[ OVERVIEW ]

For many of us, Georgia isn’t the first country that comes to mind, but it should be. And no, it’s not in the USA. It’s where Europe meets Asia, with mountain roads, ancient monasteries, and hearty home-cooked food. From hiking around the snow-capped Caucasus to sipping homemade wine in family vineyards, Georgia has something for everyone. Join us for an adventure tour through one of the most underrated and lesser-known countries in the world.

Common Questions

[ FAQ ]

    1. Who is this trip suitable for?

    If you’re adventurous, open-minded, and excited to immerse in a new culture, this is the trip for you! Also if,

    1. You want to visit Georgia without having to plan

    2. You’re excited to meet like-minded travellers and embrace the unexpected

    3. You want to hike, and explore the Caucasus Mountains, but still come back to a hotel room each night.

    This trip is NOT for you if you

    • You are extremely risk-averse – We do our best to assess the risk and only work with vendors with years of experience and a good track record. However, as the tour involves adventurous outdoor activities, we are at the mercy of the weather, the terrain, and unpredictable accidents. If this scares you, this might not be the right trip for you.

    • You avoid physical activity – If a short flight of stairs leaves you breathless, you might struggle with the hikes and active nature of this trip. A basic level of fitness is required to fully enjoy the experience.

    • You struggle with unpredictability – Plans may shift due to weather or local conditions. If last-minute changes stress you out, this trip may be frustrating for you.

    • You have a ‘customer is always right’ mindset – We do our best to provide an amazing experience, but nature and logistics don’t always cooperate. The priority of our local guides is safety, and our team will not hesitate to take anyone out of the tour if the need arises.

  • We’ll be travelling during the autumn season, with temperatures expected to range between 15–25°C in the day, with nights dropping to about 5, so pack some warm layers! This will depend on the altitude as well as the weather for the day.
