Here I have gathered the day tours that combine Mtskheta, Georgia’s ancient capital, with the carved cave town of Uplistsikhe. The pairing works on the map: Mtskheta sits twenty minutes from Tbilisi and Uplistsikhe about an hour further west. Ask for Jvari Monastery first; from its ridge you look straight down on the point where the Aragvi meets the Mtkvari.
Discover Georgia’s highlights in a full-day tour covering Uplistsikhe, Gori, and UNESCO sites like Jvari Monastery and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral with expert guides.
