Things to do in Ushguli, Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti Region: The Best Tours
Ushguli (Georgian: უშგული) is a community of four villages located at the head of the Enguri gorge in Svaneti, Georgia. Recognized as the Upper Svaneti UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ushguli is one of the highest continuously inhabited settlements in Europe. Compared to somewhat more developed towns like Mestia, Ushguli has been "saved" by its particularly inaccessible location, which helped preserve the villages' timeless feel.

TrekGeorgia customized three sightseeing days for our three generations of family (including a 4- and 6-year-old) built around a few days at two different resorts. Leaving from Tbilisi, we went into the wine region, framed by the beautiful Caucasus Mountains. It was a perfect combination of fun (winery, horseback riding, climbing towers, easy hikes), culture (monasteries, museum), and spectacular scenery – all this amid the pandemic. Dimitri, our guide and driver, couldn't have given us a better experience. He was knowledgeable, patient and solicitous with the kids, and super dependable. We really enjoyed his company! It was our second visit to Georgia and we feel very comfortable and safe there. The people we met were friendly and welcoming. We are sure to return and would definitely consider arranging other tours with TrekGeorgia. Thank you, Dimitri and Nutsa (our guide on the previous visit)!

Beautiful, wild and mysterious, Svaneti is an ancient landlocked in the Caucasus, so remote that it was never tamed by any ruler. Uniquely picturesque villages and snow-covered, 4000 m-plus peaks rising above flower-strewn alpine meadows provide a superb backdrop to the many walking trails. Svaneti’s emblem is the koshki (defensive stone tower), designed to house villagers at times of invasion and local strife (until recently Svaneti was renowned for its murderous blood feuds). Tour available from Tbilisi or Kutaisi.
Inclusions: Breakfast, 3 nights accommodation, Fuel surcharge, Bottled water, Local guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Private tour

Visiting the old town of Mestia and the towers was the highlight of our trip. The accommodation at Mestia included in the trip was very comfortable and well located. The drive to Svaneti was spectacular. We had total confidence in our driver Lashi on winding torturous route. He was also very attentive to our needs and happy to accommodate anything we wished to see. The boat trip was picturesque and a nice break from a long day’s drive. The wine tasting was disappointing with only one glass of wine offered. Overall a good trip and great to see the Svaneti region.

Our tour guide Irakli (sorry if I spelt it wrong) was extremely knowledgeable and we had such a fun time with him.

I have never been to a place this magnificent, the beauty of the sceneries was overwhelming. I am so grateful for FixTravel for organizing an amazing day tour trip for me, they provided a private tour guide Mari. The whole plan they had for me was very well organized and filled with amazing spots. Mari was very knowledgebale and professional, she told the history of every place we visited in a very interesting way that keeps you wanting to listen and know more. I highly recommend FixTravel for their professionalism and friendly attitude. I for one wouldn't have known to reach to these special and magnificent spots on my own at this time, but thanks to them I had a lot of stories to go home with.

Please book here. They have good rates and excellent guide ( Nino ). We went away for a whole day and saw cave houses in the SE. If you want to learn and hear more about the country, this is your chance. Very affordable and they do pick ups at your hotel, hostel or B&B.
