Funny Travel Georgia · 1 Galaktion Tabidze St, Tbilisi
A 12-hour day trip from Tbilisi to Ananuri, Gudauri and Stepantsminda, with one big extra: you can stay in Kazbegi or Gudauri and come back with a scheduled group on the day that suits you. Pick it if one day in the mountains feels too short.
You meet at 1 Galaktion Tabidze Street in central Tbilisi and board a modern air-conditioned minibus with luggage compartments, which matters on this tour. The listing gives clear times at each stop: about 20 minutes at the Zhinvali Reservoir for photos and the restroom, then about 45 minutes at Ananuri after the guide's introduction to the fortress and its churches. A lunch stop at a traditional Georgian restaurant follows.
In Gudauri you visit a local honey producer and then the Friendship Monument, with about 45 minutes to walk around. In Stepantsminda you can switch to a 4WD up to Gergeti Trinity Church for 20 GEL per person and spend about 30 minutes at the church below Mount Kazbek (5,054 m, Georgia Travel). Then comes the real reason to book: stay on in Kazbegi or Gudauri for one night or several, and ride back to Tbilisi with one of the scheduled groups on the day you choose.
Included: the guide, the minibus, all the stops and the honey producer visit. Lunch is not included; each guest pays for their own meal, and the listing warns that most restaurants in Georgia add a service fee of 8 to 18% to the bill. Your room is yours to book. Plan on about 12 hours if you go there and back in a day. A friendly tip: guests who stayed wrote that the return is arranged on WhatsApp with a time, a place and the vehicle's plate number, and that it leaves in the evening.
The first stop on the Military Road: turquoise water, photos and a restroom.
An introduction from the guide, then free time on the grounds above the reservoir.
An optional local lunch, paid by each guest. A service fee is often added.
Taste mountain honey at a local producer, then walk round the Friendship Monument.
The optional 4WD from Stepantsminda for 20 GEL per person, up to the church below Kazbek.
Ride back with the group, or stay on and join a later group on the day you pick.
