Travel Caucasus your way
The Caucasus mountains have some excellent multi-day hikes that range from laid-back village walks to proper glacier climbs. Our most popular route takes you through medieval Svaneti where old stone watchtowers still stand guard - you'll walk 4-5 hours daily covering 10-14km at a comfortable pace. If you're up for something more challenging, the Mount Shkhara glacier route follows the Enguri River to its source on an 18km round trip. We've got several tours that mix hiking with local culture, combining walks in Martvili Canyon and Lagodekhi National Park with nights in mountain villages. The Ushba waterfall trek lets you choose your challenge - stop at the base for a rest or push on up steep trails for fantastic valley views. Our travelers often mention how much they like having options, with tours offering both gentle valley walks and more demanding high-altitude routes near Mount Kazbek.
See all Hiking & Trekking toursOur Georgia and Azerbaijan tours blend outdoor activities with real cultural experiences. Many routes go through the Chaukhi Mountains where you'll find perfect hiking conditions among wildflower meadows and flowing rivers. Down on the Batumi coast, you can kayak Lake Sevan or explore subtropical beaches. We arrange stays in remote villages like Becho and Ushguli where you'll often help locals with their daily farming work. Our customers love the 4x4 trips through Truso Gorge and up to hidden mountain churches. These trips stand out because you're active but also deeply involved in local life - one day you might learn traditional copper crafting in Lahij village, the next you're hiking to ancient rock art in Qobustan.
See all Active toursExplore a wide diversity of coach / bus tours through Caucasus. We have 8 adventures that vary from 5 days to 20 days. With the greatest number of departures in September, this is also the most popular time of the year.
See all Coach / Bus toursOur explorer tours really get you into the heart of the Caucasus, going well beyond surface-level sightseeing. There's this excellent route that follows the old Silk Road through Azerbaijan and Georgia - you'll check out ancient rock art at Qobustan before heading up into the mountain regions. If you want to focus just on Georgia, we've got a great option that lets you cook with local families, walk through the pristine forests of Lagodekhi National Park and climb up to these incredible churches tucked away high in the Caucasus. Our travelers tell us they love how we mix planned activities with free time, so they can properly take in each place they visit. Most tours include nights in those traditional tower houses in Mestia and time in UNESCO-listed Mtskheta, while the more adventurous routes push into Armenia where you'll explore old monasteries and get hands-on with local wine making.

"I want to start with a shout out to our exemplary guide Giorgio. He was well informed, super efficient, and above all, patient. I was not the easiest client - being 22 years older than the next oldest participant, but, Giorgio never let me feel I was a drag, always helped me over the rocky bits, included me and was the epitome of kindness and consideration. The trip was great. Good diversity of days - some energetic, some less so. All the hotels were super comfortable and so was our little mini bus. The sites we saw were all interesting and beautiful and the scenary was amazing. The history of the region is dense and complex and I need to do more reading to appreciate what I saw. It would be useful to have a more extensive reading list. We were a small group of 4. There were no fights - that I know of! And we all collaborated well, and took an in depth appreciation of what we saw and heard. I think my highlight was the small group of musicians we saw and heard in Telavi. Truly beautiful a capella singing. Personally I could have done with a bit more ‘shopping time’, especially for fabrics and rugs, but that’s just a motivation to go back again!

"The tour was good overall, but there wasn't much to do in Mestia and Ushguli other than the hikes, which I would have enjoyed more if they hadn't been quite so difficult. And the roads to get to these destinations were rather treacherous and would have been even more so if the weather had been bad. I know we all agreed to go an excursion to an abandoned solarium near Kutaisi, but IMO, it was a waste of time, even though our guide highly recommended it.

"A very well organized trip with good guides! Unfortunately a bit heavy on monasteries and churches. Instead, you could also include brutalist architecture (which is just as much a part of these cultures) and abandoned copper mines, for example.

Demographics
Our solo travelers really connect with the small group wine tours through Georgia. You'll join 4-8 other explorers and stay in family guesthouses where the hosts treat you like one of their own. The cultural walks through Pankisi Valley are a customer favorite - local guides your age share their family stories and traditions while you explore together. In Azerbaijan, we've got this great route through old villages like Lahij where you'll sit down with local artisans to make yogurt and share stories over tea. Solo travelers tell us they love how the Georgia discovery tours give them freedom to wander Tbilisi's old streets on their own, with an expert guide nearby when needed.
Our premium tours across Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan hit just the right notes for couples. You'll stay in converted mansions with views of Tbilisi's presidential palace and enjoy private dinners with winemaking families who've been crafting wines for generations in Kakheti. The mountain tours in Georgia add a romantic touch - think cozy guesthouses overlooking Mt Kazbegi and intimate tastings of house-made wines and brandies. Couples tell us they love how we handle all the planning while giving them space to linger at cafes, take detours or discover their own special spots along the way.
Active young travelers love our hiking tours that mix serious trekking with local culture. You'll tackle real challenges like the 2,170-meter climb to Gergeti Trinity Church and explore the medieval villages of Svaneti on foot. The trips include nights in mountain communities where you'll try your hand at traditional felt-making and join in authentic polyphonic singing. Georgia's hiking routes are especially popular - you get solid walking days mixed with cool dips in mountain streams and relaxing soaks in Tbilisi's sulfur baths. Young travelers tell us these trips hit the sweet spot: proper hiking combined with hands-on experiences like making churchkhela sweets and learning Georgian bread-making from local families.
Our well-paced heritage tours really resonate with senior travelers. We've carefully chosen hotels near main sites and comfortable transport between stops. The Azerbaijan and Georgia route is particularly popular, taking in UNESCO treasures like Gobustan's ancient rock art and Georgia's first capital Mtskheta. The guides know exactly how to adjust the pace, making sure everyone can fully experience key sites like Gergeti Trinity Church - we've got 4WD vehicles ready for the steeper parts. Senior travelers often mention how much they enjoy the cultural side: learning traditional crafts, exploring local markets and meeting families who share stories of winemaking passed down through generations.

Spring works incredibly well for exploring the Caucasus, with our most requested tours really coming into their own. The full Azerbaijan-Georgia-Armenia circuit gets great feedback from our customers, especially when they catch the mountain passes filled with spring wildflowers. People love exploring the ancient petroglyphs at Qobustan before moving into Georgia's wine country as the first vines start budding. There's also a focused Georgia cultural tour where you'll cook with local families, visit Kakheti's wineries and see mountain communities preparing for farming season. Our 12-day three-country tour stands out for deep cultural connections - travelers particularly enjoy the spring festivals and learning how locals make wine in traditional qvevri clay vessels.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Autumn brings harvest time and our most popular tours focus on wine and food experiences. The Georgia wine regions cultural tour lets you join the traditional rtveli grape harvest and learn winemaking from local families. Our premium three-country journey really shines in fall - you'll see Armenia's monasteries surrounded by red and gold leaves, experience Azerbaijan's harvest festivals in mountain villages and join Georgia's wine country at its busiest. Our travelers tell us they love joining cooking classes with local families, learning to make Georgian bread and helping prepare harvest meals. The Georgia-Azerbaijan combo tour fits perfectly in autumn, with ideal weather for exploring Tbilisi's old quarter and visiting mountain communities preparing for winter. Among the Caucasus tour operators, Intrepid really delivers with solid itineraries that work well - their guides know the region inside out and our travelers consistently give them high marks. If you're looking at Georgia specifically, Glad Travel Georgia gets lots of love on TourRadar, especially from people traveling solo. They're quite flexible with customizing trips and making adjustments to suit different needs. Tour Georgia has had mixed feedback lately - they're not quite hitting the consistent quality levels you get with Intrepid. For Armenia specifically, The Caucasus Tours is doing great work, and their guide Mariam is particularly good. She knows Armenian history, culture and hidden spots in depth, and she shares it all with genuine enthusiasm. The thing about getting around the Caucasus is you really want an operator who understands the local dynamics and logistics. That's where companies like Intrepid and The Caucasus Tours shine - they've got those practical details sorted while keeping the cultural experiences authentic. Just keep in mind that in this region, having a knowledgeable guide makes a huge difference - it's not just about getting from A to B but understanding the complex history, traditions and also current situation in each area you visit.
