4.Day tour to Chronicles of Georgia, Gori city, Uplistsikhe cave

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 86 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $34

Review of Tbilisi’s day tour to Uplistsikhe, Gori, and the Chronicles of Georgia, with costs, timing, sights, transport, and booking advice.

“Interestingly for me the most memorable part of the tour was the Stalin museum in Gori city. It surprised me that it affected me as well emotionally and thought provoking way too. I felt that the cave visit was rash though and to be honest the whole tour was a bit chaotic. Though the lunch time and the Borjomi visit was bit more relaxed. The tour guide maybe wanted to pass to much information in both Russian and English and the result was everywhere a hurry monologue.”

5.Ancient Georgia Group Tour: Mtskheta,Jvari, Gori, Uplistsikhe

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 73 reviews · 9 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $24

Review of a $24 Ancient Georgia day tour from Tbilisi, visiting Jvari, Gori, Uplistsikhe, and Mtskheta with practical tips.

“The places we saw were great and we learned enough about each site. Overall we had enough time for each place and not felt rushed. However the tour guide ran out of patience at the end and was rude toward one of the tour members. The tour guide didn’t take the whole group together to walk the monastery, the cathedral and the cave town to explain things. Not sure if this was how the tour company does its tour”

Review of a private Georgia day tour from Tbilisi to Mtskheta, Gori, the Stalin Museum, and Uplistsikhe cave town.

“I really wanted to just go to the Stalin Museum but this tour had a few add-ons as well. I was pleasantly surprised with the Uplistsikhe caves! They were really well preserved and in tact unlike some of the other ruins you go to in some countries where you have to "imagine" what used to be there. We were able to climb around in the caves and I enjoyed the wine tasting as well! Stalin museum was really well done (it helps if you know Russian) and I was especially impressed with Stalin's personal train.. that was super cool to go on. Lunch was great at a Georgian cafe! **At…”
