Excursions in Georgia

Discover the beauty of Georgia with our expert guides. Top-rated group and private excursions to mountains, canyons, and historic sites

How the Tour Routes Are Organized

In the catalog above, each destination is a collection of tours built around one location or theme: Makhuntseti waterfall, Martvili canyon, Old Batumi, mountain routes. Inside a destination you will find every format of trip that goes there: group departures by minibus, private programs, combined routes where the location comes bundled with its neighbors. Comparing gets easier this way: first you pick the place, then you decide how to reach it and what to add along the way.

The catalog grows together with the agency's program: new destinations appear as new tours launch. If the place you want is not listed yet, check the where to go from Batumi page or ask us directly, the route is most likely already in the works.

Routes Around Batumi

City destinations are the shortest ones: Piazza square, Europe square, Ali and Nino, the Alphabet tower, the Boulevard and the blocks of Old Batumi. Formally you can walk to each point on your own, but a tour glues them into one story: why the city has an Italian square, where the steel couple of Ali and Nino is looking, and what hides in the courtyards behind the front facades. The Botanical garden on the Green Cape and the Sameba church on the hill belong here too: those are already half-day trips with a transfer.

Routes Around Adjara

The busiest group of destinations. Subtropical gorges begin 30-40 minutes from Batumi: Queen Tamar's bridge and the waterfall in Makhuntseti, Mirveti waterfall with a walk through a boxwood forest, the confluence of the Chorokhi and Adjaristskali rivers, the fortresses of Gvara and Petra. Higher into the mountains sit the Goderdzi alpine botanical garden and highland villages where herds graze at 2000 meters in summer. Most Adjara routes fit into half a day or a day and work well with children: short drives, many stops, honey, wine and chacha tastings on the way.

Longer Routes: Samegrelo, Guria and Beyond

These are full-day trips: Martvili canyon with a boat ride, Prometheus cave with its underground halls, the Nokalakevi hot springs, the magnetic sands of Ureki and Shekvetili dendrological park with its sequoias. The drive takes 1.5-2.5 hours one way, so these destinations usually come combined: canyon plus cave, springs plus Ureki. If you want to go further, to Kutaisi, Tbilisi or Vardzia, see the outbound excursions from Batumi: routes across the whole of Georgia are collected there.

How to Choose a Route

Start from three things: how much time you have, who you are traveling with and what you have already seen.

• First time in Batumi for 3-4 days - take one city walk and one mountain route in Adjara, that is the base almost everyone starts with.
• With children, short Adjara trips with waterfalls and cable cars work better than long drives to Samegrelo.
• Already seen the surroundings - pick the longer destinations or a private tour on a non-standard route: the guide will adjust the program to you.
• Traveling as a company of up to 8 people - a private minivan often costs little more than the group format for everyone.
• Fixed dates - check the schedule of group departures in advance: in high season seats run out days ahead.

Tips Before You Go

• Bring a sweater on mountain routes even in summer: the passes are 10-15 degrees colder than the coast.
• Non-slip shoes are needed on every route with waterfalls and canyons, the paths by the water stay wet all year.
• Carry your passport on longer trips: police sometimes check documents on the highways.
• Cash lari helps in mountain villages: card terminals are rare there, and honey and churchkhela are sold by the road.
• Active travelers should get insurance on polis.ge

  with active leisure coverage: claims are paid out inside Georgia, with no waiting for international transfers.

All Travel Batumi trips are led by certified local guides, and on group routes a separate driver takes the wheel so the guide can focus on the story instead of the switchbacks. How the group format compares on price and program - see the group excursions from Batumi page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a destination and a specific tour?

A destination is a location or theme, and inside it different trip formats are collected: group, private, combined. You open a destination, compare programs and prices, and pick a date that suits you.

Which cities do the tours depart from?

The main starting point is Batumi. On many routes pickup is possible in Kobuleti and along the highway, the details are collected on the excursions from Kobuleti page. Some destinations also have departures from Tbilisi and Kutaisi.

How long does a tour last?

City walks take 2-4 hours, Adjara routes from half a day, and the longer destinations in Samegrelo or southern Georgia take a full day with a morning departure and an evening return.

Do the tours run in winter?

Yes, the city and most Adjara routes run year-round. Highland destinations like Goderdzi depend on the state of the passes in winter, so it is better to confirm the schedule for specific dates before booking.

What if the destination I want is not in the catalog?

Write to us: the catalog keeps growing, and for most places in Georgia there is already a ready program or a private option. A route can often be put together for you within a day of messaging.
