Private 7-Day Black Sea to Tbilisi: Trabzon, Batumi & Kutaisi

7 days (approximately)
Offered in: German and 4 more

Every departure includes your own licensed English-speaking guide plus a private vehicle and driver – only your group. Price per person drops as your group grows (1–8 travellers). A one-way private journey from Trabzon in Turkey to Tbilisi in Georgia, linking the green Black Sea highlands with Georgia’s coast, caves and capital – no backtracking. See Sümela Monastery, Uzungöl and the Ayder Plateau, cross the Sarp border on the coast road (your Turkish driver drops you, a Georgian driver meets you), walk Batumi’s seafront and Botanical Garden, visit Kutaisi, the 3,000-year-old cave town of Uplistsikhe and UNESCO-listed Mtskheta, and finish with two nights in Tbilisi’s old town and its sulphur baths. Both legs are fully private. Citizens of many countries, including the EU, UK, US and Turkey, can enter Georgia visa-free; check your nationality before travel. The route also works in reverse. Entrance fees are not included.
