Why visit Georgia?
Georgia is a small country located on the crossroads of Europe and Asia, with an ancient history and culture largely influenced by Christianity and blessed with spectacular natural beauty. Wine is such an important and ancient part of the ethos that the word wine comes from the word g’vino of the Georgian language! The oldest archaeological remains related to grape seeds and wine making has been found in Georgia – nearly 8,000 years old!
Beautiful churches and monasteries set in fantastic mountain backdrops, the cultural heritage, the very interesting rock-cut monasteries, cave towns, fortresses, soaring mountains, chateaus and vineyards and breathtakingly beautiful regions make Georgia an attractive, must visit destination. Combine this with the proud, high-spirited people, their culture and traditions, the wine and the food – you have an impressive potpourri of travel experiences.

What our Georgia Travellers Say
This was my second trip with Beyonder. And exploring Russia with a small group of Beyonders was really good. We experienced not only the key towns but also the non touristy places like Vladimir and Suzdal
I have lived my life with the simple philosophy of “Places. Faces”. So i had to go on this pursuit of everything wonderful about life – sunshine over the mountains, delicious wine and warmest people. I found it all.
”More(+)”
It was a dream come true and an ultimate testimony to a girl’s endeavour to self dependence.
I couldn’t have been so fearless and so carefree had this wonderful agency, Beyonder, not worked so hard behind the curtains to make it happen for me. I savoured every moment of this trip as you sip a beautifully aged wine because I knew they are looking out for me.
The itinerary was curated to give me plenty of time to myself yet I covered so many places that my heart was full. The biggest surprise was the food that the team arranged for me at beautiful restaurants. I am a vegetarian and I have never enjoyed food while travelling abroad but Georgia was an exception, thanks to Beyonder.
A big shoutout to my guide – a beautiful and inspiring human being. Georgia felt like a fairytale with her entertaining narrative. I never felt alone, she was always there to hold my hand when things were going downhill – literally and metaphorically.
With Beyonder, I feel I have found a friend – a trustworthy friend, I can always turn to when wanderlust (read: money and personal leaves) kicks in. A girl needs to have one such friend in her life.
