Kazbegi Adventure - Private Day Trip From Tbilisi with a Dinner + Masterclass

I did 3 private tours with Kartveli the week of 7-12 November 2023, the Kazbegi tour, Vardzia tour, and Prometheus Cave tour. Saba was my guide and Malkhaz was my driver for all 3 tours and I cannot recommend them enough! I had an amazing week where everything went perfectly and there were no issues whatsoever! All 3 tours were very interesting with great stops and gorgeous views. Additionally, as a woman travelling alone, I never had any issues with anyone anywhere, it was very refreshing! Beka was super responsive and very helpful when answering all of my questions before booking. Saba is incredibly knowledgeable in history and culture and was very easy to talk to. Being a history and archeology nerd myself, I was very happy that Saba was a PhD archeology student and we could talk about nerd stuff together! Malkhaz is a great driver and is very kind. They made a great team and were even nice enough to get to know me and my interests and would suggest other things to see or places to go that I might like. It honestly was like going on a road trip with friends. The only thing is, since the tours are so long (which is fine), make sure to bring snacks for dinner for the drive back to Tbilisi, or try and stop somewhere for food on the way back. I stayed at the Folk Boutique Hotel which is a little further from most things so getting dinner was kind of a pain, so it would have been nice to stop somewhere along the way. However, I definitely could have asked them to stop but I didn't, so that's on me because I know they would have. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Kartveli, Saba, and Malkhaz and will absolutely book with Kartveli again!

This was the second time that we used Kartveli Tours and once again it was quite simply outstanding - from start to finish. We took day tours - Kazbegi Adventure and the Kakheti Wine Tour - and had a wonderful time. The tours themselves were supremely professional and, being there during Covid, all health and safety measures were strictly adhered to. We are already looking forward to our next trip!

We took a day tour to Kazbegi in July and it was unforgettable! We were picked up promptly from our hotel and visited some spectacular locations including a stop for paragliding. The dinner was amazing with lots of options and an amazing view. Beka our guide was incredible. He was patient, articulate and gave wonderful insights into Georgian history and culture which enriched our experience. Also, he is an excellent photographer and knew the best spots for pictures. Prior to the tour, communication was so easy and swift. All our questions were answered in great detail. We honestly fell in love with Georgia and cannot wait to be back!

Despite the fact that I booked the tour off-season in summer I was contacted very fast and all details of my booking and trip were provided so diligently. Even photos of pick-up car and location. We enjoyed wonderful tour to Kazbegi and to other miscellaneous and interesting sights. Our guide Malkhaz who not only drove us to these places but also waited patiently while we were visiting these historical places. We felt completely free and all our inquiries were satisfied at once. Thank you again for such great experience!

I don’t normally book tour guides, but I’m so glad I went to Kazbegi with Tamo on this private tour. It was great to have our own comfortable SUV and driver, and Tamo was a great guide— very friendly and helpful, with lots of background on each place we visited. Felt like spending the day with an old friend! Lunch was INCREDIBLE, with a full spread filled with tons of classic Georgian dishes— the perfect thing on a cold, snowy day. One of the best meals I during my stay, too (I am still dreaming of those fresh Khinkali dumplings, omg...) We also had panoramic views over the mountain scenery as we ate. I really enjoyed both church visits, and it was great to be able to spend as long or as little as we liked at each location with the flexibility of a private tour. I saw other groups being herded onto mashrutkas and I was happy we had a more relaxed, tailored experience! All in all, highly recommended. I would book another tour with the company in a heartbeat! Thanks Tamo :D

What an amazing day! Zhinvali Reservoir, Ananuri Fortress, Gudauri Panorama, and Gergeti Trinity Church were all spectacular sites. Our driver was wonderful, and lunch in Kasbegi was unforgettable. However, the true highlight was our guide, Lela. She was incredibly accommodating, intelligent and informative, and pleasant and friendly throughout the entire trip. We could not have asked for anything more!!

This tour was super Thanks to our guide Lela and our nice chaffour that picked us up outside our door in the morning. Our guide Lela was very knowledgeble about the beautiful stops at our tour and we felt like travelling more with a friend than a guide. The lunch was good with tasty food shared with the chauffour and the guide. This was served in Stephansminda before getting to our highlight stop, trinity church with the wiew of kazbegi. At the stop in gudauri our guide was helpful to get in Contact for a great paragliding that we wished for to try. We highley recomend this tour!
