Ananuri
It is believed that the Ananuri fortress was founded in the 16th century. In the first half of the 19th century, a Russian garrison was located here, which guarded the Georgian Military Highway. And in 1829 the fortress was visited by A.S. Pushkin during his trip to Georgia. Currently, the fortress is open to everyone. Entrance to the territory is free. There are two temples on the territory of the fortress, but for us the most interesting were the fortress walls and towers, which you could climb

It is not always possible to see this beautiful, but at the same time, “with character” mountain, they say that it hides behind clouds from people with a bad aura! The mountain can be seen already arriving in the village.

Decent
Not a bad experience considering they had quite a lot of distance and spots to cover. They covered all the spots as mentioned in the itinerary. However, the description promised a 20 people group tour but the actual tour had more than 45 in the bus. Also, the tour guide could have been more lively in his approach while describing the history/ places.

Too much talk by Guide
We have found tour guides here do things very differently to english speaking countries. We asked our fellow Indian, English, Australian travellers and they agreed 100% It is the non stop talking by the guide from the moment the bus moves off to the end. No quiet time at all. No time to think, or discuss just talk talk talk. It drove us all crazy. Some wore headphones and played music to drown out the noise, others tried to sleep. We are not used to this talk talk talk by a guide and we don't like it at all. That said, both guides we had on the two tours were lovely. They were rightly proud of Georgia, had enormous knowledge and obviously in Georgia it must be expected that the guide talks all the time. Maybe one bus for English speakers with a guide who is quiet most of the time and another bus for Russian speakers who enjoy 100% talk???

Long day, lots of stops
This is a full day trip, we were out over 12 hours. Lots of stops on the way, first the reservoir, then Ananauri fortress, then the black and white river, then a stop to take pictures and buy honey, then through Gudauri and on to Kazbegi, Stepantsminda and Gergeti monastery with a final stop at the Russia Georgia friendship memorial. The monastery is accessed by a different vehicle and costs 20 lari, you don’t have to go up to it if you don’t want. Take plenty of food and drink with you and warm clothes, wear sensible footwear. Most of the places you stop at have toilet facilities, some are nicer than others. The downside of this trip is that the road to Kazbegi gets closed to allow trucks to pass through the mountain tunnels. If this happens, be prepared for a lengthy delay. We were stuck for an hour and a half. Guide was knowledgeable and spoke excellent English, the vehicle was decent and comfortable. The meeting point in Tbilisi is a bit chaotic, just go to the square at the bottom of Kote Afkazi street where the buses pick up, tell them where you are going and who with and they will direct you. We set off at 9am and got back at 9.30pm. Overall a good day, albeit a long one.

Convenient Day Trip from Tbilisi
Jimmy was a great guide who really brought this day trip to life. It’s a convenient trip from the capital to see some gorgeous Mountain Views, alpine lakes, and scenic photo spots. Jimmy is a great photographer too. The driver was also very friendly and we played games in the car on the way back to pass the time, plus everyone got to pick a song to represent their culture! Super interesting and made the drive seem so much faster! Jimmy also helped me when there was a mixup with my order in the restaurant, and if you run out of local currency he can just pay for you at these little shops and then you can go to an ATM to pay him after the trip. All in all a great day!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Tbilisi: Kazbegi, Gudauri & Ananuri Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does From Tbilisi: Kazbegi, Gudauri & Ananuri Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 From Tbilisi: Kazbegi, Gudauri & Ananuri Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 From Tbilisi: Kazbegi, Gudauri & Ananuri Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 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 From Tbilisi: Kazbegi, Gudauri & Ananuri Day Trip?
+
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 From Tbilisi: Kazbegi, Gudauri & Ananuri Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Tbilisi: Kazbegi, Gudauri & Ananuri Day Trip?
+
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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Tbilisi: Kazbegi, Gudauri & Ananuri Day Trip 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.
