Zhinvali Water Reservoir
Our first stop will be at at Jinval Dam for photo taking. Jinvali Dam was made in 1970s in Soviet time for hydro electricy pover. The name of the Dam is coming from the city that was just before the dam. Now this city is under water and the tourists call it also underwater city. It was an old, antique time beautifull city with full of archeological sites and artefacts which are now under water. The local people were given the houses to live not far from the Dam. The level of the Dam rising in Summer in rainy season and reducing in Winter in dry Season. Only one fortress preserved from this city because it is located on higher place, on the hill. Our next stop will be Ananuri fortress.

Ananuri Fortress is a mediavel time fortress of 13th century. It was built in order to protect the Jincali city from the enemies and close the roads to the mountains. It has high walls and towers for fighting and one residential tower. There is also one Church in the fortress on the name of Saint-George. Saint-George was protector of Georgian armies, fortresses and cities.

In Gudauri we stop for photo taking at Gudauri Friendship monument. Actually it is next to Gudauri. Gudauri Friendship monument, called also Panorama Monument, was built in 1083 Soviet TIme for memorising 200 Years old friendship between Georgian and Russian people. The history of Georgia and Russia is painted on the wall. 200 Years ago a friendship and cooperation agreement was made between Georgian and Russian kings, they call also protectorship agreement, but after last Georgian kign died, Russians abolised kingdom in Georgia and Russian Governors ruled Georgia until Russian Socialist Revolutions, until Communists came to power. So this monument memorizes 200 Years relationship between Georgia and Russia, made in Soviet time propaganda style.

Great day tour....because of a great tourguide...George!
We decided to do a day tour to easter Georgia - Anauri and Gadauri because we wanted to suprise our step son's girlfriend with a marriage proposal. I have to say that none of this would have been possible without George our guide. He helped us with everything and even became our photographer. He became part of the family. It wouldn't have been special without George. THANK YOU ...THANK YOU....THANK YOU
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review and kindness! It was a great pleasure for me to guide you and your wonderful family in Georgia! You are amazing people and family! You had really special day with pleasant suprises and sweet memories! Everything was excellent and memorable during the tour, like the places we have visitied, the weather, amazing adventure activities, suprises made for your son's girlfriend, dinner, travel with musics and all. Thank you again for your visit in Georgia, for taking me as your guide and all the kindness. Looking forward for your next trip to Georgia together with your grandchildren! With best regards, George :)

George for Georgia !!!
Tour of Tbilisi was special to us personally. Thanks to George that he made the tour memorable for us. Adding to the beauty of Georgia, he took special attention that we along with kids enjoyed every moment of the tour and took extra care about our visit. The tour was well planned that we covered the best of 4 days visiting Tbilisi City, Jvari Monastery, Gudauri, Mtskheta, Gori, Uplistikhe. Every place we went by was filled with rich history and George ensured that we as toursist understand the significance of the city, people and culture. An evening well spent in Tbilisi with local cuisine, wine , music & dance is not to be missed and George knows the best. Many thanks again and hope we see again for another season :) Cheers!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review! It was a great pleasure for me to guide you in Georgia! You are wonderful people and amazing family! I am glad that you liked my country and my tours in Georgia! I'll be always happy to see you and guide you in Georgia! Looking forward for your next trip in Georgia! With best regards, George, your tour guide in Georgia :)

Georgia
It was an awesome 3 full-day trip outside Tbilisi with friends and the helpful guide, George. He is well informed about his country may it be religion, history etc but just do not ask him about flowers. Lol. He would also go beyond his duty as a tour guide by physically assisting you while going up or down or just crossing. We were a group of 5 women and he helped us all. And for that, I highly recommend him, if you are looking for a knowledgeable tourist guide. He also speaks english well, hospitable and recommends great places. Thank you, George. We are looking forward to see more of interesting places in Georgia. Keep on doing what you love and God bless! 😊 Esmeralda
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review! It was a great pleasure for me to meet you and guide you in Georgia! You are wonderful and amazing people! I am happy that you liked my tours and my country! I hope you will visit Georgia again many more times and Georgia will be your favorite holiday country! I'll be happy always to see you in my country together with your friends and family members! I'll guide you always with great pleasure and show you many more interesting and beautiful places in Georgia! With best regards, your guide George from Georgia! :)

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Caucasus mountains full day Private Tour Ananuri-Gudauri-Kazbegi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Caucasus mountains full day Private Tour Ananuri-Gudauri-Kazbegi cost?
+
Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tbilisi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Caucasus mountains full day Private Tour Ananuri-Gudauri-Kazbegi take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tbilisi is not rushed.
Is Caucasus mountains full day Private Tour Ananuri-Gudauri-Kazbegi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tbilisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Caucasus mountains full day Private Tour Ananuri-Gudauri-Kazbegi?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Caucasus mountains full day Private Tour Ananuri-Gudauri-Kazbegi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Caucasus mountains full day Private Tour Ananuri-Gudauri-Kazbegi?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tbilisi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tbilisi and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Caucasus mountains full day Private Tour Ananuri-Gudauri-Kazbegi start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tbilisi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tbilisi?
+
On Outty we rank every Tbilisi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tbilisi:Evening Walking & Talking Tour with Wine & Boat Ride, Kakheti Wine Region Tour + 10 Premium Wine Tastings & Sunset, Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,wine tasting,Chronicles of Georgia. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tbilisi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tbilisi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
