What better way to welcome in 2023 than with an experience of Georgian Christmas?



Georgian Christmas (celebrated in the Georgian Orthodox tradition on the 6-7th January) is one of the biggest holidays in Georgia. Every Georgian family looks towards to this time of year and its promises of great hospitality, big feasts and much celebration.



On this small group trip, you will first spend time in the beautifully decorated capital, Tbilisi with its Christmas Markets. You will visit a local family to share (and learn how to make) traditional Georgian dishes. You will have the opportunity to attend a Christmas service, and enjoy a packed itinerary exploring Georgia - a country rich in variety and culture.

We fully believe in, and practice, Responsible Tourism, using hotels run by locals. The accommodation on this adventure is comfortable and welcoming hotel accommodation offering rooms with ensuite facilities. We put time and effort into building our relationship with accommodation suppliers to ensure you have a great trip.

We choose accommodation based on cleanliness, comfort, safety, proximity to our route (to avoid unnecessary extra travel) and a warm client welcome, as well as reliability in their service to us. Wherever we can we will choose smaller, more characterful, individual hotels, but in areas where tourism is still developing, or in remote areas (like the mountains), we may not have a wide range of options. An aspect of our adventures is to escape the ‘trappings’ of modern Western lifestyles and to experience new things with are exciting and memorable and reflects the countries we are visiting.
