Overview Itinerary Gallery Faq & Tnc Reviews

Overview

Georgia is a country in Eurasia, located on the crossroads of Eastern Europe and West Asia. The ‘Peach State’, the ‘wine country’ or the ‘Goobar state’, Georgia is often referred to as the land of antiquity where you can witness complex ancient history coupled with startling space-age architecture. Georgia is known as the Peach State, but it's also the country's top producer of pecans, peanuts, and Vidalia onions. The state's onions are considered some of the sweetest in the world. 4. Speaking of peanuts, Ashburn, Georgia, is home to the world's largest (fake) one. Feast your eyes on the Jvari mountaintop monastery, and Uplistsikhe, the ruins of a rock-cut Iron Age town, the Gergeti Trinity Church and the beyond-beautiful Mount Kazbek and so many more incredible sights. Georgia’s history is intriguing, as intriguing as the strangely multi-ethnic aspect of this European nation is. Food in Georgia is incredibly good, and different from European food. Georgia also produces some excellent wines, so if you’re into wine-tasting, do check with us about a winery tour. Once you’ve visited Georgia, you’ll not be satisfied then till you visit again and again! That’s the effect our Georgia tour packages have on people! If you’ve dreamt of touring Georgia but weren’t sure before, please note that Georgia is now independent of Russian rule and has become an extremely popular tourist destination. Come join us on a fabulous tour of this incredibly beautiful country and its unique culture.
