Before you go
Six facts worth knowing.
- Flight. About two and a half hours, direct from Tel Aviv.
- Visa. Not needed. An Israeli passport is enough, for up to a year.
- Money. Georgian lari. It is worth carrying some cash too.
- Language. Georgian. Russian almost everywhere, English in the cities.
- Travel warning. There is a warning from Israel's National Security Council. Worth reading.
- Insurance. Never travel without travel insurance.
FAQ
What people ask us before booking a trip
Is it an organised group tour?
No. It is a private trip: just you, the driver and the guide, on the dates you chose and at your own pace.
Who runs the trip?
An experienced tour operator in Tbilisi whom we have known for years. TraVal plans the trip with you, arranges it, and stays available to you in English until you are back home.
Is it safe to travel to Georgia?
Many Israelis travel to Georgia every week. Even so, Israel's National Security Council publishes a travel warning for the country, and it is important to read it before you decide. We are happy to answer any question, honestly.
Is there a guide who speaks Hebrew?
The local guides speak Russian and English. We support you in English on WhatsApp throughout the trip. [Hebrew-speaking guide: check with the operator]
Can I combine the trip with dental treatment?
Yes. Many clients do exactly that. Here is how it works with TraVal Care.
What is included in the price?
Accommodation with breakfast, all transfers, a driver and a guide, and entry to the sites on the route. Flights, insurance and meals not mentioned in the offer are not included. The price itself depends on the number of travellers, the number of days, the level of stay and the season.
