Georgian tour operator · Tbilisi
Georgia, curated by the people who live it.
Local guides with verifiable experience and voluntary certification under Georgia's tourism law, self-guided audio tours, and concierge-level trip design. From a Tbilisi team that reads the tourism law in the original.
Walks in Tbilisi. Priced up front.
Five routes our own team leads. A fixed price per person and a plain list of what it covers and what it doesn't.
Three ways in. One honest one.
We tell you what's live and what isn't. Products launch when they're ready and legal — in that order.
AI AudioGuide
Self-guided audio walks through Old Tbilisi, Mtskheta, Kazbegi and beyond. Location-aware, offline-ready, written by local researchers — not scraped from Wikipedia.
$4.99 / route

What happens after you submit a request
A request starts a conversation, not a booking. Here's what that conversation involves.
- 01
We read the request
We look at your dates, pace, and what you wrote about the trip. If something's missing for the quote, we ask in our reply.
- 02
We draft a route
We propose day-by-day logistics, accommodation options, and what actually works that time of year — with notes on roads and weather.
- 03
We work out the cost
We show what the total is made of: planning, transport, accommodation, support. What's not included, we list separately.
- 04
You confirm
Until you agree to the route and the cost, nothing is booked and no payment is required.
The rules changed. We read them first.
Since 2026, Georgia has required tourists to hold medical insurance. Guides and operators must register in the state tourism database, guide certification is voluntary, and risky activities fall under separate, stricter rules. Most of the market calls this a problem. We call it a spec.
Built for the 2026 rules, not around them
Georgia rewrote its tourism law: mandatory registration for guides and operators, voluntary guide certification, stricter rules for risky activities, insured tourists. We treat compliance as the product, not the fine print.
Paperwork is our home turf
Modern Travel grew out of a Tbilisi accounting and legal practice. Work permits, registrations, contracts — handled in-house, in Georgian, at the source.
Local by residence, not by slogan
We live on these streets year-round. When a road to Kazbegi closes in March or a marani quietly stops taking visitors, our itineraries already know.
