After the Capital of Georgia, we will visit old capital city Mtskheta

Archeological evidences trace human settlement in the area of Mtskheta from 2nd millennium BC to early 1st millennium AD. Numerous burials of the Bronze Age (beginning of the 1st millennium BC) prove that Mtskheta already was a significant settlement at that period. Mtskheta was the capital of the early Georgian Kingdom of Iberia from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century AD.

Customer Reviews

Margaret J. Jackson Margaret J. Jackson
The tour is a very good itinerary for an introduction to the Caucus countries and the delivery was well done. The tour guides in Georgia (Saba) and Armenia (Narine) we’re excellent, informative, passionate, and engaging. A couple days of disappointments: the tour guide in Azerbaijan was not only involved or interested. He did not handle one difficult tourist properly or professionally. Also, the cost of the COVID test was not included or paid by the tour even though it was an absolute requirement to reenter Georgia to complete the tour. The tourists should be reimbursed for the cost of the COVID test.

Aram, guide from Armenia, was very knowledgeable and hospitable. Together with the driver, they made the visit to Armenia memorable. Nika, guide from Georgia, was very helpful and he would go out of his way to ensure that the visit went smoothly. Overall, a great visit. Thank you very much, Sakura!
