I would love to thank to our guide Givi( or he is called Freddy), although the weather conditions were very hard with snow, he and his team saved the day and we experienced very good time

The tour was a very small group, that is why the guides were so focused on each of the attendees. George and his team were so informative and friendly. The tour was fun and I enjoyed everything. The snow made the tour magical. Everything was fantastic.

Amazing tour – a must in Tbilisi! We had an incredible experience on this tour. Freddy, our guide, was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made the entire experience fun and informative. A huge shout-out as well to our driver, who was professional and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. If you’re visiting Tbilisi, this tour is an absolute must. Highly recommended!

The monastery itself is small and fairly standard for Georgia. Most visitors come for the views, which overlook the city of Mtskheta, the gorge, and the surrounding area. The scenery around is truly beautiful.

Incredible views over the Aragvi and Kura rivers. This is a beautiful and well-preserved monastery with a very peaceful atmosphere. There is a lot of history here too. Definitely worth stopping here!

Beautiful church with a beautiful access road. The drive uphill is indeed very nice , passing through a green zone which looks like a forest. Free parking and free entry. We visited with family in 3rd week of october. It was pleasant at 4pm. The restoration work is still going on. The view of MTS kheta city from here is beautiful. There is also another route for those who would like to climb up or descend from or to the highway road below.

A beautiful and peaceful escape, just 30 min drive away from Tbilisi. The monastery and the view are both amazing. Dress warm though, as the winds up there can be extremely strong
