Frequently asked questions
Is this itinerary suitable for elderly grandparents with limited mobility?
Yes — the pace is intentionally relaxed, and most village and cultural activities involve minimal walking on flat terrain. The Okatse Canyon walkway does involve some steps, but grandparents can comfortably wait at the entrance viewpoint with our guide.
What age group is best suited for the cheese-making and bread-baking workshops?
Both workshops are designed to be fun and safe for children aged 5 and above, and adults of all ages genuinely enjoy them. These sessions are among the most memorable moments of the trip for multi-generational groups.
Is western Georgia safe for family travel?
Western Georgia is considered very safe for family and multi-generational travellers, with hospitable locals and low petty crime rates. Our guides are experienced in managing group dynamics across age ranges.
Are vegetarian or allergy-specific meals available?
Georgian cuisine is naturally abundant in vegetable dishes, bean stews, and dairy, making it very accommodating for vegetarians. Please inform us of any dietary restrictions at booking and we will coordinate with all hotels and hosts in advance.
Do I need a visa to visit Georgia?
