Georgia–Armenia Tour

One trip, two ancient countries. The Georgia–Armenia tour combines the best of both Caucasus nations: the mountains and wine of Georgia, the ancient temples and unique history of Armenia.

The crossing between Georgia and Armenia takes 30–60 minutes at the Sadakhlo–Bagravan border checkpoint. Most nationalities (EU, US, UK, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and others) need no visa for either country.

Georgia and Armenia: Two Countries, One Journey

Few itineraries offer as much diversity as a Georgia–Armenia tour. In 7–10 days you experience: the Caucasus mountains, ancient cave monasteries, UNESCO World Heritage sites, two distinct wine cultures (Georgian qvevri amber wine and Armenian brandy), and the warm hospitality that defines the region.

The border crossing at Sadakhlo–Bagravan is the main land route between the two countries. At peak times it takes 60 minutes, off-peak 30 minutes. Timur handles the logistics on both sides.
