What's included in the EUR 170 price?

The tour includes transportation, a full day of guided exploration covering Telavi, Sighnaghi, Lagodekhi, and Akhtala, plus monastery and town visits. Lunch, wine tastings, and entrance fees to some sites are not included.

How much driving is there, and how is it distributed?

Expect approximately 335 km (205 miles) over the 12 hours. This includes multiple scenic stops and walking through towns; roughly 5–6 hours of actual vehicle time split across morning and afternoon segments.

Will we visit wineries or have wine tastings?

Wine tastings are not part of the standard itinerary, but the tour passes through Kakheti's wine country. Many suppliers can arrange optional private winery visits with advance notice.

What should I wear and bring?

Wear comfortable walking shoes, layers (mornings are cool, afternoons warm), and modest clothing for monastery visits. Bring sunscreen, water, a light jacket, and cash for meals and local purchases.

Is this suitable for families with children?

Yes, though the long driving day (12 hours total) suits children aged 8+ best. Younger children may find the duration challenging; consider the mix of active exploration and vehicle time when booking.

How far is this from Tbilisi, and what time do we start?

Kakheti is 60–80 km east of Tbilisi. Most tours depart early morning (typically 7–8 am) to maximize daylight and return by evening. Confirm exact pickup time with the supplier.

our guide Mei sorted everything for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight. First thing in the morning so it wasnt too busy. For our anniversary, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.
