My Tours in Georgia: How it Works

Each of my tours is a uniquely planned experience, so I don’t have a preset list of trips and costs – although you can check out some sample itineraries for an idea of what a day might look like. Rather than take everyone to the same place, I prefer to give everyone their own specific taste of the fascinating diversity Georgia has to offer. Every trip with me starts with a discussion about your interests. Based on what I learn about you, or working with specific suggestions or requests of yours, we will plan out a trip which will hopefully be as exciting and rewarding for you as possible. You can be as much or as little involved as you like – I’m happy to plan everything based on general outlines, or we can make a detailed itinerary based on your specific desires.

In general, my prices start at $150 for a day trip from Tbilisi and $180 per day for an overnight trip outside Tbilisi. Various factors could affect a final quote; these figures in general don’t include incidental expenses, so for example I may need to ask clients to cover the costs of my overnight stay in certain locations. Of course, all costs will be arranged transparently and without any surprises – I’ll work out everything beforehand and let you know the plan for final approval. Additionally, I will likely need to make a higher quote for larger groups (more than 3 people) that won’t fit in the Jimny. However, since my pricing is per trip, not per person, the cost should balance out for you. Finally, certain circumstances could allow me to offer a discount – if the prices are a little out of reach for you, let me know and we might be able to arrange something. In general, I will try to create the best experience possible based on your own particular wishes for your trips or tours in Georgia; I’ll work with you to give you the best value for the amount you are able to spend on your custom trip.

If you prefer to travel on your own, have your own means of transportation, or otherwise don’t need a driver, guide, or translator, I also offer a simple trip planning service, helping you work out your own itineraries across Georgia. We can make a video call, where I will help you identify the destinations and activities most interesting for you and provide you with local contacts as needed; I will also include a follow-up email with a summary of what we discussed. I charge a fairly symbolic price for this, starting at $20 for the first session. I can also offer a higher tier of travel assistance, making detailed arrangements for your entire trip, arranging accommodations and being on the line as a translator for the duration of your travel – price subject to arrangement. Feel free to get in touch if this sounds like something that could be interesting to you.
