Private tour from Tbilisi to Mtskheta, Gori Stalin Museum, and Uplistsikhe cave city, with hotel pickup and English guide.

“I really wanted to just go to the Stalin Museum but this tour had a few add-ons as well. I was pleasantly surprised with the Uplistsikhe caves! They were really well preserved and in tact unlike some of the other ruins you go to in some countries where you have to "imagine" what used to be there. We were able to climb around in the caves and I enjoyed the wine tasting as well!

Private day trip from Tbilisi to Chiatura, the Stalin Museum in Gori, old cableways, and Katskhi Pillar for Soviet-history and views.

“Ropeways and views in Chiatura are very nice. The town still has a Soviet feel while Tskaltubo is a special place as well with awesome abandoned buildings. I saw many of them and they are in very poor condition although very interesting. Thank you”

3.Day Tour to Mtskheta, Gori (Stalin museum) and Uplistsikhe

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $95

Day trip from Tbilisi to Mtskheta, Gori (Stalin Museum) and Uplistsikhe with pickup, air-conditioned car, and guided pacing.

“This was not a “tour”. This was a guy - Misha (only know his name from the booking!) - who picked us up at our hotel (late) and quite literally just drove us to only 3 of the 4 stops mentioned in the “tour” and dropped us off at each site. We did not go to Gori Fortress which was supposed to be a stop. He made no offer of water all day. No conversation, no description, no telling us where we were… He spoke very little English and made zero attempt to talk. It was complete silence from min he picked us up to the end of the day.…”
