Georgia & Azerbaijan
Two countries, one trip
Neighbours in the South Caucasus — yet most operators run only one. We run both, so a two-country journey comes together as a single, seamless trip.
Why one trip — and why with us
Georgia and Azerbaijan sit side by side, but they're rarely combined. We're the operator on the ground in both, so a two-country trip is one itinerary, one team, one quote and a single border crossing that we handle — no stitching together two separate agencies.
How the two-country trip is actually run
The two countries are usually sold by two different operators, and the seam shows: two contracts, two ops teams, and a border where each side blames the other. We operate both, so the trip is one file. Below is what that means concretely, and each figure can be checked against another page on this site.
- Both countries in-house
- Georgia and Azerbaijan are run by our own team. Neither country is subcontracted to a separate local DMC.
- The crossing
- By road the border is Lagodekhi–Balakan; the alternatives are a short direct flight or the overnight sleeper. We book the crossing, meet the group on both sides and run the transfers either way.
- One contract, one contact
- One contract with V Holidays and one named operations contact rather than a shared inbox. Quote within one working day.
- Company ID
- V Holidays LLC, registered in Georgia, company ID 406431428.
- Bookable hotels
- 135 hotels in Georgia and 57 in Azerbaijan are published on this site, with addresses and facilities.
- Guide languages
- 11: English, Russian, Arabic, German, French, Hindi / Urdu, Persian, Turkish, Chinese, Polish, Korean. Of these, 5 are year-round in Georgia and 6 in Azerbaijan; the full availability table is published on the guides page.
- Transport
- No owned fleet. Vehicles and drivers are contracted from vetted local operators — sedans through 55-seat coaches, plus 4×4 for mountain roads.
- Largest group handled
- 500 pax on a single trip, 2025.
Getting between them
Tbilisi and Baku are connected by short direct flights, an overnight sleeper train, and a road route through the eastern wine country via the Lagodekhi–Balakan border. Schedules and routes change, so we pick the best live option for your dates and arrange the crossing, the border and the transfers.
Visas & entry
Many nationalities enter Georgia visa-free, while Azerbaijan issues an online ASAN e-Visa (evisa.gov.az). The two have separate rules — we confirm what your passport needs for each and arrange it all before you travel.

What a route looks like
A typical two weeks: Tbilisi and Kakheti's wine country, up to Kazbegi, then east across the border to Sheki, on to Baku and the Absheron fire temples, and the Caspian to finish — or the reverse. We tailor the length, the pace and the crossing to you.

Georgia & Azerbaijan together, answered
- Can I visit Georgia and Azerbaijan in one trip?
- Yes — they sit side by side in the South Caucasus, and we operate in both, so a two-country trip is one itinerary handled by one team on the ground. Most travellers give it 10–14 days; we tailor the length, the order and the border crossing to your dates.
- How do I travel from Tbilisi to Baku?
- The two capitals are connected by short direct flights, an overnight sleeper train, and a road route through the eastern wine country via the Lagodekhi–Balakan border. Schedules and routes change, so we compare live options for your dates and handle the crossing and transfers.
- Do I need a visa for both countries?
- Many nationalities enter Georgia visa-free, while Azerbaijan issues a quick online ASAN e-Visa (evisa.gov.az). The two have separate entry rules, so we confirm exactly what your passport needs for each and arrange the paperwork before you travel.
- What does each country add to the trip?
- Georgia brings old-town Tbilisi, the 8,000-year Kakheti wine country and the high Caucasus at Kazbegi and Svaneti. Azerbaijan brings Baku — a walled old city beside a modern skyline — the mud volcanoes and rock art of Gobustan, the Absheron fire sites, and the Silk Road town of Sheki. Together they pair mountains and wine with the Caspian and the 'Land of Fire'.
- Which is better, Georgia or Azerbaijan?
- They complement rather than compete: Georgia leans wine, mountains and Orthodox heritage; Azerbaijan leans Baku's contrasts, fire temples and the Caspian coast. If you can't choose, that's the case for doing both — which is exactly what we build.
