Uplistsikhe, in translation Fortress of the Lord, is a cave town fortress situated on a rocky massif on the left bank of the river Mtkvari. Dating back to I-II millennium B.C. Uplistsikhe was an important religious, political and cultural centre in the Hellenistic and the late Antique periods. Visitors can still walk among the ancient streets, rock-carved theatre, royal halls, pharmacy, pagan temples and Christian churches, while the remains of granaries and large clay wine vessels give us some clue as to the daily life of the inhabitants.
Joseph Stalin’s Museum in Gori – Stalin originally Georgian, was the secretary general of the Communist Party during second world war and one of the most influential dictators of modern times. Museum features Stalin’s house - a hut where he was born; his armour plated railway carriage and a statue that was controversially standing in the main square of Gori up until 2010. In addition, many items owned by Stalin, including some of his office furniture, his personal belongings and gifts made to him over the years. There is also much illustration by way of documentation, photographs, paintings and newspaper articles.
Chronicles of Georgia. The capital of Georgia, Tbilisi, is famous for several impressive sights. Among them are the Narikala fortress, the Mother of Kartli, the Tsminda Sameba Cathedral and the largest - the “History of Georgia” memorial. Few of the city's guests visit it, although the semantic load and large-scale dimensions are worth your attention and time. The grandiose ensemble of monumental sculptures “History of Georgia” was created by the hands of the Tbilisi genius Zurab Tsereteli. He is a world famous sculptor and artist who has created many monuments in different countries, but this monument is considered one of his best works. The memorial took 20 years to create, but, unfortunately, it has not yet been completed. There are still several elements missing in the sculpture, and the master’s tools stand waiting for the long-awaited finale.

Poorly prepared. No description of what to expect. Way too much Russian was spoken in relation to the participants. Way too much admission at the Lenin Museum, which had to be paid additionally. But a really great driver!
An excellent tour, well led, informative and a complete pleasure from start to finish. Uplistsikhe Caves were very interesting and the luch was tasty. Gori was fascinating for anyone interested in the history of the vile Stalin - I'm not sure Stalin fridge magnets should be a thing. Finally, the Georgia Chronicles offered impressive views over the reservoir/lake, as as being a well presented piece of outdoor art.

It was q great experience. The length and planning of the visit is well structured taking care of all the factors. I loved our tour guide Ms. NINO, this was my 3rd tour with her and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. There were 2 stops on this trip that required us to pay additional for entry tickets, which being informed beforehand we were prepared for the same. I would definitely love to tour with you guys again.
