This trip was interesting and well organised with a variety of stops and areas of interest. We listened to stories by Kevin, which were told in an engaging and compassionate way. Wayne, our driver was also very caring and always helped us off the bus! Both Kevin and Wayne were professional and experienced professionals. I just loved seeing the United Kingdom, especially Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Enjoy a full-day private trip to Tbilisi and Mtskheta, which includes exploration of two ancient towns that are linked by religion, culture, and history. Each of them was the main city of Georgia at some point.
Mtskheta was the ancient capital of Georgia from the 4th-century BC to the 5th-century AD. This little town contains two UNESCO world heritage sites. Tbilisi holds more than 1500 years of history as the capital, and because of strategic and economic advantages has always been in the center of the battlefield during invasions. In the old city, you can feel the mix of multiethnic cosmopolitan traditions, which create the unforgettable charm of Tbilisi.
On the tour, we will pick you up from your hotel and drive to Mtskheta, which is located 25 km away to the west.
