Echoes of the Past: A Journey Through Time

On this All Saints’ Day weekend, the town becomes a canvas for reflection and exploration, where the past and present intertwine in a dance of shadows and light.
Begin your journey with the Kakheti Exploration tour, available from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. This immersive experience takes you through the heart of South Kakheti, where the Martian-like terrain of the desert meets the sacred grounds of the David Gareji cave monastery. As you traverse the frontier between Georgia and Azerbaijan, the allure of Bodbe convent beckons pilgrims and travelers alike. The panoramic views of the Alazani valley from the ancestral towers of Sighnaghi offer a moment of introspection, a chance to ponder the stories etched into the landscape.
“Great day with our guide Zezva - This was the second tour we did with this tour company. The tour coordinator Maria confirmed the guide details a day prior along with his contact number and pick up time. On the day of the tour, we were picked up by tour guide Zezva in a big Toyota car (we were 4 adults and 1 child). Zezva spoke very good English and was extremely patient throughout the day considering we were with a small 2.5-year-old child.” - Reviewed on 2023-12-13
