    Up to expectation

    The guide is nice and polite, with good English. He drove safely and the car is comfortable. Though the car was broken down during the return way, we enjoyed the day.

    This was one of the worst tours I...

    <p>This was one of the worst tours I have ever had. The driver was the worst part, by far. He was overly aggressive, passing anyone who was in front of him even if we were on a curvy mountain road. I would never get into a car with this man again. I cannot believe the tour company keeps using him as I have seen other reviews about a bad driver. The tour guide was pleasant but new and not very knowledgeable past what she was told about the sites we visited. Speaking of sites, they failed to stop at one of the sites on the itinerary. Luckily, I had already seen it on another tour the day before. When they asked me about lunch, I suggested we wait an hour but I guess they took that as an invitation to end the tour 2 hours early and just drop me off at my hotel. I have less faith in Viator as a company I can trust to provide safe and valuable tours after this tour.</p>

    <p>This is a must do when going to Tbilisi. Loads of beautiful places and landmarks seen. Unfortunately we could not go up the mountain at the end, but had an amazing lunch at Rooms Hotel.</p>

    The trip was good, irakli the guide...

    <p>The trip was good, irakli the guide was well versed guy. I was disappointed to find the car to be VW-Passat instead of Mercedes as shown in the offer. The 4X4 car which took us in a later stage to kazbegi was very old and half damaged. He was actually overtaking cars and flying all the way to go back to tbilisi as quick as possible. All in all, the trip was good, the guide was knowledgeable and good in English. I recommend it but i feel i paid more than what i got pricey</p>

    It is supposed to be a landscaping...

    <p>It is supposed to be a landscaping trip and i was more worried about the reckless driving of the guide of the tour than anything else. They put both my partner and me in a small tourism and drove us through mountain roads at average 100km/h until reaching Kazbegi, violating several traffic rules and overtaking everyone in the way no matter condition of the road or visibility. The come back was even worse, he was in a rush to go back to the city. We had two small incidents that were a near miss.</p> <p>For you to have a clear picture of what we went through, we did not see a single car overtaking us in the full duration of the trip. It was a nice place to visit, but the road experience ruined our trip.</p>

    Private Tour to Kazbegi Caucasus Mountains and Mtskheta: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Tour to Kazbegi Caucasus Mountains and Mtskheta cost?

    +

    Prices start at $180 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 Private Tour to Kazbegi Caucasus Mountains and Mtskheta take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Private Tour to Kazbegi Caucasus Mountains and Mtskheta worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 17 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 Private Tour to Kazbegi Caucasus Mountains and Mtskheta?

    +

    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 Private Tour to Kazbegi Caucasus Mountains and Mtskheta suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Kazbegi Caucasus Mountains and Mtskheta?

    +

    Around 6 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour to Kazbegi Caucasus Mountains and Mtskheta 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 Private Tour to Kazbegi Caucasus Mountains and Mtskheta?

    +

    Included: Transport by private vehicle 4x4 on the last location; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; and Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
