Additional Information

Mtskheta, located in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti province of Georgia, is one of the country’s oldest cities. It sits at the junction of the Kura and Aragvi rivers, roughly 20 kilometers north of the capital, Tbilisi. In this historic city, you’ll find the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, an example of Eastern Orthodox architecture.

Renowned for its Early Middle Ages design, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Svetitskhoveli is Georgia’s second-largest church, following the Holy Trinity Cathedral. Another significant site in Eastern Georgia is Uplistsikhe, or the “Lord’s Fortress“. This deserted town carved out of rock has been a significant piece of Georgian history. Established during the late Bronze Age, around 1000 BC, it remained populated until the 13th century AD.

The best tour guide in Georgia - I booked Popular Destinations through recommendation from a friend and the tour guide, David did not fail us. He was on time on our pickup arrival from airport, suggested where is the best rate for money exchange and transferred us to our place of stay. We did a 4 day tour, personalised according to our schedule. 1st day we did a night tour of the old Tbilisi City, 2nd day, Kakheti tour, 3rd day the Kazbegi and Gudauri Tour and 4th day Mschketa half day tour. He provided us with a minivan for us as we are a family of 4. It is very comfortable and he even provided a carseat for our child. All tour we had was pleasant and David is very knowledgeable of the country’s history. He speaks fluent in English. He suggested the places where we tried authentic Georgian Cuisines. Overall, it was a very great, comfortable and very organised vacation and will definitely come back with the same tour guide company.
