Detailed Itinerary
We’ll meet you near Radisson Blu Iveria at 10:30 am.
Our company meeting point is located at Rose revolution square.
You will see the Big Bicycle monument and our tour leaders wearing a red scarf.
If you are coming by subway, the Shota Rustaveli metro is a 50-meter distance from the meeting point.
Because this is the central area, you have an extensive choice of hotels within walking distance.
If you prefer to take a hotel far from Tbilisi city center,
you can always use the Taxi app and come by car.
Taxi is exceptionally cheap in Georgia.
If you are a group of more than four people or you live at our partner hotel,
we will pick you up 15 minutes before the meeting time and take you to the meeting point.
-Have wine tasting in the biggest winery.
Kakhetian Traditional Winemaking Factory (Kakhetian Traditional Winemaking” is one of the
most extensive wine and spirits-producing companies in Georgia and the Caucasus region.
Established in 2001, KTW produces brandy, sparkling wine, and chacha with traditional Georgian
techniques mixed with the state of art technologies.
This allows the company to preserve an old, unique wine taste and create
its signature style to spread to the world.
We can visit the wine factory and try five types of Georgian wine and ten years of Brandy.
-Taste fresh bred and chacha in the village of Badiauri.
Learning how to make good bread with flour, water, yeast, and salt is not easy.
At least you can see the process, and then you decide will try or not.
Some of our guests have explored special skills of themselves.
Usually, Kakhetians love to eat hot bread and cheese together.
Here in the village, you have a good choice of cheese.
Also, homemade chacha is the best drink in Kakheti.
Chacha is a Georgian pomace brandy, clear and strong, which is sometimes called “grappa.”
-Visit Bodbe monastery.
The monastery of St. Nino is located in the village of Bodbe, in the Sighnaghi region, Kakheti.
The monastery’s territory is decorated with flower beds, bushes, vineyards, and a healing spring.
The history of the sanctuary is closely connected with the adoption of Christianity.
According to the legend, after adopting Christianity, King Miriani had a dream: four stars flew across
the four mountains of Georgia, and one of the rays was near Bobde.
Nino went there to put a cross on that very place.
She lived very modestly in a tent where she died. She was buried in the area where her tent was.
At the beginning of the IV century, a monastery was built on the site of the tent.
-Explore the city of love.
Signagi is a small beautiful town in the Kakhetian region.
About ten years ago, it was the forgotten dull town.
After extensive restoration, it became a delightful civilized tourist center with cobbled streets and cozy houses
with bright red tile roofs. The town’s architecture is made in the style of southern Italian classicism.
Several hotels and guest houses have also been built, corresponding to tastes and preferences.
Signagi is also known as “the town of love,” and the reason is that there is a unique wedding house
where you can get married at any time without prior delivery of documents.
-Taste homemade wine at a local family house.
We will visit a local family in Sighnaghi.
This is a unique experience.
You can taste several homemade drinks at the family wine cellar.
Homemade Kindzmarauli wine is highlighted here.
We also recommend tasting peach vodka and chacha.
-Enjoy the views from the Sighnaghi wall.
Before taking you back to Tbilisi, we can walk on the Sighnaghi wall.
In most seasons, this is sunset time and the best time to enjoy the views.
In sunny weather, we can see the sunset.
We return to Tbilisi at around 6 PM.
If you did not do the Tbilisi walking tour yet, you still have a chance to join. It is recommended.
We will drop you off at Rose revolution square.
We hope you had an enjoyable day.

When I came in Georgia I was thinking what to do and where to go. I start searching the tours and I got lucky that I booked the tour here with this people.
When I booked my tour to Kakhet I received confirmation right away which was very nice move from them. I really felt safe after that.
When I get to the meeting point it appeared that I was only one who booked this tour that day because of low season, but driver and guide still were waiting for me with the red flag. I knew that it supposed to be lose for a company but still they never cancelled my tour and did it privately for me. I will never forget it in my whole life.
Tour guide Luka were very nice and friendly to me. I felt like a had a friend not tour guide with me. Our first stop was wine factory were we tasted different kinds of wine and most importantly Chacha. I could not hear the local guide in winery but I had Luka with me so he explained everything perfectly.
After the wine tasting we stopped to taste georgian sneakers Churchkhela and Georgian traditional bread and cheese which was really amazing.
We stopped in Bodbe and in Sihnagi – City of love where we had nice walk. You should go up to the wall and see the view from there. It’s Amazing.
In the end I really want to thank to this team and especially Luka for being so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely come back and I want Luka again to be my guide and friend here.

All along with Sighnighi the city of love and churches. A special mention to our guide Alex who was very generous information wise. I have learned a lot about Georgia along the way

This trip was just right. Left at the right time in the morning and just long enough to be enjoyable the whole time.
Stops were exactly what was needed to get feel for the region.
Lasha was a great guide and provided insight into Georgia as a county and it’s wine and food.
The stop at the bread and cheese maker gave us a chance to sample the way bread has been made for centuries and I don’t think modern technology can improve on it.
The Bodhe Convent was interesting and beautiful. I enjoyed the dogs and cats.
I really enjoyed the village of Sighnaghi. It is so quaint and beautiful. Strolled up and down the steep street and petted dogs.
The dinner at Kusika Restaurant on the terrace was a perfect way to end the day with views and dogs in the restaurant.
the ride back was a good chance to view the mountain scenery.
I highly recommend this tour.

I had a really enjoyable day discovering beautiful landscapes and different kind of wines on the way. We also stopped to a wine factory for a tasting. Our guide Lasha shared his knowledges about the history of his country all way long …and also his good mood. He really cares about making his guests happy and confortable. He even sang georgian’s songs when we were eating in the restaurant… What a beautiful moment ! I will contact Lasha again as soon as I come back to Georgia for discovering more ! Thank you so much !

It was a truly incredible experience. if you want to understand all the beauty and hospitality of Georgia and its inhabitants, contact this company and ask Lasha and his friend Ruslan as guides. They will sing you songs, show you where and how you can bake real Georgian bread and tell you stories about Georgia that you will not hear from other people. I wish your company good luck and further prosperity. Thank you for an unforgettable vacation.

The tour was indeed memorable.
Luca is a very amazing guide….he knows his job very well and he is very knowledgeable about it. We’ve visited KTW and did the wine tasting and before we left the place Luca gave me a souvenir(mini chacha).Didn’t expect that actually.So after that we had a quick stop at the local baker and learned how to make their traditional bread. He took us to a place also where we tasted Georgian sweets.
And then We’ve visited the monastery where St.Nino was buried. After that we took the zip line going to the City of love.
We were so amaze by the places we’ve visited.
A must try tour!

Amazing tour – starting with the wine tasting at Kakheti, then trying the local Georgian sweets and we got the chance to bake our own Georgian traditional bread. Luca, amazing tour guide, he explained everything about the location with visited ( monastery and the city of love). Breathtaking views with the nature of Georgia. If your planning to visit Georgie, this tour is highly recommended and make sure you ask for Luca.

Unique opportunities!
An amazing chance to taste and savour many types of local famous wines, from the distillery, from where you can purchase the ones of your preference. Can try your hand with bread making, then have a meal with fine friendly company. You’ll get to know rich history and traditions of the Georgian culture, and grow to love it!
Signagi is a beautiful town and somewhere you’ll never forget, and I loved the freedom to explore it as you wish.
There is a great zip wire too!
Many thanks to Lasha who was my ever friendly and awesome guide

Wine Tasting – a great trip
Would absolutely recommend. We’ve done tours with Lasha before and this was as ever good. His pride of Georgia is infectious and his knowledge is astounding – you couldn’t ask for a better guide. The wine tour is one of the best I’ve been on – delicious wine and a beautiful destination. Get booking… you can’t regret it 🙂

In vino veritas
That day the trip became private, there was only me and my friend 😀 That was our second trip with Budget friendly tours, we even were lucky to have the same guide Lasha that we knew from the first group tour to Kazbegi. Unlike Kazbegi tour, this one was much more chill and relaxed. At first we stopped at the KTW and we tried wine right from the barrels, and we had a chance to purchase the ones we liked at the local wine store, much lower price than anywhere else cause it’s right from the producer. After that we stopped at a local house on the road to try and make Shoti bread in traditional oven, and we ate it with wine and homemade cheese afterwards. Then we moved to the beautiful and romantic town Sighnaghi to have lunch, walk around and have more wine. Yes, Kakheti is all about wine, so be prepared 😀 and the views are just incredible. Georgia is a blessed country. Alazani Valley is amazing during go

Fantastic and authentic
We’ve been on two of their tours : The wine tour and the Kakheti tour as well. It’s such a fantastic and easy way to see the beautiful landscapes Georgia is blessed with. The guides were always so helpful, fun, and super informative when it came to explaining the history and culture at every part of the trip. I would absolutely recommend it !

Amazing Kakheti Day Trip
I would definitely rate 5 ***** even if I am very fussy guy in terms of getting satisfied with products or services. And the credit goes to you guys:-
Soso picked up us from the hotel to meeting point and dropped off after the tour, I found him open & he loved to engage with people, an amazing heart.
The Driver(I apologise, couldn’t remember his name) who had lots of patience to wait, and tolerate the noise we made during the day.
And the guy who exceed the expectations George Megrela. He is the best, I am going to suggest many of my friends to visit Georgia nd book the tour of wine region as he made it one of the life-time experience tour for us.
5-star to you guys!!!

Deep-dive into Georgian wine making (with a good chance of getting a little tipsy)
This is a very fun tour, you will learn a lot about Georgian wine making traditions, visit two different wineries and get the chance to taste a couple of different Georgian wines. Our guide did a fantastic job, we had a really great time with him! I highly recommend to join the group for the optional shared lunch – not only because it’s good Georgian tradition to share the meal, but also because you can try different Georgian dishes that way.
If you like wine, this is a no-brainer!🍷

INCREDIBLE
Certainly one of the best tours I have been too. The tour guide Soso was AMAZING and did an outstanding job guiding us throughout the tour. He was also very friendly and treated us more like family than like clients. The tour company was very patient and let’s you enjoy the moment at your own pace. Let’s not forget how mindstrickingly good the wine tasting experience was. We were taken to a bakery where we tasted delicious Georgian bread and cheese. In Kakheti we had tasted a wide variety of wines. The resturant we had been taken to for lunch served delicious food. Additionally, there was also a swimming pool where you can enjoy yourselves and with your family.

OUTSTANDING
We had booked the Kakheti Wine Region Tour with Budget Friendly Tour Company through Abanoub for 28th of June 2022. We have thoroughly enjoyed this tour, and was extremely an exciting tour with thrill and fun from the start till the end of the tour. Abanoub is very helpful and friendly, he had took care of every detail of this tour. Our tour guide was Soso and he is such an amazing person with good humor, full of energy and lots of fun. He has made this trip a memorable one for my family and myself. In this tour we got a chance to see the traditional Georgian bread making and to taste the freshly made bread with homemade cheese. After that we had explored Kakheti Winery. In Kakheti we have tasted a variety of white and red wines . We also had visited the Bodbe Monastery of St. Nino which is located in Bodbe in the Sighnaghi. Singagi is a small beautiful town in Kakhetian region. We were so happy that we choose this tour company and we recommend the visitors to take tours with Budget Friendly Company. The tour staff are really friendly and very helpful. It is one of the must take tour cause the full trip was so much fun with their amazing staff. Soso, you are the best and great job Soso. We will remember you always.

We had a great time in this tour and thumbs up to our guide Sophie, who gave a vast understanding of the whole tour. We really enjoyed the wine tasting session and I ended up buying more than I should. Strongly recommend this tour as you never get bored during the trip.👍👍👍👍👍

Trip to Kaheti
I really loved the trip. This was my second trip with the same company.Will start with meeting point which were very convenient for me . The bus was very comfortable with the expirience driver. Our Guide Sophia was very funny and had a lot of information about Georgia and places we were visiting. I loved the degustation and wine we tried so I got couple of it as souvenir for my friends. The price is affordable as well. We visited nice location for the pictures facing city of love, also nice Church and longest wall in Europe where we did another nice pictures. End up in nice restaurant with Georgina cousin and wine ) I can recommend this trip to all people even if you are traveling alone as this company create atmosphere where you don’t feel lonely. I created some friends from this trip. And I really enjoy everything.

Serene Eastern Georgia
I had the greatest of opportunities to be guided by Sophia who is an awesome and knowledgeable tour guide. She explained to great detail the history and trivia of each landmark that we visited, as well as throwing in many witty quips and jokes to entertain us travellers.
Along with her kind soul, we were accompanied by other travellers which I have met for the first time, and she made sure that us travellers were well acquainted, leading to an even better time. Can’t have good times without good people!
The wine tour was divine, as alongside the wine guide, our tour guide also provided some insights onto each wine, introducing us to the Georgian perspective. She also led us to a local producer which she personally knew to taste test home made bread, cheese and brandy.
Overall, the tour was very laid back and provided us a serene taste of the Eastern Georgia countryside. Highly recommended.

Authentic, insightful and pleasant
Thank you for this tour, it allowed me to experience the countryside as well as to taste wine. Tour guide Sophie has a lot to share about history and culture. Our group was very pleasant. The tour is slow paced, you do not feel like you need to rush (which is the whole point). Cheese and bread tasting is very authentic. A day well spent!

Amazing tour and guide!
Excellent tour!
They met our requirements from the first moment, even making us a private tour, custom designed for us.
Our guide Sally was very friendly and attentive throughout the tour, explaining all the details of the places we visited.
For wine lovers or those interested in learning about vibo and vineyards, this tour is a MUST.
We had a great time and will come back to do more tours with you!
Thank you very much for the excellent day, we will never forget it!!!

An unique experience
Trip to Kakheti wine region was full of interesting experiences. First we went to a professional wine makers/factory and tasted someone of their best wines. Later our tour guide team consisting of Soso and Ana took us to couple of local farms and street vendors where we had opportunity to see how local Georgians made Churchkhela , bread , home made wines etc. This was followed by a stop at Bodbe Monastery of St Nino and Signagi the city of love. Over all this trip was a memorable day in our lives and will be cherished for ever. All credit to budgetfriendlytours.

Fun fun fun!!
a well organised, fun day. We were able to watch the Georgian bread making process and try it. Had a lovely lunch, before visiting 2 winerys where we tasted a range of tasty wines – red rose and white. A great group of people. Great tour guide and an enjoyable, crazy ride back to Tsibili. Top tip…do not book a tour for the very next day, as you might be a little hungover! 😳 😀

Fun Friendly and informative
Summary from Tahshin for Kakheti tour!
I booked a tour to Kakheti from Tbilisi and I have to say that I enjoyed a lot. People in the group were so friendly that I made even new friends here. We were dancing, wine-tasting and enjoying the local views together!
We visited nice places like Bodbe monastery with its amazing views and Sighnaghi, where we had free time to walk around and take some pictures. We also visited local families to taste delicious Churchela, bread and cheese.
Luca was very amazing and friendly.He shared lot of information and was supportive throughout the trip. Will surely recommend. Will come back again. Thanks Budget tours and travel

Great tour with great people
Don’t get me wrong, the views and activities were great, but what was far greater is what our amazing guide Lasha and the skilled driver Gregor told and showed us about Georgian culture, way of life, hospitality and philosophy.
They really brought the best out of everybody in the group.

The best Introduction to wine
This tour was fantastic. I had the privilege to spend the day with Ms Ana (my guide) and the lovely gentleman (whose name I do not want to butcher) who drove us around. The tour felt like a day out with your best mates, very relaxed and full of knowledge trinkets. The highlight was, of course, the wine tasting in the local village. I was not that much into wine until I tried the “Kindazmarauli wine” please try this; Ana knows where to get the best one.
I had a good time with these guys, and I highly recommend them if you want a great experience in Georgia.

Relaxing day with the best people
Had another great tour with this company and saw everything I wanted to. Tasted some great wines, had some tasty cheese. The driver was also very skilled and on time. The guide Soso is also a very kind person, always makes sure you are doing well.
I went alone, but with this company it’s very easy to make friends.
Would recommend to anyone visiting Tbilisi.

An Enjoyable Day Trip with Lasha
An enjoyable day trip with guide Lasha and driver Kvicha. Lasha was very friendly, informative and attentive to the groups needs. Great wine tasting at KTW wine group, monastery/nunnery visit and final stop at Signag. The best part was making shoti bread and eating it fresh from the oven. Georgia truly has beautiful countryside.

Super tour guide
Lasha’s the best tour guide I’ve had in Georgia. Interesting life story, good knowledge of the places and country, super friendly. I’ve been on other tours and the guides haven’t been as good. We also got extra wine samples tasting with Lasha! Good vibes on the trip and we got good tips from the group on where to visit/ eat.

Wine and friends what do you want more
Perfect chill afternoon. Everybody got to know each other and enjoy a lay back day seeing the beautiful region of Kakheti. Despite the weather our guide made up for it and was a huge mood booster.
We got to know a lot about the wine culture and had awesome insights on the wine differences during the tasting.
Everything went smoothly and according to the plan and the communication with us since the online booking was perfect.

Amazing Georgian Wine and Lasha!
Great conversation ever with Lasha! Lasha has so good mindset and very positive. With his energy, he can make you very happy with the trip. Also, he is so good to play guitar and sing a song! When in a mood, he sang for us. His voice is amazing!
Please prepare yourself for drinking today at KTW, you can ask for many glasses as you want for tasting or getting drunk!
Lunch beside the road with local food and people is amazing! Don’t miss it.
Singagi is a small lovely city. Lasha can take you to taste the homemade wine here which is really good trying. Walking on the Singagi will take you for the bordor view, this is worth!
