Per car, not per person
Aggregators and tour sites often show “from $X per person”. We price the whole car, so the more of you, the less each pays: the Kazbegi day trip is $190 per sedan, about $63 each for three people; a minivan for six on the Kakheti wine day is about $40 each.
Seasons
Our prices are the same all year. What changes is availability: July–August, the New Year week and ski weekends (late December to March) book out first, so reserve 1–2 weeks ahead. In winter take a 4x4 with winter tyres for Gudauri, Kazbegi, Bakuriani and Svaneti; the Jvari pass to Kazbegi can close for hours after snowfall.
Example trips
- 7 days (Tbilisi, Kazbegi, Kakheti, Kutaisi, Batumi): from $1,380 per sedan, driver’s room included.
- 8-day road trip with Svaneti: from $1,560 per sedan.
- 10 days: the 8-day trip plus two days by the day rate — about $1,880 per sedan.
- 14 days built by the day: about $2,630 per sedan ($160 a day plus $30 a night for the driver’s room).
Tipping
Tips are not expected and never added to the price. On a multi-day trip many travellers give the driver 5–10% at the end if they were happy.
