About this trip
Ten days moving through Georgia's Caucasus highlands, alpine valleys, and Black Sea coast, starting in Tbilisi and taking in five UNESCO World Heritage sites along the way.
The centrepiece is Ushguli, one of the highest permanent settlements in Europe, reached by a 4x4 jeep ride from Mestia along the Enguri river through remote villages of medieval stone towers.
After the mountain stretch the pace eases with time to unwind on the Black Sea shores. It's a guaranteed-departure group tour, guided throughout, and pitched as an easy-going way to see both Georgia's highlands and its coast.

Worth it if you want genuine Western Georgia insights with an exceptional guide. Think twice if you're over 65, dislike long drives, or want leisurely exploration time.
- Guide Lasha is genuinely exceptional: deep country knowledge, calm under terrible Georgian traffic, makes the trip.
- Long stretches between regions with minimal warning; one reviewer wished for extra night in Batumi after mountain drive fatigue.
- Itinerary is tight with late-day driving; limited time to explore towns like Batumi and Kutaisi properly.
- Attractions sometimes closed without advance notice or alternatives offered; check ahead on Sataplia cave and specific museums.
