Georgia on Leisure — 5 Days: Tbilisi, Kazbegi & Kakheti
Overview
Five relaxed days from a single Tbilisi hotel: the capital on foot, a day up the Military Highway to Kazbegi, a day in Kakheti wine country with a supra, and a free day for the baths, the markets or a cooking class. No packing and unpacking, late starts, long lunches.
Highlights
Is this trip for you?
- A long weekend from Europe or the Gulf
- Travellers who hate changing hotels
- Winter visitors — this one runs all year
- You want the west of the country (Batumi, Svaneti)
- You prefer to be on the move every day
Our honest opinion
- Two of the three best day trips in Georgia from one base
- Late starts
- Kazbegi is a 6-hour round trip
- Tbilisi hotels are expensive in high season
In winter the Kazbegi pass occasionally closes; we swap in Mtskheta and Uplistsikhe and tell you the night before.

Traveller reviews
What guests wrote
“Long weekend from Dubai. One hotel in old Tbilisi, a day to Kazbegi, a day in wine country, a free day for the baths. Late starts, long lunches, no stress. The guide, Giorgi, was excellent company. Already planning the 9-day.”
“Perfetto per un primo assaggio della Georgia. Il passo per Kazbegi era aperto a marzo, la chiesa di Gergeti nella neve era uno spettacolo. Khinkali ogni giorno.”
Good to know
Most nationalities enter Uzbekistan visa-free for 30–90 days. If your passport needs an e-visa, it takes 2–3 working days online — we check your case and guide you at booking.
The local currency is the Uzbek som (UZS). Visa and Mastercard work in city hotels, restaurants and supermarkets; keep some cash for bazaars, taxis and tips. ATMs dispense som and sometimes USD.
April–June and September–November are warm and clear — ideal for walking the old cities. July–August afternoons exceed 35°C; winter departures run at reduced prices.
Uzbekistan uses European plug types C and F, 220V. Travellers from the UK, US and Asia need a standard Euro adapter — one per device is enough, hotels have plenty of sockets.
Everyday dress is relaxed across all four cities. Inside mosques and madrasas, shoulders and knees should be covered; headscarves for women are only needed in a few active mosques — your guide will tell you when.
Your included eSIM is activated on arrival, so you’re online from the airport. Hotel Wi-Fi is reliable in all four cities; your coordinator stays reachable on WhatsApp or Telegram throughout.
Free cancellation up to 30 days before departure. 50% refund up to 15 days before; after that the booking is non-refundable, but you can move to another date once for free.
Medical insurance for the tour days is included. We still recommend personal travel insurance covering cancellation and baggage — we can suggest trusted providers.
