Planning a tour to Georgia from Kazan in 2026 is entirely doable. With a connection through Istanbul, Dubai or Yerevan you reach Tbilisi in a single day of travel — and from there a whole country opens up: the Kazbegi mountains, kvevri wine in Kakheti, medieval Tbilisi and the sulfur baths. From there, a country awaits where in a single trip you can see the Kazbegi mountains, taste kvevri wine in Kakheti, stroll the medieval streets of Tbilisi and soak in the sulfur baths — all at a budget that will surprise even seasoned travellers. A self-planned trip with a private tour costs 25–35% less than a package tour from a travel agency, and delivers incomparably richer experiences.
