Jvari Monastery is a sixth century Georgian Orthodox monastery near Mtskheta, eastern Georgia. Along with other historic structures of Mtskheta, it is listed as a World Heritage site by UNESCO . Jvari Monastery stands on the rocky mountaintop at the confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers, overlooking the town of Mtskheta, which was formerly the capital of the Kingdom of Iberia.
The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral located in the historic town of Mtskheta, Georgia, to the northwest of the Georgian capital Tbilisi. A masterpiece of the Early Middle Ages, Svetitskhoveli is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. It is currently the second largest church building in Georgia, after the Holy Trinity Cathedral. The original church was built in 4th century A.D. during the reign of Mirian III of Kartli (Iberia). St. Nino is said to have chosen the confluence of the Mtkvari (Kura) and Aragvi rivers as the place of the first Georgian Church.
Zhinvali, also Jinvali, is an artificial water reservoir located on the river Aragvi in Georgia. The building of the hydroelectric dam formed the Zhinvali Reservoir. The dam has been built in 1986.
Ananuri was a castle and seat of the eristavis (Dukes) of Aragvi, a feudal dynasty which ruled the area from the 13th century. The castle was the scene of numerous battles. In 1739, Ananuri was attacked by forces from a rival duchy, commanded by Shanshe of Ksani and was set on fire. The Aragvi clan was massacred. However, four years later, the local peasants revolted against rule by the Shamshe, killing the usurpers and inviting King Teimuraz II to rule directly over them. However, in 1746, King Teimuraz was forced to suppress another peasant uprising, with the help of King Erekle II of Kakheti. The fortress remained in use until the beginning of the 19th century. In 2007, the complex has been on the tentative list for inclusion into the UNESCO World Heritage Site program.
Gudauri is a ski resort located on the south-facing plateau of The Greater Caucasus Mountain Range in Georgia.

It was already March when we visit the snow activity in Gudaire but the snow still high and we had soooo much fun. We enjoy the snow and play with the snow. Too many snow activities there in Gudaire . They have coffee shop and restaurant in the ski resort. I enjoy the cable car . I would definitely comeback again to Gudaire .
I wanted to write how horrible the and misleading this is. I booked this and they took the money in advance however the tour guy never showed up despite waiting for hours. Requested for a refund and i was told it will be refunded but till date i never received my money!
What a lovely way to experience Tibilisi and surroundings. Our Guide was really knowledgeable and made our day truly memorable. Highly recommended!!
We visited Tbilisi for only three days and wanted to see as many sites as possible in the little time that we had available to us. To make things more complicated, we were traveling with a 20 month old son who is not always as flexible as we are. From the beginning of the tour which started at 9 am at our hotel to the very end, both tour guides were nothing but exceptional. The vehicle was spacious, the driving was safe and the narrative explaining different attractions along the way was perfect. At no point during the tour we were rushed and we felt that things were done at our pace which was great! We were free to spend as much or as little time at any of the sights that we visited and were always guided and helped along, whether exploring attractions or trying to bargain with the local vendors. Along the way we stopped at the very delicious Georgian restaurant as the little one needed a break and the food and local drinks were a delight. When we arrived to Gudauri, we were not just dropped off at some point and left alone, but were shown around and introduced to different activities available to us. To top it all off, the guys even offered to watch and play with our son in the fresh snow (his first ever), while we decided to try paragliding from the top of the mountain. The drive back was just as pleasant and relaxed. We truly enjoyed this tour, the Georgian hospitality and we are already planning another visit and another tour with this team in the summer months this year! Highly recommend. great for family and kids. Great English Speaking guides and they also have a great sense of humor. I forgot when was the last time we laughed so much! Do not think twice of booking with these guys. Was worth every dollar and every hour of the limited time we had over that weekend.
I'm from Abu Dhabi UAE, We had wonderful time in Tbilisi.The company organized very well with good price. Our guide (Dachi) is our hero. Such a great guy, he never regrets for anything. U don't need to worry for anything there if this guy is with you. We didn't get any trouble in the whole trip. thanks Dachi and team.
