Ancient Georgia Group Tour: Mtskheta, Jvari, Gori, Uplistsikhe
Beskrivelse
Mtskheta-Jvari er et UNESCOs verdensarvssted og den tidligere hovedstad i Georgien. Stedet er hjemsted for adskillige historiske kirker og katedraler, herunder Jvari-klosteret, som kan dateres tilbage til det 6. århundrede. Stalin Museum-Uplistsikhe er et unikt museum dedikeret til livet og arven efter Joseph Stalin, der blev født i Georgien. Museet viser en række artefakter, herunder Stalins personlige ejendele og fotografier, og tilbyder besøgende et fascinerende indblik i livet for en af de mest kontroversielle ledere i moderne historie. Uplistsikhe er en anden gammel georgisk by hugget ind i de klippefyldte klipper, som giver et indblik i landets gamle fortid. Det er et vigtigt arkæologisk sted og et must-besøg destination for alle interesseret i historie og arkæologi.

Sammenløbet af floderne Mtkvari og Aragvi
State Stalin Museum ligger i Gori, byen hvor Stalin blev født. Det komplekse museum blev åbnet i 1957. I huset, hvor Stalin blev født, blev mindemuseet åbnet i 1937, i Stalins levetid.
Lunsj på en lokal restaurant
Den er bygget på en høj klippefyldt venstre bred af Mtkvari-floden og indeholder forskellige strukturer fra den tidlige jernalder til den sene middelalder og er bemærkelsesværdig for den unikke kombination af forskellige stilarter af klippekulturer fra Anatolien og Iran, samt sameksistensen af hedensk og kristen arkitektur.
Svetitskhoveli sidder i hjertet af Old Mtskheta og er endnu mere historisk betydningsfuld end Jvari. Dette er den 'første georgiske kirke', opført på et sted valgt af Saint Nino selv. Det huser snesevis af dyrebare relikvier, herunder (det, der menes at være) Kristi kappe, en døbefont fra det 4. århundrede og et stykke cedertræ, der er reddet fra den oprindelige struktur.

The tour was very well paced and Irakli had excellent energy and was very knowledgeable
Great guide, very interesting tour. Comfortable ride.
The pick up arrangement was a little bit messy as there were several pick up points. The tour guide gave enough information at each point, but more in Russian language. Overall experience was good though.
We visited very interesting sites but the guide’s English was quite mediocre and he explained much more in Russian than in English. That’s why we could not get a complete picture of the sites.
David was very good guide and very helpful, as well as very good organised. Responsive to all of the questions and concerns of 16 tourists at our day tour. Thanks a lot 👍🏼😊
A well structured trip that covered all the stops in Ancient Georgia that was sceduled, giving us a good perspective about the history of Georgia.
A very long day. I booked an English tour and was apart of a dual langiage tour. I am not interested in listening to everything twice and once in a language that I cannot understand. This means everything takes twice as long which turned a tour that should be 6-7 hours to a 11 hour tour.
David was a amazing tour guide he was very patient professional and knowledgeable about his history and he put the entire group at ease and he was kind enough to explain me the history in English apart from Russian.Highly recommend
It was a very good tour we enjoydit a lot . We enjoyed the narrative from the guide . Very beautifull places .the ride was very comfortable
I really enjoyed the tour. The tour guide, David, is a real professional. Not only is he knowledgeable of the regional history and culture, he is also expert at managing a group of people, keeping them engaged, cared for, and comfortable. As we moved through the day attending four glorious sites, David kept track of everyone in the group, effortlessly adjusted the plan to smooth out the logistics, switched between English and Russian to accommodate our language abilities, and built rapport with vendors and all of us customers in the group to make for a pleasant day. No one got left behind, no one threw a tantrum due in no small measure to David's prowess as a guide. The van was comfortable enough, our driver was courteous and friendly and knew how to drive. All the sites were quite magnificent and we had enough time to explore each. The two things to keep in mind. If you happen to be a woman, you may want to bring a scarf to cover your head if you do not want to use one of the scarves that are readily available at each site. If you are a man, either wear long pants or bring covering for your legs to enter the churches. It was a bit more challenging for men in our group to find a large enough scarf to cover their legs. Note also that a visit to Uplistsikhe involves a lot of climbing the rocks, which could be treacherous on a wet day, if your shoes do not have a certain degree of traction, or you do not possess a certain degree of fitness. From the birthplace of Christianity in Georgia, to the birthplace of one of the most controversial figures in the world's history, to a picturesque monastery in a most striking mountaintop location, to an ancient cave town, all in one day. You will probably enjoy it; i certainly did.
