerary for you.
