From Kutaisi: Gori and Uplistsikhe Cave Town Guided Tour｜Georgia

Discover Georgia's fascinating history on a small-group day trip from Kutaisi, exploring the ancient cave city of Uplistsikhe and Gori, a city whose rich heritage extends far beyond being Stalin's birthplace.

Step back more than 2,000 years as you explore Uplistsikhe, an extraordinary city carved into the rocky hills overlooking the Mtkvari River. Wander through ancient streets, rock-cut chambers, ceremonial spaces and a historic wine cellar while learning about the city's importance as a religious and trading centre. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding valley.

Continue to Gori, where a guided walking tour reveals a different side of the city. Discover its medieval heritage, historic landmarks and impressive hilltop fortress, viewed from below, while hearing stories about Georgian history and local life. The tour does not include climbing up to the fortress.

Visit the Stalin Museum complex to explore the life and legacy of one of the 20th century's most controversial figures. See historical photographs, documents and personal belongings, the preserved house where Stalin was born, and his private armoured railway carriage, used for important journeys during World War II.

Along the way, enjoy a coffee break and time for lunch at a local restaurant, where you can try traditional Georgian dishes.

With a maximum of 7 travellers, this small-group tour offers a relaxed, personal atmosphere and plenty of opportunities to ask questions, interact with your local guide and discover Georgia's history beyond the usual tourist experience.
