Questions

**Is this tour private or does it join other travellers?**
Private throughout. One car, one driver and one guide for your party for all three days.

**What happens if Gergeti Trinity Church is closed by weather?**
We substitute time in [Stepantsminda](https://gtour.ge/georgia/stepantsminda/) and the valley viewpoints; the church access depends on the day and is checked at booking, not guaranteed.

**Can we change the hotel category?**
Yes. We quote alternatives at booking; the €790 figure assumes a 4-star double room for two travelling together.

**Do we need a 4×4 for this itinerary?**
A sedan or minivan covers [Tbilisi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/tbilisi/), [Mtskheta](https://gtour.ge/georgia/mtskheta/) and Kakheti. For Gergeti Trinity Church, a local 4×4 jeep is used for the final stretch and paid on site if the track requires it.

Prices are per person for two travelling together, in euros; solo travellers and larger groups are quoted on request. Every departure is private and adjusted to you. Hotels, wineries and restaurants on our routes are [verified by GTour](/verified/).
