Местиа и Ушгули — 3 дня в Сванети

How long is this tour and when does it start?

It is a 3-day, 2-night private tour departing Tbilisi at 08:30 or any time you prefer, since every departure is private. You return to your Tbilisi hotel on day 3 in the early evening. The itinerary covers Zugdidi, Mestia, and Ushguli with stops along the way.

What is included and what is not?

Included are the private car and driver, an English-speaking guide, two nights in a boutique guesthouse-hotel in Mestia with breakfast, the 4x4 transfer to Ushguli, and all entrance fees and the cable car. Lunches, dinners, and the optional Tbilisiu2013Mestia flight are not included.

Can we fly to Mestia instead of driving?

Yes, flying is possible weather permitting, and the guide will meet you with the car on arrival. If you fly in, driving back via the Black Sea coast is suggested as a good alternative route for the return.

Is Ushguli accessible in winter?

Usually not by road, as winter conditions typically close the route. In that case the tour is adapted into a ski and snowshoe programme based around Mestia instead.

What is the best season for this trip?

June to October is recommended for reaching Ushguli by road, while winter months suit skiing around Mestia and Hatsvali instead. Warm layers are advised in any month given the altitude in Svaneti.

Is this tour suitable for children or travellers with limited mobility?

The minimum age listed is 1, so young children can join, but note that day 1 involves an 8-9 hour drive and day 2 includes a 4x4 trip to Ushguli with an optional glacier-ward walk. Travellers with limited mobility should consider the long drive and uneven terrain around Ushguli and the glacier walk before booking.

How many people will be on the tour and is it private?

This is a private tour with your own car, driver, and English-speaking guide, not a group tour. The listed price is per person based on two travellers; solo travellers or larger groups are quoted on request.

Where does the tour start and can it begin from Kutaisi or Batumi instead of Tbilisi?

The standard departure is from your hotel in Tbilisi, with collection there. On day 3 the return can be arranged to Kutaisi or Batumi instead of Tbilisi, and starting from Kutaisi or Batumi can likely be arranged on request, so check this when booking.

What should we pack, and what about payment or cancellation terms?

Pack warm layers regardless of the month, since Svaneti sits at high altitude with cool conditions even in summer. The tour text does not specify payment or cancellation policies, so please ask about these directly when booking through the contact form.
