    Amazing Weekend <3

    Me and my friends took a two day tour with Mamuka: Gudauri and Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-Mtskheta Tour. We had so much fun! It was the perfect weather to experience snow and the other side of Borjomi. Mamuka together with Anna was very informative and fun to be with. He also recommended restaurants which we tried and had an awesome and legit taste of Georgian food! We met his wife and grankid as well :) We are so happy to experience this trip!

    Amazing experience

    We visited Georgia last year after our marriage. It was a great trip with Mamuka. He was a great guide and showed us various places explaining the history of the places. He guided us with good restaurants and shopping places. His communication was also good in both English and local language. Looking forward for the next trip with him.

    Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-Mtskheta: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-Mtskheta cost?

    +

    Prices start at $179 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 Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-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 Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-Mtskheta worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-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 Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-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 Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-Mtskheta?

    +

    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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-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 Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-Mtskheta?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; On-board WiFi; Driver + Guide; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-Mtskheta include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Tbilisi. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-Mtskheta offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-Mtskheta?

    +

    Is Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-Mtskheta wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Uplistsikhe-Borjomi-Gori-Mtskheta if the weather is bad?

    +
