Genuine reviews of Sakhva Travel on Google and Yandex Maps
Huge thanks to Saba and Timur for making our bachelor party so amazing! Professional and friendly. Everything was perfectly organised, fun and unforgettable. You couldn’t ask for better guides. Highly recommend, 10/10!
I don’t like group tours, so I was very happy to find out that SakhvaTravel can put together a private trip. They chose a route around our wishes, suggested beautiful locations and organised everything without any fuss. Georgia is in my heart now — we will definitely come back.
Saba, our guide and driver, was wonderful. He arrived on time, knows a lot and gave us an unforgettable day.
I want to mention the organisation in particular. Before the trip everything was explained in detail, questions were answered quickly, and they stayed in touch during the trip too. That matters a lot to me, because I don’t like holidays where I have to sort out a hundred organisational issues myself. With SakhvaTravel everything went smoothly.
Questions and answers
Can I visit Uplistsikhe on my own?
Yes, you can visit Uplistsikhe on your own, but we recommend a guide who can tell you in detail about the history and features of this unique place. A guide can also show you hidden corners you might miss.
How much time do I need for the Uplistsikhe excursion?
The Uplistsikhe excursion usually takes a full day, including the drive from Tbilisi, the tour of the cave town and lunch. Plan on 7–8 hours for the whole trip.
Are there age restrictions for the excursion?
The Uplistsikhe excursion suits all ages, but keep in mind that some sections may be difficult for people with limited mobility. Be ready to walk on rocky paths and steps.
How much is the entry and do I need an audio guide?
Entry to Uplistsikhe is ₾7, an audio guide ₾5. But with our guide you don’t need an audio guide: the guide tells the history of the cave town live. Entry is paid on site in lari.
Is it hard to walk around the cave town?
Uplistsikhe is a rock town with uneven stone steps, tunnels and climbs. You need comfortable closed-toe shoes. The plateau is open — it’s hot in summer, so bring water and a hat.
Can I combine Uplistsikhe with Gori?
Yes, Uplistsikhe is 10 km from Gori — they are usually combined in one day: the cave town plus the Stalin Museum and Gori Fortress.
How much is the Gori and Uplistsikhe excursion from Tbilisi?
From ₾155 per person for a group of up to 7. The price includes a comfortable car, a guide and all stops on the route. Entrance tickets (~₾7 Uplistsikhe, ₾15 Stalin Museum) and meals are paid separately.
Is the Stalin Museum in Gori worth visiting?
The museum is controversial — it glorifies more than it criticises. For some it’s an interesting historical site, for others a disputed exhibition. The guide will give you the context and help you form your own opinion. An alternative is to climb Gori Fortress for the panoramic view.
How much time do I need for Uplistsikhe?
We recommend 1.5–2 hours. The site is ~40,000 m² on three levels: Tamar’s Hall, the amphitheatre, the pharmacy, the secret tunnel to the river. Comfortable shoes are a must.
How do I get from Tbilisi to Gori on my own?
A train from Tbilisi railway station (~₾2, 1 hour) or a marshrutka from Didube (~₾5, 1.5 hours). But Uplistsikhe is another 15 km — you’ll need a taxi. A guided tour from ₾155/person includes transfer to all the stops and the story of their history.
Can I combine Gori with Mtskheta?
Yes, Mtskheta is on the way from Tbilisi to Gori. You can add a stop at Jvari and Svetitskhoveli for an extra 1.5 hours. Discuss it with the guide when booking.
How long is the drive from Tbilisi to Batumi?
Pure driving time is about 5–5.5 hours each way (≈370 km). On the one-day tour we add short stops in Gori and Kutaisi, so we reach Batumi around lunchtime and return the same way.
