Delve into the culture of a land where myths and legends seem to spring from every forest, rock and stream, on one of our Georgia Tours.
Lying at the crossroads of trade and tradition for centuries, Georgia is one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. It’s a country of breath-taking landscapes, a cuisine that is as delicious as it is undiscovered and a rich national story stretching back over 5,000 years.
We go out of our way to put together Georgia tours that combine off the beaten track locations, with must-see sites. Our tour guides will treat you to Georgia’s wine and food culture and walk you through remote mountain villages, all while meeting some of the friendliest locals you’re likely to find.
Our Georgia Holidays allow you to explore the snow-covered peaks of the Caucasus Mountains, the glittering waters of the Black Sea and the picturesque meadows of wildflowers, all that gives Georgia a claim to be considered as one of the most beautiful countries in the world. It’s little wonder that the Georgians themselves believe their country to be a gift from God.
It also boasts a cultural heritage that’s able to rival almost anywhere, with its host of captivating churches decorated with colourful frescos, ancient watchtowers and medieval cave cities carved into the mountainside. Its history tells of invasion and conquest from Greeks, Mongols, Ottomans and Russians – and all have left an indelible mark on Georgia we see today. Its architecture, art, religion and cuisine contain clear influences from these old powers and yet are still uniquely Georgian.
The capital city of Tbilisi has its own charm, its old town is full of winding streets lined with quirky shops and chic cafes. On the coast of the Black Sea lies Georgia’s second-largest city of Batumi, a former regional commercial hub and now a popular retreat for locals looking to enjoy the area’s warm weather. And then there’s Gori, the birthplace of Stalin and a town where the country’s Soviet past is still clearly visible in its austere architecture.
Whether you visit Georgia to see its scenery, meet the locals, enjoy its cuisine, discover its history, or all of the above, we don’t think you’ll come away disappointed. Georgia has everything you need for a perfect holiday.

WHEN TO GO
The weather conditions can be extremely varied (even within the course of a day!). The Greater Caucasus Range moderates local climate by serving as a barrier against cold air from the north and the relatively small territory covers different climatic zones, which are determined by distance from the Black Sea and by altitude. The climatic zones range from humid subtropical to snow and glaciers.
The temperatures listed below are average daily maximums.

USEFUL INFORMATION
Health and Vaccinations
There are no mandatory immunisations for travellers to Georgia though you should be up-to-date with Typhoid, Tetanus, Polio and Hepatitis A. Malaria is not usually present in Georgia but we highly recommend you seek advice from your local GP or travel centre as to the correct immunisations and preventative treatments.
Currency
In Georgia the official unit of currency is the Lari.
To check out the latest exchange rate for the places that you are visiting you can go to www.oanda.com.
Cultural Sensitivity
On our tours you will frequently interact with local people, each with their own distinct customs and traditions. We therefore ask you to be considerate and to treat them with respect. Your tour-leaders and guides will always be able to advise you accordingly.
In Georgia, in churches and cathedrals women should cover their heads with a scarf or hat, while men should take their hats off.
Language & Religion
The official language of Georgia is Georgian. South Caucasian groups other than ethnic Georgians often speak their native languages in addition to Georgian.
Georgia’s Apostolic Autocephalous Orthodox Church was founded in the 1st Century and is one of the world’s most ancient Christian Churches. In Georgia every citizen has the right of religion and nearly 85% of the country practice orthodox Christianity. Muslims make up the largest of the religious minorities within Georgia.
Time
Georgia is 4 hours ahead of GMT.
A useful website to check the time zone differences is www.worldtimezone.com.
Food and drink
Food in the Caucasus is one of the biggest attractions for visitors and is the centrepiece of domestic cultural activity. Here they pride themselves on being the bons viveurs of the former Soviet Union and much of the food and wine – for which Georgia especially is so famous – is simply delicious - do not expect to lose weight! Each region has its unique cuisine with flavours derived from spice combinations, but as a rule, a focus on herbs and garlic predominates and also makes extensive use of walnuts. Vegetarians can be catered for, but for any other dietary requirements please contact the office.
Georgian wines are regarded as the best quality. The country's unique climate and soil quality have made it a major winemaking region for many thousands of years and Kindzmareuli, a fruity, red wine, is reputed to have been Stalin’s favourite tipple. Akhasheni and Teliavi are two of the more common red wines, fruity and dry respectively. Tsinandali is a dry white wine, as is Gurdzhaani.
