Meeting Point
Kojori town center
- Take a public bus to Kojori and meet the local guide at the Kojori town center and start the hike to Udzo Monastery, offering amazing views. We won't be using transportation, only our feet
Udzo Monastery
The medieval church of St. George of Udzo was built by a man who had no children (Udzeo means "childless" in Georgian). He prayed to St. George for a child, and his wish was granted. Afterwards, childless women would visit the church to pray. The name "Udzeo" eventually came to refer both to the mountain and the church. On the Tuesday after Easter, Udzo’s Day is celebrated, when residents from nearby villages gather to mark the occasion.
Shopping for a picnic at the store
We'll have some time to get snacks and drinks to have a small picnic in the nearby park or later in the woods
Remnants of the Kojori fortress
This fortress had many names over the centuries. Locals call it Korogli Fortress. This name has been established since the 18th century. The famous geographer of the XVIII century Vakhushti Bagrationi calls Kojori Fortress Azeula.
Kojori Fortress is built on a high mountain peak of volcanic origin that makes it difficult for the enemy to reach and conquer it. This fortress had a great strategic importance for feudal Georgia.
Kojori has long been considered the abbey of Georgian kings.

“Our second tour with Nini, this time to Mtskheta by van, was just as fantastic ”
Our second tour with Nini, this time to Mtskheta by van, was just as fantastic as the first one. Nini was extremely attentive throughout the entire tour, and the driver was excellent — very professional, careful, and friendly. Everything was perfectly organized and stress-free. She took us to stunning historical sites such as Jvari Monastery and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, explaining their importance in a clear and passionate way. Nini also showed us lovely local spots, helped us discover Georgian gastronomy, and guided us to great places to buy souvenirs at very good prices. Both Nini and the driver made us feel very well taken care of the whole time. It was an unforgettable experience and a perfect way to explore the cultural and historical heart of Georgia. We highly recommend this tour and Nini as a guide.

“We had a wonderful experience with Nini”
We had a wonderful experience with Nini during our private walking tour of Tbilisi. From the very beginning she was incredibly kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She explained the history, culture, and traditions of Georgia in a very engaging way, sharing many beautiful stories and details that really helped us understand and appreciate the city. Nini managed the pace of the tour perfectly, adapting it to our group and making sure everyone was comfortable while still seeing all the key highlights of Tbilisi. She also gave us excellent local recommendations for food, cafés, and places to visit on our own, which made the rest of our stay even better. Thanks to her, we truly felt the charm of Tbilisi and Georgia. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting the city.
