- What's the best way to get around Georgia and Azerbaijan?
- For a tailored trip, a private car with a driver-guide is the most flexible and comfortable option — no self-drive on unfamiliar mountain roads, no shared coaches. We also arrange point-to-point transfers and domestic flights where they save a long drive. Every route we quote has a real distance and a summer/winter drive time.
- Should I rent a car and self-drive?
- We don't build trips around self-drive. Distances look short but roads are mountainous and signage is mixed, so a local driver-guide is safer and lets you enjoy the scenery. The vehicles we contract run from sedans to 55-seat coaches, with 4x4s for mountain tracks like Tusheti and Svaneti.
- How long are the drives?
- Plan by drive time, not kilometres — the Caucasus is mountainous. Tbilisi to Kazbegi is around 3 hours, Tbilisi to Kakheti wine country 1.5–2, and the Tbilisi–Baku leg we usually fly rather than drive. We pace each day around real road times.
- Are there domestic flights?
- Georgia has three international airports (Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Batumi) and short domestic hops — a flight to Mestia can save a long drive to Svaneti, for example. Azerbaijan works from the single Baku hub. We use flights only where they genuinely save time.
