Tbilisi Transfer
89 kilometers and a little over an hour from Tbilisi, and you're in a pagan world dating back to the 1st millennium BC. Near the town of Gori sits Uplistsikhe, one of the oldest towns on Georgian territory, carved entirely out of volcanic rock, and in Gori itself, a medieval fortress overlooking the confluence of two rivers.
A medieval fortress on a rocky hill right above the town center, with construction dating back to the 6th century. From its walls you get a view over the confluence of the Liakhvi and Mtkvari rivers and the whole town of Gori — the climb up takes 15-20 minutes.
One of the earliest towns on Georgian territory, mentioned in written sources as far back as the 1st millennium BC. At its peak, it held over 700 rock-carved chambers — halls, streets, wine cellars, and a pagan temple where rituals were held before Christianity arrived. Today around 150 caves are open to visitors, and the site ranks among the most significant archaeological monuments in the Caucasus.
The Tbilisi–Gori–Uplistsikhe–Tbilisi loop fits comfortably into one day: roughly an hour's drive each way and 3-4 hours on site. We provide the car class you need — from an economy sedan to a minivan for a group — at a flat trip price with no time pressure while you explore. On the way back, your driver can point you to a good place to eat in Gori.
Usually a full day, leaving Tbilisi in the morning and returning in the evening — around 7-8 hours including driving and sightseeing at both sites.
Yes, if you'd prefer a shorter trip, just tell us when booking and we'll quote a route to Uplistsikhe only.
No, tickets are sold on-site and there are usually no queues outside peak season.
The site is fairly large with uneven ground and some climbs — expect a moderate level of physical activity. The main viewpoints are reachable without difficult staircases.
