About the trip

This 11-night escorted tour from Explore Worldwide begins in Tbilisi, where ancient places of worship from several faiths sit within a few minutes' walk, reflecting Georgia’s complex history. A cable car ascends to Narikala Fortress, offering views over the city’s varied rooftops before visits to the sulphur baths and colourful wooden balconies of Old Tbilisi.

The route takes you to Georgian wine country, including a family home lunch where you’ll get hands-on with bread and churchkhela sweets, then to mountain landscapes along the Georgian Military Highway. Highlights here include the 14th-century Holy Trinity Church perched on a hill, with snow-capped Kazbegi just beyond, and a home-cooked lunch preparing succulent dumplings called khinkali.

Crossing into Armenia, you visit Gyumri’s 19th-century black tuff architecture and resilient spirit, then Yerevan’s frescoed Cascade complex and Genocide Memorial. Walks through basalt gorges lead to the Hellenistic Garni Temple and peaceful Geghard Monastery. The final days include local craft demonstrations and a visit to Echmiadzin Cathedral, claimed as the oldest in the world, ending in the Armenian capital with a brandy tasting.
