Georgia, a Cultural Walking tour

Georgia, a Cultural Walking tour Overview

Georgia, a Cultural Walking tour, encompasses many facets of this ancient Christian country, set in the Greater Caucasus - mountain walks, ancient stone towers, vineyards below snowy peaks, remote monasteries , Silk Road caravanserais and the Legend of the Golden Fleece. Running in September 2025, this guided holiday has a maximum of 14 guests.

Georgia’s geographical position at the heart of the Greater Caucasus defines its history and culture, placing it at the crossroads of Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East. Invaded over the centuries by the Greeks, Romans, Vikings, Mongols, Persians, Ottoman Turks, Russians, Armenians and even the British (in 1919), Georgians have survived with a very strong sense of their identity, as expressed through their defensive towers, splendid, very early churches and above all, in their love of wine, feasting and their legendary hospitality to visitors.

On a two-week cultural walking tour in September, we explore the old caravanserai district of Tbilisi (an important stage on the Silk Route), visit many beautiful stone-carved churches and monasteries in remote settings, taste wines in vineyards close to the Azerbaijani border and walk in high mountain valleys peppered with ancient stone towers before ending our tour in the ancient - and modern - city of Batumi.
