Full description
You will depart from Tbilisi early in the morning, in the direction of Kazbegi. On the way, there will be some very interesting places to visit. Ananuri Fortified Castle Ensemble is a sixteenth-century castle complex on the Aragvi River. The fortress stands beside the famous Georgian Military Highway, overlooking the large Jinvali Lake. Its high, turreted stone walls protect two churches, a watchtower, and a reservoir. The main church facade is beautifully carved with animal, floral and Celtic-style patterns. The next stop is Gudauri, a remarkable ski resort in Georgia. The resort is 7,217 feet (2,200 meters) above sea level. The first lower lift station is at 6528 feet (1,990 meters ) above sea level and the last, or top, station is at a 3,306-meter called summit Sadzele. The resort offers high-quality skiing opportunities, with the ski season lasting from December through April. From Gudauri, you'll continue your trip to Gergeti Trinity Church. At an altitude of 7,119 feet (2,170 meters), the twelfth or thirteenth-century monument was erected on the southern slopes of Mkinvarcveri. Gergeti Trinity Church is an important temple, remarkable for its beautiful scenery. The Gergeti Trinity Church is set poignantly on a hill directly below the towering white massif of Mount Kazbek, which sits at 5,033 meters.

Visited during the 1st week of December, the weather is cold and nice. There is already snow in the mountains and it was perfect weather for paragliding. The view is amazing. Out guide Khatuna introduced us to amazing tourists attractions and very knowledgeable about Georgian history and the way she explains it is making the history more interesting. She is very warm and friendly making the tour comfortable. I would definitely recommend this tour for everyone visiting Georgia. You’ll have the best view of the mountains and don’t miss the chance to go paragliding!

We booked a private tour for 3 people to visit Kazbegi, Stepantsminda, and Gudauri. Our guide was Aleksi and he was great! Very informational, friendly, talkative and very fun! He was on time in picking us up in our Tbilisi hotel, he took really great photos of us and he accommodated our request to drop us off in our hotel in Stepantsminda. I would give this experience 5/5.

Very beautiful & picturesque places on this tour. We went in August and the weather was quite pleasant! But, I must say, the experience is made better by the amazing tour guide Alex - he is very knowledgeable, kind & patient (he is an excellent photographer as well and must have taken over 50 pictures for us) Would definitely recommend this tour if you’re visiting Georgia!
