Greetings, traveler! My name is Timothy Merkel and I offer unique tours around the Republic of Georgia.

Most tour companies in Georgia take people to the same most popular destinations. The popular destinations are beautiful and interesting and always nice to include in a visit, but Georgia is an incredibly diverse country with literally thousands of places to explore. That’s why I love taking people on trips to the fascinating places nobody else knows about. If you’re the kind of person who’s interested in getting off Georgia’s beaten track and having an adventurous, personal experience with the country, feel free to get in touch. I’ll take you on a unique adventure which will be personalized according to your own particular interests.

My tours and daytrips are suitable not just for tourists experiencing Georgia for the first time, but also longer-term residents and more frequent visitors who are interested in exploring Georgia in a new and different way. If you prefer to be independent or self-guided in your travels, I can simply help you plan your own itineraries; otherwise, I’m here to be your guide, driver, translator, and whatever else you need for your adventures in Georgia. All you need to bring is your visions and your sense of wonder – I’ll take care of everything else.

What can you experience while traveling with me? What makes my trips in Georgia different from anything else you can find? That’s what this website is here to answer. But if you just want to get in touch directly, you can contact me via phone, WhatsApp, or Telegram at +995598411778, check out my personal Instagram @tiresias.monk, or email me at timothy@timothystours.ge. If you have any questions that you can’t find the answers to here, don’t hesitate to reach out; I’ll be happy to help out.

This pages of this site offer descriptions and pictures of some of the different ways to experience Georgia, as well as the diversity of its many different regions. So relax, take your time and wander through the different sections at your own pace. Whether you are a photographer, hiker, musician, tea lover, history nerd, or just a human being wanting to experience something different, Georgia and I have something interesting to show you. Let’s create your custom tour of Georgia together.
