About the trip
Explore Worldwide's escorted tour covers 15 nights across Armenia and Georgia, starting in Yerevan where Soviet-era buildings stand against Mount Ararat’s backdrop. Early visits include the ruined 7th-century Zvartnots cathedral, a climb to the sun-worshipping Garni Temple via towering basalt cliffs, and Armenian Genocide memorials.
Crossing into Georgia, the itinerary traces the distinct character of Tbilisi with its mosaic of religious sites and sulphur baths. Further stops include the spiritual heart of Mtskheta, wine regions around Imereti and Kakheti with tastings of traditional and natural wines, and a hike to the 14th-century Church of the Holy Trinity above Kazbegi. Mountain roads and monasteries punctuate the journey, alongside historic towns such as Kutaisi and Akhaltsikhe with its fortress.
The tour’s pace blends cultural landmarks and countryside, with meals featuring local specialities such as cheese-stuffed breads and fresh pastries. It ends with time in Tbilisi where the past and present sit side by side, leaving space to take the city’s quirks at your own pace.
