“The best experience we had in Georgia, getting to know the Svaneti and its beautiful people! Ana, was incredibly friendly, professional, and her love for the mountains made our time here absolutely memorable. She expertly adjusted our itinerary based on weather and road conditions, ensuring we made the most of our time. We experienced the quaint towns at our own pace without feeling rushed, yet covering so much of the wonderful mountains. This tour is highly recommend!!”

“We went on this trip with our guide Alex, very nice and caring guy who accompanied us, just the two of us, on this journey. The company he works for organizes trips for private groups (without being mixed with other people), which we really appreciated because we were able to ask him lots of questions and discuss with him. The hike in the mountains was done under a magnificent sun and it was a great pleasure to discover the waterfall, and the landscapes of the region. The city, Mestia, we we slept propose a large choice of guest houses and hotels to spend the night. The two days were very…”

6.2 DAYS IN SVANETI from Kutaisi

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 19 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $146

2 days in Svaneti from Kutaisi with English guidance, air-conditioned rides, Enguri Dam stops, Chalaadi Glacier hiking, and Ushguli towers.

“This tour blends stunning Caucasus landscapes with mixed logistics. Here’s the condensed breakdown: Day 1: Kutaisi → Mestia Starting with a 7:50 AM meetup, the 6-hour drive included quick stops at a dam (viewed distantly) and a small waterfall. In Mestia, we visited a historic tower and museum (extra fees), showcasing medieval Svaneti architecture. The afternoon “glacier hike” was a mountain path with distant snow-capped views, but the guide’s breakneck pace left us breathless—no rest stops until we begged for a pause. Day 2: Ushguli Excursion A 10 AM departure took 1.5 hours to Ushguli, with scenic viewpoint stops. The 2-hour stay (including lunch) offered glimpses of stone towers and…”

“So unfortunate that the end of this trip ruined the whole experience. The drive was gorgeous and the driver very competent (the road is not easy!) however, we only booked a tour to Ushguli and back. Upon reaching Ushguli the driver asks my husband and I if we would also like to go to a glacier and of course we asked how much extra and he said 100 gel for the car. There were 2 other couples (6 of us in total). He never told the others what the price was for the additional visit to the glacier. After returning to Mestia, the driver never asked the other couples for…”

“I had an amazing 4-day trip from Tbilisi to Mestia and Ushguli with Georgia Tour Factory. The tour was the perfect combination of breathtaking nature and fascinating culture. Our guide, Gogita, was absolutely wonderful. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Svaneti region and Georgia’s rich history, and always friendly and attentive. The drive from Tbilisi to Mestia was quite long, but Gogita made sure we were comfortable and entertained throughout the journey. Everything was well-organized, and the experience exceeded my expectations. I truly hope to travel with Georgia Tour Factory again in the near future!”

4-day Svaneti hiking tour from Batumi, with glaciers, Ushguli village, and UNESCO sights. Small group, guesthouses, and most meals included.

“George is both a pro and a fun guy to be around. We checked about doing the hikes by ourselves, but having George around definately enriched our experience with his knowledge and selecting for us the best routes to go to the hikes and back. The hikes themselves were challenging enough while not being too difficult. The main problem we ran into was rain something I was not prepared enough for.”

“The tour overall was great. Gogi, our driver and guide, was magnificent. Accommodating and friendly, answered our questions and made the trip pleasant. However, more info could have been provided before the tour began. I had to reach out to the tour operator in order to find out that we were supposed to find our own accommodation in Mestia. It was also not until the day before the tour (after we have arrived in Georgia) that the operator messaged us telling us to bring boots and warm clothes. This could have been relayed ahead of time, when we were still in our home country packing, not the day before.”
