Georgia in 7 days by private car
One week, one car, one driver: the Caucasus at Kazbegi, the cave town of Uplistsikhe, Martvili canyon, the tower villages of Svaneti with Ushguli, and the Black Sea at Batumi. About 1,150 km, never more than 6 hours of driving in a day. The price is per car for all 7 days — fuel, the driver's room and meals, and the Ushguli 4x4 included. You book your own hotels, or we suggest guesthouses we know.
