Ancient Georgia Group Tour: Mtskheta, Jvari, Gori, Uplistsikhe
Beskrivning
Mtskheta-Jvari är en UNESCO: s världsarvslista och Georgiens tidigare huvudstad. Platsen är hem för många historiska kyrkor och katedraler, inklusive Jvari-klostret, som går tillbaka till 600-talet. Stalinmuseet-Uplistsikhe är ett unikt museum tillägnat livet och arvet efter Joseph Stalin, som föddes i Georgien. Museet visar upp en mängd artefakter, inklusive Stalins personliga tillhörigheter och fotografier, och erbjuder besökarna en fascinerande inblick i livet för en av de mest kontroversiella ledarna i modern historia. Uplistsikhe är en annan gammal georgisk stad uthuggen i de klippiga klipporna, som ger en inblick i landets gamla förflutna. Det är en viktig arkeologisk plats och ett måste att besöka för alla som är intresserade av historia och arkeologi.

Sammanflödet av floderna Mtkvari och Aragvi
Statliga Stalinmuseet ligger i Gori, staden där Stalin föddes. Det komplexa museet invigdes 1957. I huset, där Stalin föddes, invigdes minnesmuseet 1937, under Stalins livstid.
Lunch på lokal restaurang
Byggd på en hög klippig vänstra strand av floden Mtkvari, innehåller den olika strukturer från tidig järnålder till sen medeltid och är känd för den unika kombinationen av olika stilar av stenhuggna kulturer från Anatolien och Iran, såväl som samexistensen av hednisk och kristen arkitektur.
Svetitskhoveli ligger i hjärtat av Gamla Mtskheta och är ännu mer historiskt betydelsefull än Jvari. Detta är den "första georgiska kyrkan", uppförd på en plats som Saint Nino själv valt. Den rymmer dussintals dyrbara reliker, inklusive (vad man tror är) Kristi mantel, en dopfunt från 300-talet och en bit cederträ som räddats från den ursprungliga strukturen.

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.
