    Beautiful places, historical insights & fun photos

    Our tour guide Irakli was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever interacted with. He genuinely cared about us and our experience. He learned what we were interested in and adjusted. Our group was quite interested in shopping, he gave us time to do that. We also wanted photos, not only did he take excellent photos for us, he gave us ideas on how to pose. He also provided a lot of knowledge about the historical sites and both historical and modern culture. When I forgot my jacket behind he offered to drive 45 minutes back to get it. It felt like a good local friend taking us on a tour. Would absolutely do this tour again!

    Response from the operator: I'd love to go on a tour with your three again 🥰🥰🥰

    A great experience

    Irakli was an amazing tour guide. His knowledge of the local history, wine and food really enhanced our tour. He even taught us some Georgian dance moves! But more importantly he was flexible about pick up locations, and waited patiently while we shopped and took pictures. He is an amazing photographer/videographer himself so we have some great memories. But on top of all that his kindness is what I truly appreciated. When my friend discovered that she had left her jacket behind he offered to drive us 45 minutes back to the location. You won’t find a better guide!

    Response from the operator: I would say, whole day was an amazing because of you. I enjoy a lot with kind and friendly people. I was lucky to have you on a tour 🥰

    Great overview of the region, highly recommend!

    This day trip provided an excellent overview of Kazbegi. It was rich with wonderful landscapes, from dams to gorges and the Caucasus Mountains. The short hike to the Gvelati Waterfall was fun and we were rewarded with a very peaceful view and crystal-clear water. Anunari Fortress and the Gergeti Trinity Church are both important historical sites and also make for wonderful pictures. I would highly recommend this tour. Tato, our guide, was attentive to our needs and always made sure we were comfortable. Lunch was excellent and portions were very large.

    Kazbegi full day private tour + LUNCH: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.

    How much does Kazbegi full day private tour + LUNCH cost?

    +

    Prices start at $110 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 Kazbegi full day private tour + LUNCH take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Kazbegi full day private tour + LUNCH worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 Kazbegi full day private tour + LUNCH?

    +

    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 Kazbegi full day private tour + LUNCH suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kazbegi full day private tour + LUNCH?

    +

    Around 8 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kazbegi full day private tour + LUNCH 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 Kakheti Wine Region Tour + 10 Premium Wine Tastings & Sunset, Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,Chronicles of Georgia & Wine Cellar, Day Trip to Kazbegi and Gudauri. 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.

    What is included in Kazbegi full day private tour + LUNCH?

    +

    Included: Private tour; Professional guide; Lunch; Transport by air-conditioned minivan; and Hotel/port pickup and drop-off. Not included: Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Kazbegi full day private tour + LUNCH include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 766 listed pickup locations in and around Tbilisi. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Kazbegi full day private tour + LUNCH offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Russian and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Kazbegi full day private tour + LUNCH?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Kazbegi full day private tour + LUNCH if the weather is bad?

    +
