About this activity

A sweeping 15-hour day tour from Tbilisi that combines ancient history, natural thermal phenomena, and wellness experiences across Georgia's countryside. Explore the 8th–1st century BC temple city of Vani, witness geothermal geysers, and relax in Sairme's mineral-rich hot and cold springs—covering 555 km of diverse Georgian landscapes.

Private full day tour includes visiting Vani Archeological site and museum to explore the exposition that covers the period from the 8th to the 1st century BC depicting the presence of Vani as an ancient temple city, Dikhashkho geysers characterized by healing properties and Sairme balneological resort with hot and cold mineral water springs that cure many diseases. Total drive 555 km (345 miles).

  • Dikhashkho geysers: natural thermal springs with reported therapeutic properties
  • Sairme balneological resort featuring dual mineral water springs (hot and cold)
  • Immersive look at ancient Georgian religious and cultural life
  • Countryside drive through lesser-known regions outside Tbilisi

Insider tips

  • Bring swimwear and a towel if you plan to bathe in the springs—the mineral waters are the highlight for many visitors
  • Start early; the 15-hour duration means you'll return to Tbilisi late, so plan your evening accordingly
  • The geysers are most impressive in cooler months when steam is more visible

Good to know

  • Total distance is 555 km (345 miles) by private vehicle; expect significant time in transit
  • Comfortable walking shoes recommended for museum and geyser exploration
  • Bring sun protection, water, and snacks; facilities at remote sites are limited
  • Private tour format allows flexibility but confirm meeting point and pickup time with supplier the day before
