Long ago, ancient civilizations thrived in the mountains of Georgia. Not much is known about them today, but they left many mysterious "cyclopean" ruins scattered around this lush, remote plateau -- dwellings, fortresses, sacred sites, stone circles, and petroglyph inscriptions. Join me for a day trip to these fascinating relics of an enigmatic past and let your imagination wander.


Many alternative routes and sites available -- inquire for possibilities!

Tour Important Information

* This tour involves a certain amount of walking on uneven terrain. Most of the neolithic sites do not have paths leading to them. We will pass through open, stony ground for the most part. Please be prepared with appropriate footwear and clothing.

* Access to parts of certain complexes (not required) can involve scrambling on rocks. You are responsible for your own safety.

* Good weather is not guaranteed -- please be prepared in case of rain. I will monitor the weather and advise what you should be prepared for.

Note: winter months (January-March) may render certain site inaccessible due to snow cover. Please inquire for latest conditions.

About Tour Guide Timothy M.

I am an American who has been living in Georgia for more than ten years, and I've spent much of that time exploring the most remote and obscure corners of Georgia, visiting countless out-of-the-way villages and forgotten heritage sites. I offer fully bespoke travel experiences for individuals or small groups who are interested in seeing more of Georgia than the mainstream touristic sites. Whether it's discovering ancient fortresses and monasteries, trekking along lonely ridges, offroading in remote deserts, cultural experiences with local families, tea and wine tastings, or whatever else you might be interested in, I create unforgettable journeys in Georgia for you.


Daytrips and multi-day adventures both available. All trips are fully customizable according to your interests. Sample itineraries are listed as daytrips from Tbilisi, but all possibilities can be combined and altered; message me to inquire about details.
