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. Here we will visit Svetitskhoveli Cathedral and Jvari monastery, which represent the culmination of a number of artistic and architectural aspirations in early Christian architecture. In the middle of the tour, we will have lunch and taste typical Georgian dishes. After midday, we will drive back to Tbilisi and explore the old and new districts of the city. Ride up to Narikhala Fortress by the aerial cable car and admire the views of the city from the top. In the evening return back to the hotel.
This day tour takes you to one of the most beautiful places in Georgia, specifically to locations in south Kakheti, and allows you to discover a small historical region known as Kiziki. Your first destination will be the town of Dedoplistskaro, the location of Vashlovani National Park's visitors center. Visit two important places located close to Dedoplistskaro. The first one is the Eagle Canyon, known for its amazing views of the Alazani Valley. This place is loved by birdwatchers and if your tour falls in spring you will get to many different-colored flowers as well.
Khornabuji Fortress is another attraction that you will see today. This fortress was made in the fifth century and is located on a steep rock. Please note that climbing to the fortress is quite difficult. The next destination on the itinerary will be Bodbe Monastery (nunnery). This is where saint Nino of Kabadokia, one of the most respected saints in Georgia, passed away. This nunnery is located near Signagi. The main church was constructed in the 11th century and has interesting medieval wall paintings.
The last destination will be the cozy, late-medieval town Signagi. Explore its narrow streets as you take in the beauty of this town. You have two options in Signagi.

The other option is to head for the famous Okro’s winery where you can have lunch and taste wine.
Return to Tbilisi after this day tour is over.

Afterward, we will drive 20 minutes more to reach the first organic winery called Vellino. The superbly successful winemaker will lead us into his lovely wine cellar.
The next organic winery we visit is called “Okro wines” and is located in the city of love – Sighnaghi. The city is also known for its defensive town wall and is a site worth visiting. This winery offers us a stunning view over the Alazany Valley with a backdrop of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range. But the most important part is the sky-high quality organic wine.
