Jennifer Mullen traveled solo to Georgia with Advantour, looking for adventure away from the crowds. Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing your review and photographs, and for trusting us with your trip.
⠀
If you’re traveling through the Caucasus or have just returned home, we’d love to hear about your trip. Your memories and impressions of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan - three countries along the legendary Silk Road - can become part of Silk Road Ambassadors, a community of Advantour travelers who share their experiences through photos, videos and travel notes.
⠀
Everyone finds something different to love about the region. For some, it’s the chance to get to know local people; for others, village life sparks a dream of owning a vineyard. You might be struck by the historic sights, the work of local artisans or the ancient churches and monasteries. Or perhaps it’s the traditional food and conversations over a glass of w**e that stay with you long after you return home.
⠀
By sharing what mattered to you, you give others a chance to see the Caucasus through your eyes - and perhaps discover a place they had never considered visiting.

On October 20, National Geographic published its “The Best Places in the World to Travel to in 2027” list, featuring 25 destinations across six continents. Among them is the Transcaucasian Trail (TCT) in Armenia, included for the new ways this ambitious long-distance hiking route offers to explore the country’s wilder corners, experience village life, and discover its cultural heritage.
⠀
The Armenian section of the Transcaucasian Trail stretches more than 800 km from Meghri in the south to Lake Arpi in the north. Hiking trails and ancient herders’ paths wind through volcanic landscapes, forests, and river gorges, passing medieval monasteries and Silk Road caravanserais.
⠀
In the accompanying article, “Why Armenia Is Becoming an Adventure Traveler’s Dream Destination”, National Geographic highlights experiences that combine hiking with history, cuisine, and local culture. The author, Alicia Erickson, suggests visiting Tatev Monastery above the Vorotan Gorge, tasting w**es in Vayots Dzor, exploring Areni-1 Cave - where a 6,000-year-old w**ery was discovered - or learning to make cheese and prepare traditional herbal soups in Old Martiros. Farther north, you can explore volcanic peaks and crater lakes in the Gegham Mountains, as well as forest trails and medieval monasteries in Dilijan and Lori.
⠀
Plan your trip to Armenia in 2027! Explore one of National Geographic’s picks for the year with local tour operator Advantour. We’ll help you choose an itinerary that suits your interests and preferred pace, and arrange your hotels, transportation, local guides, workshops, and cultural experiences so you can enjoy your time in Armenia.

Whether you’re new here or have been following us for a while, you may know us mainly for our posts about tours in Uzbekistan and Georgia. We also organize trips to eight other Silk Road countries, with group, private, and tailor-made tours to choose from. Here’s a look at where we can take you and how you can travel with us.
⠀
Advantour is a local tour operator operating since 2003, with offices in Tashkent (Uzbekistan) and Tbilisi (Georgia). We design and run our own cultural sightseeing tours across the countries of the Silk Road - Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia and China.
⠀
Our tours focus on the culture of the nine Silk Road countries we visit: their history and architecture, cuisine, crafts, traditions, and people. You’ll explore historic cities with local guides, watch artisans at work, try regional dishes, and talk to local people - experiences that help you get to know the places you visit.
⠀
At Advantour, we believe your Silk Road tours should be comfortable. We follow company standards when selecting hotels, restaurants, transportation, drivers, and guides to ensure your comfort and good service throughout your trip. Our team personally checks routes, stays at hotels, eats at restaurants, and uses the transportation we arrange for our travelers to make sure they meet those standards. Many of us have worked at Advantour for over 10 years and know which details matter when planning a trip.
⠀
You can choose the type of tour that suits you best.
⠀
1. Our group tours have fixed departure dates and a maximum of 16 travelers. With a small group, there’s time to get to know your fellow travelers and ask your guide questions. We welcome solo travelers, couples, families and friends. Many of our guests are experienced travelers who value good company and respect other people’s personal space. For scheduled departures, we reserve guides well in advance, drawing on our established relationships with experienced local professionals. All group tours with fixed departure dates are 100% guaranteed: your tour will go ahead even if you’re the only person booked. You can choose a date and plan your trip without waiting for others to join.
⠀
2. On a private tour, you choose an existing itinerary and travel on your own or with family, friends, or colleagues, with no other travelers joining your tour. We arrange transportation, accommodations and excursions with local guides just for you, with no other participants. Our private tours range from short breaks to extended journeys, with options focused on food and w**e, archaeology, religious heritage, and nature, as well as itineraries featuring helicopter flights, jeep excursions, and horseback riding, among many others.
⠀
3. For tailor-made tours, we design a sightseeing itinerary from scratch around your interests, available time, and preferred pace. Whether you’d like more time in museums (or no museums at all), opportunities to explore local cuisine, or visits to craft workshops, we’ll discuss your preferences and plan accordingly. For example, one of our travelers spent 51 days touring Central Asia: a tailor-made itinerary gives you the flexibility to travel for longer than our scheduled tours.
⠀
Email us at [email protected] and tell us which countries you’d like to visit and what aspects of their culture interest you most. Our travel experts will help you choose an existing tour or create an itinerary just for you.

On October 14, Georgia celebrated the 1,700th anniversary of Christianity being proclaimed the state religion. A solemn liturgy was held at Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Mtskheta to celebrate both the anniversary and the feast of Svetitskhovloba.
⠀
In the 4th century, the preaching of Saint Nino, Equal to the Apostles, led King Mirian and Queen Nana to convert to Christianity. Following his conversion, the king proclaimed Christianity the state religion, marking the beginning of its spread throughout the country.
⠀
Places associated with Saint Nino’s life can still be visited today. Bodbe Monastery in Kakheti is home to her tomb, while Sioni Cathedral in Old Tbilisi preserves her cross, made from vine branches. According to church tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared to Nino in a dream and gave her this cross, blessing her to preach in Georgia. When she awoke to find the cross in her hands, Nino bound its branches with strands of her own hair.
⠀
For travellers, Mtskheta, the country’s ancient capital, is the best place to begin exploring Georgia’s Christian history. Here, beneath Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, Christ’s tunic - the garment he wore - is buried, according to church tradition. Overlooking the confluence of the Kura and Aragvi rivers, Jvari is a 6th-century church built on the site of the cross erected after the adoption of Christianity. It is renowned for its architecture and panoramic views of Mtskheta and the two rivers. Nearby, Samtavro Monastery contains the tombs of the country’s first Christian rulers, King Mirian and Queen Nana, as well as the relics of the revered Georgian saint Gabriel Urgebadze.
⠀
These and many other active places of worship are among Georgia’s most important historical and architectural sites. They are well worth visiting even if you are not particularly religious: they reveal how faith has shaped the country’s art, architecture and way of life over the centuries.
⠀
Visit Georgia with the local tour operator Advantour to discover the stories behind these ancient holy sites and explore the country’s Christian heritage.

What if you took one more trip before the end of the year - somewhere you hadn’t even considered yesterday?
⠀
Open your calendar, find a free week, and imagine swapping your usual routine for a trip to a new country: chatting with locals, trying the food, joining guided sightseeing excursions and finally seeing the sights you’ve heard about or admired in other people’s photos and videos. Now you’re the one choosing which photos to send to friends and family.
⠀
A spontaneous trip doesn’t need months of itinerary planning. Advantour offers ready-made group tours with fixed departure dates through the end of 2026. Choose a destination and tour length that fit the time you have available.

When in Armenia, be sure to try kebab (shashlik). In particular, try pork kebab cooked in a tonir - a traditional clay oven set into the ground.
⠀
This family roasts the meat on skewers suspended inside a red-hot tonir. Our video captures the moment the fragrant, steaming kebab is lifted out of the oven.
⠀
You won’t see us enjoying the meal in the video, but take the Advantour team’s word for it - the meat was juicy, tender, and absolutely delicious, and we still remember how good it tasted.

Who responds to your messages at Advantour?
⠀
Artificial intelligence has made us accustomed to instant responses: type a question, and an answer appears on your screen within seconds. But those answers may not reflect actual conditions on the ground. At Advantour, things are different - we always respond to you personally. You’ll work with a dedicated specialist - your personal travel consultant. The photos in this post introduce us - the people you can trust to plan your trip.
⠀
By talking with you directly, we can understand what matters most to you: your preferred travel pace, your interests, and any concerns you may have. Then we work out how to put your plans into practice. We contact hotels, guides, and drivers directly and finalize the details.
⠀
This is especially important when planning a custom tour. We can ask follow-up questions, discuss options, and adjust the itinerary to suit your preferences. This helps us shape a trip with a route, pace, and practical arrangements tailored to you. And if you prefer a group tour, we’ll help you choose the right one, explain the available departure dates, and answer your questions.
⠀
Many of us have worked at Advantour for more than 10 years; some of us in the Tashkent office have been here for over 15 years, and others have been with Advantour since it was founded in 2003. Over that time, we’ve designed and organized countless tours.
⠀
We regularly take inspection trips along the routes we offer: we stay in the same hotels, eat at the same restaurants, and travel with the same drivers in the same vehicles as our travelers. This allows us to check firsthand the conditions and service you can expect on your tour. Because we work locally and can verify details in person, our answers draw on firsthand experience and current information from our colleagues who will accompany you during your trip.
⠀
We work from our offices in Tashkent (Uzbekistan), and in Tbilisi (Georgia). We organize group tours, private tours, and custom trips to Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, and China.

You can get to know our teams better on our website.

What’s Included in Advantour’s Group Tour Prices?
⠀
Before you book a group tour, it helps to know exactly what the price includes. That’s why every Advantour group tour page shows the full price upfront, followed by separate “Price includes” and “Price doesn’t include” sections.
⠀
All our group tours include hotel accommodation, sightseeing with professional guides, all transfers, including airport pickup and drop-off, entrance fees listed in the itinerary, and drinking water.
⠀
Other inclusions depend on the tour. Take our 29-day Silk Road Group Tour, which travels through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia. The price also includes some flights within the tour, a journey on the Afrosiyob high-speed train, selected meals, specified visa services, cultural events, lunches with local families, and a w**e tour and tasting in Georgia.
⠀
We also list what is not included in the price. For this tour, for example, you would need to pay separately for flights to the starting point in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and from the final destination in Yerevan, Armenia, as well as the single-room supplement and certain visa and consular fees.
⠀
Every itinerary is different. One group tour might include domestic flights, another a high-speed train journey or a particular activity. Rather than leave you guessing, we spell out exactly what is covered on each tour page.
⠀
Our scheduled group tours also come with two important advantages: departures are 100% guaranteed, even with just one traveler, and groups are limited to 16 people.
⠀

Dinner in Baku and lunch with a w**e tasting at a family-run w**ery in Tbilisi are also included.
⠀
✔The tour begins on December 24, 2026.
⠀
✔Price: US$1,975 per person
