Combined tour to Georgia Tbilisi Batumi. From Tbilisi to Batumi. Beginning of the walking tour of Tbilisi

Despite the fact that we have already described them in some detail on our website, tourists continue to be interested in how much money they need to take with them in order to feel confident and at the same time not travel with too large sums. Information on forums is often very outdated, and budget issues are discussed there mainly from the point of view of the most economical travelers who are ready to actively save on comfort.

How much money to take to Georgia: online calculator

The easiest way to estimate your holiday budget in Georgia is to use our online calculator. Naturally, he does not count accurately, because all people are different and their spending is also very different.

We put average costs for different types into the calculator, trying to make it more or less universal, but not too complicated. In just 3-5 minutes you can calculate approximately how much money you will need and get useful tips on how to save.

If you have already booked a tour or and , you can enter zeros in these columns, but the number of people and days must still be entered - they are used later in the calculations.

How much money do you need for excursions in Georgia?

You need to go to Georgia precisely for its sake. On our website there are selections of the most interesting, and.

In our opinion, the most preferable option for excursions in Georgia are individual ones, when you travel in a small company with a guide.

Also, many tourists choose the option with, which allows them to create complex routes with transfers from city to city.

Russian-speaking car drivers are no less popular in Georgia. They can be found on the website Gotrip.ge. They deliver to almost anywhere in the country. The quality is much better, and the price of the service is lower than that of taxi drivers.

Group excursions have also recently begun to develop well in Georgia. Their quality is improving, and the guides are almost as good as those who conduct individual excursions (sometimes they are even the same people). Of the ones we personally tested and liked, it’s worth highlighting the local website Georgia4travel.ru and the international one.

Individual excursions: optimal in price/quality

Another undoubted advantage of individual excursions is a large number of stops in beautiful and not too common places.

We recommend that all our friends and acquaintances who travel to Georgia purchase individual excursions. They are quite interesting here, some are even unique - not all places are repeated later in group ones, some of them are located far from public transport stops.

An individual excursion in Georgia is when you travel with a guide in a car (the driver is usually a separate person). All his attention is focused on you, and the excursion varies somewhat depending on your preferences. The duration of the stops is much longer than in the group version, no one adjusts.

The fee is usually per car. You can either go as a couple or look for a group - then the price can be divided among everyone and often you can get an excursion even cheaper than in the group version.

There are several options for taking a private tour:

Book it in advance online. We recommend the local website georgia4travel.ru and the international one. Both options are good, it’s just that the second one is better promoted, and therefore the guides there are usually busy.
Hire a car with a driver for a specific route. The option is cheaper, but the quality is slightly worse. Drivers try to tell you what they know themselves, but you need to understand that they are far from guides. They do not have the full amount of information, although they create the appropriate atmosphere.
Look for guides yourself through forums, social networks, etc. This makes it a little cheaper, but the quality of excursions is usually worse. Quite often our readers are unlucky. After all, good guides are in great demand; their contacts are passed on from tourist to tourist. Either beginners or guides actively advertise themselves, whom no one wants to recommend to friends after excursions.

Let's compare prices: If in Montenegro an individual excursion costs 8-10 tickets for a group, then in Georgia it costs 3-4 tickets. Therefore, in Georgia, even not very rich, but experienced travelers choose an individual option.

Car rental - if you don’t want to depend on anyone

Perhaps the cheapest option to see Georgia is. We recommend our friends to use Myrentacar.com, which perfectly searches the database of local rental companies and allows you to book cars with them at the same prices as locally.

This option is ideal if you drive a car confidently, are not afraid of mountain serpentines and are ready to plan your route yourself, studying information about and.

pros: the ability to independently plan complex routes with transfers from resort to resort; you can be alone with yourself and stop in a place you like; the cheapest option for 2-3 people.

Minuses: after a whole day behind the wheel, many people get quite tired; For a good trip, you need to do a huge amount of preparatory work and plan everything ahead.

average price rent a good car for 1 day - approx. 40 euros. Plus gasoline.

Here are examples of the most popular cars from the Myrentacar.com website:

Car rental with driver

Even those who come to Georgia by car prefer to relax in the country not while driving, but at the table. An excellent option for tourists who want to comfortably move around the sights of Sakartvelo without detailed information support or for whom it is not so important.

Considering the fact that we have visited Georgia more than once, we personally tried renting a car with a driver. We traveled from Batumi to Tbilisi, from Akhaltsikhe to, ordered a transfer from the airport. All this is on the website Gotrip.ge. The drivers were courteous, sociable, helped with things, some even gave us food.

By ordering a car with a driver, you will be sure that you can relax: have a good walk and drink alcohol at a Georgian feast or in a restaurant. We consider another undoubted advantage that there is no risk of missing the minibus back (public transport in Georgia does not stick to the schedule very well). The driver will take you back to your hotel or other designated location. At the same time, there will be no rushing or rushing at stops.

average price car rental with driver for 1 day - approx. 200 lari.

Group excursions in Georgia: a good economical option

It makes sense to buy group excursions only if you are extremely limited in budget or traveling alone (although in this case it is more profitable to join a group that goes on an individual one).

The quality of excursions that are actively advertised in tourist places in Tbilisi or on the Batumi embankment raises big questions. Many of our friends and acquaintances who bought such excursions were dissatisfied with the buses, short stops and guides constantly urging them on.

Good quality is offered at the same georgia4travel.ru and, tested by us personally.

For most tourists who deliberately choose Georgia for their vacation, the costs of excursions are quite high. But they can be reduced if you use a few simple rules:

Renting a car with a driver (even from another city) for the whole day is cheaper than paying local taxi drivers. In 2018, we were so burned in Akhaltsikhe. Out of habit, we asked the owner which of the locals could take us to the Sapara monastery and, the next day, we were already sitting in an old Opel and listening to the driver. All the way he tried to either take him somewhere for an additional fee, or persuade him to eat at his friend’s place. When asked about a trip to the city, he charged an impressive price and tried to convince me that it was cheap, and there was nothing to do there for more than 4 hours. He tortured us to such an extent that that same evening we ordered a car with a driver from. More than 8 hours with a stop in Likani turned out to be the same price as the local one asked for 4 hours.
It is better to conduct excursions while living directly in. The situation is similar with attractions located near. It's cheaper to visit them.
Arrange excursions in advance. Good guides usually have bookings months in advance, especially during the high season.
Never buy the cheapest excursions. Basically, they are not of very high quality and abuse hidden surcharges.

How much money should I take for food?

The site has several useful articles with, and a review. They give a general idea of the cost of food in Georgia, but it’s still worth exploring the topic in a little more detail.

Prices for food in restaurants and cafes

Georgian fast food: how much does khachapuri cost?

Baking is very popular in Georgia. It’s really tasty here, so we definitely recommend trying it. Prices on average range from 2 to 6 lari. They don’t depend very much on the resort.

The cheapest way to eat in Georgia is to buy baked goods. It is not only very filling, but also quite cheap. For example, regular khachapuri costs 2 lari GEORGIAN GELAR COURSE:

It’s not worth eating such fast food all the time, but travelers on an extremely limited budget can easily survive on it for a couple of days.

To be honest, cheap khachapuri in bakeries is not at all as tasty as the real thing in good restaurants. The difference is felt immediately.
