Genuine reviews of Sakhva Travel on Google and Yandex Maps
We were in Georgia in early July and booked all our excursions here. The heat was infernal, but they took good care of us: early departures, water in the car, air conditioning. In Kazbegi we made it up before everything was covered in clouds, and in Kakheti they took us to a winery without crowds. The guides tell their stories in a lively way, not from a script — you can see they love what they do
Huge thanks to our guide Timur for an amazing walk in Mtskheta. Timur didn’t just recite facts — he brought history to life: Mtskheta seemed to open up before our eyes and became vivid and close. At the same time Timur didn’t overload us with dates, but focused on the most interesting…
It turned out to be not at all what we expected. We wanted a day tour from Tbilisi to Borjomi, in a small organised group, with a guide who would show us the town and its surroundings. On Tripster and similar sites we found nothing suitable for us, so we decided…
Simply superb. I saw Georgia through different eyes. I recommend it to everyone. Fun, delicious and interesting

Can I swim in the Zhinvali Reservoir?

How long does the Ananuri excursion take?
Ananuri is 70 km from Tbilisi along the Georgian Military Road — the drive takes about 1.5 hours. The excursion usually takes half a day and is often combined with Gudauri or Kazbegi on the same day.
What’s interesting on the Georgian Military Road?
It’s a historic road across the Caucasus. Along the way there are mountain panoramas, the Aragvi river gorge and Ananuri Fortress itself on the shore of a turquoise reservoir. The guide stops at the best photo spots.
Is it hard to get up there?
The cable car ride up takes 2 minutes. Walking down through the botanical garden takes 30 minutes on a gentle slope.
How much is the cable car?
₾2.50 one way. Pay with a metro card (TBC Pay or BOG).
Do I need a ticket for Narikala Fortress?
Entry to Narikala Fortress is free — it’s an open 4th-century site. The Tbilisi Botanical Garden behind the fortress charges a separate fee.
What can you see from Narikala Fortress?

When is the best time to go to Kazbegi?
May–June and September–October: comfortable temperatures, green mountains, little fog. In summer the valley is hot, but the pass is cool. Winter is beautiful, but the road is sometimes closed because of avalanches — the guide checks the day before the trip.
