Just a starting point — in Tripw the whole group adds ideas, votes and rearranges the days together.

  1. Day 1

    Tbilisi: the old town

    The cable car up to Narikala fortress, a walk down through the old town, and a private room at the sulfur baths for the group.

  2. Day 2

    Tbilisi: markets and a supra

    The Dry Bridge flea market, the Fabrika complex, and a supra in the evening — a Georgian feast with every dish on the table.

    Drive north with stops at Ananuri fortress and the Gudauri viewpoint, and up to Gergeti Trinity Church facing Mount Kazbek.

  4. Day 4

    A mountain hike

    A trail to suit the group's fitness — the Juta valley or the viewpoints around Stepantsminda — and back to Tbilisi by evening.

  5. Day 5

    Kakheti: wine country

    Sighnaghi, a hilltop town facing the Caucasus, and a family winery with traditional qvevri wine and a village meal.

  6. Day 6

    Mtskheta and the flight

    Jvari Monastery and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in the ancient capital, half an hour from Tbilisi, then to the airport.

Tips for traveling as a group

A driver and a minibus

In Georgia it's common and affordable to hire a driver with a minibus for day trips. Mountain roads are winding, and drivers know every stop.

Order less than you think

Portions are big and meant for sharing. Khachapuri, khinkali and salads for the middle — you can always order more.

Cash for the villages

Cards work almost everywhere in Tbilisi, but small wineries and villages prefer cash in lari.

Layers for the mountains

Kazbegi is colder than Tbilisi even in summer. Add it to the shared packing list so nobody forgets.

Plan it together in Tripw

One shared itinerary

Everyone sees the same plan, day by day — times, places and flights in one place.

Decide with polls

Restaurant or museum? Open a poll in the trip, let everyone vote and move on.

Split the expenses

Log who paid for what as you go, in any currency, and see who owes whom at the end.

Plan with AI

Get a first draft of the days, then edit it together.

Questions

Do Israelis need a visa for Georgia?

At the moment Israeli passport holders enter Georgia visa-free for long stays. Since 2024 travel health insurance is required — check the current rules before you fly.

When is the best time to visit Georgia?

Late spring and early autumn are pleasant in the city and the mountains, and September–October is also harvest season. In winter, Gudauri and Bakuriani are open for skiing.

Rent a car or hire a driver?

For a group, a driver. Driving in Georgia is demanding, and a driver with a minibus often costs less than several rental cars and fuel — and everyone gets to enjoy the view.

Is Georgia good for a family trip?

Very. Distances are short, the food goes down well with kids, and there are parks, cable cars and easy walks. Leave more downtime between drives.
