The sulphur-bath domes of Abanotubani below Narikala fortress in old Tbilisi

01of 06Tbilisi

Start in the old city, slowly.

Sulphur-bath domes, carved wooden balconies and courtyards that open onto wine bars. Most routes begin here because the main airport and the roads out to every region are here, so the first evening stays light: a walk, a long dinner, a plan for the morning.

Tbilisi sits on the Mtkvari river and is the hub for roads east, west and north.

Vineyards at Akhasheni in Kakheti beneath the Greater Caucasus

02of 06Kakheti

Drive east into wine country.

Over the Gombori pass, vineyards run beneath the Greater Caucasus. Kakheti is the heart of Georgian wine, where grapes are still fermented in buried clay qvevri, a method on UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage. Walk the walls of Sighnaghi, visit the Tsinandali estate, and settle in for a long lunch.

Telavi is also the gateway to Tusheti, so the next stop starts here.

03of 06Tusheti

Then over the Abano Pass.

From the Alazani valley a dirt road climbs to the Abano Pass, at about 2,850 m, and drops into Tusheti: stone villages, slate towers and summer pastures with no through traffic. It is a 4×4-only road, and one of the reasons the fleet includes a 4×4 Sprinter.

Snow decides when the road opens each year, so Tusheti days are planned around the season.

04of 06Imereti

Cross to the green west.

Over the Likhi range the landscape softens into Imereti. Kutaisi is the base for Gelati Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Prometheus Cave and the canyons of Martvili and Okatse, with khachapuri imeruli to finish the day.

05of 06Svaneti

Up to the towers of Svaneti.

The road follows the Enguri gorge from Zugdidi up to Mestia, the heart of Upper Svaneti, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its medieval defensive towers. Further on, Ushguli sits at about 2,100 m beneath Shkhara, the highest peak in Georgia.

Finish at the sea.

Palms, subtropical gardens and the Black Sea after days in the mountains. Batumi’s seafront boulevard and the Botanical Garden at Green Cape make an easy last day before the flight home.

Distances and times are typical, without stops. Your pace sets the real day.

Your turn

That was one route.
Yours will be different.

Add a week in the mountains, drop the sea, spend a night in Svaneti. Rezo builds the route around you, schedules every day and prices it himself.

This is a sample. Nothing here is a fixed package, and no price is shown until Rezo has planned your trip.

Not a package.
A conversation.

Most agencies hand you a brochure itinerary. Rezo starts with a blank map and your own words, then plans the journey around you.

  1. 01

    Tell Rezo what you want

    Pick what draws you — wine, mountains, old churches, the sea — or simply write a few lines. No need to know the map.

  2. 02

    Rezo plans your journey

    He works out the route day by day and hour by hour: distances, roads, pace, vehicle, stays — and the price, by himself.

  3. 03

    Review it privately

    You receive a personal link with the map, the daily schedule, what’s included and a quotation written by Rezo, not generated.

  4. 04

    Change it until it’s right

    Ask for another night in the mountains or a slower day. Rezo revises the plan and the price. Confirm when you’re happy.

Technology helps us keep track. It never replaces Rezo. Every itinerary and every price is reviewed and approved by him before you see it, and nothing is final until he says so.

Where do you want to wake up?

You don’t need to know the map. Pick what moves you and Rezo connects the dots.

About the vehicles

Accessible travel, planned honestly.

One of our Sprinters is wheelchair-accessible. For every request, Rezo talks through your needs first, then checks each stop before it goes into your itinerary. If something isn’t possible, he’ll say so — and suggest what is.

Accessible travel in Georgia

Where the road gets interesting.

A shorter 4×4 Sprinter and Rezo’s knowledge of Georgia’s back roads open up mountain valleys, high passes and villages that ordinary vans leave out. Road and weather conditions shape every mountain plan.

Questions travellers ask

Do you sell fixed tour packages?

No. Every journey is designed for the person who asks for it. The example journeys on this site are starting points; route, pace, vehicle and price are all set by Rezo for you.

How is the price worked out?

Rezo calculates it himself from your route, dates, group size, vehicle and the experiences you choose. You see a clear quotation with what is included and excluded. It changes if the plan changes, and nothing is final until Rezo has approved it. No price is shown on this website because there is no fixed package to price.

Can I change the plan once I’ve seen it?

Yes. Ask on your private itinerary page or by message. Rezo revises the schedule and the price, and you can compare each version.

Can you travel with wheelchair users or people with limited mobility?

We have a wheelchair-accessible Sprinter. Rezo talks through your needs first and confirms what is possible for each place and day before you commit. If something is not possible he will say so and suggest what is.

How soon will I hear back?

Rezo reads every request himself and replies personally. We don’t promise instant answers, we promise a personal one.

How do I reserve and pay?

Sending a request is free and is not a booking. Nothing is booked and nothing is charged until you and Rezo agree on the plan. He then confirms availability and explains the next steps and payment terms with you directly.
