Uplistsikhe, in translation Fortress of the Lord, is a cave town fortress situated on a rocky massif on the left bank of the river Mtkvari. Dating back to I-II millennium B.C. Uplistsikhe was an important religious, political and cultural centre in the Hellenistic and the late Antique periods. Visitors can still walk among the ancient streets, rock-carved theatre, royal halls, pharmacy, pagan temples and Christian churches, while the remains of granaries and large clay wine vessels give us some clue as to the daily life of the inhabitants.

There is also much illustration by way of documentation, photographs, paintings and newspaper articles.

Chronicles of Georgia. The capital of Georgia, Tbilisi, is famous for several impressive sights. Among them are the Narikala fortress, the Mother of Kartli, the Tsminda Sameba Cathedral and the largest - the “History of Georgia” memorial. Few of the city's guests visit it, although the semantic load and large-scale dimensions are worth your attention and time. The grandiose ensemble of monumental sculptures “History of Georgia” was created by the hands of the Tbilisi genius Zurab Tsereteli. He is a world famous sculptor and artist who has created many monuments in different countries, but this monument is considered one of his best works. The memorial took 20 years to create, but, unfortunately, it has not yet been completed. There are still several elements missing in the sculpture, and the master’s tools stand waiting for the long-awaited finale.

Tour through a Global Historical Treasure
This is a once in a lifetime experience I won't soon forget. This is UNESCO World heritage part of Silk Road and Ancient history, it's a must to be explored. 5 years later my grandfather and wife is watching a documentary of this exact place, and I can say I visited it, it inspired me to covert to Orthodox Christianity myself. My wife even thought it was Cappadocia in Turkey, it's that amazing of an experience, it's a shame so few know of this amazing land.

An excellent, guided tour.
An excellent tour, well led, informative and a complete pleasure from start to finish. Uplistsikhe Caves were very interesting and the luch was tasty. Gori was fascinating for anyone interested in the history of the vile Stalin - I'm not sure Stalin fridge magnets should be a thing. Finally, the Georgia Chronicles offered impressive views over the reservoir/lake, as as being a well presented piece of outdoor art.

Day trip to Gori and the Cave City
We had an awesome day out in the snowy conditions with George and Nino. They looked after us very well and were very knowledgeable. I would certainly recommend them and will be using them again for other trips.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day tour to Chronicles of Georgia, Gori city, Uplistsikhe cave: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Day tour to Chronicles of Georgia, Gori city, Uplistsikhe cave cost?
+
Prices start at $34 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 Day tour to Chronicles of Georgia, Gori city, Uplistsikhe cave 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 Day tour to Chronicles of Georgia, Gori city, Uplistsikhe cave worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 88 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 Day tour to Chronicles of Georgia, Gori city, Uplistsikhe cave?
+
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 Day tour to Chronicles of Georgia, Gori city, Uplistsikhe cave 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 Day tour to Chronicles of Georgia, Gori city, Uplistsikhe cave?
+
Around 31 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 Day tour to Chronicles of Georgia, Gori city, Uplistsikhe cave 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.
