Booking of multi-day adventures and excursions is also possible -- please inquire for details and pricing of overnight trips.

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.
