Happiness Promise
There are hundreds of thousands of guides and tour operators around the world. Figuring out who to trust is stressful and hard.
That’s why we started 10Adventures Tours, we’re here to make it easy to find a great guide or tour operator. We handpick the best local guides and tour operators for 10Adventures, working to ensure you have great guides and a great trip.
We know it sucks to show up in a different country and find out the tents are junk, the guide incompetent or the route different from what we thought we were getting.
We want to give our users peace of mind that you’ll have a great trip and offer a guarantee that we will work with you to make it right.
How does this work?
Well, if you feel that something about your trip didn’t’ meet your expectations, let us know. We will then work to gather the details and figure out where things went wrong. If something indeed wasn’t as described, or went wrong with your trip, and the problem was within the control of either oursleves, the guide or the tour company, we will then work out a refund with you that’s proportional to the scale of the problem.
Obviously the best way to make a great trip is to tell your local guide or tour operator and give them the chance to fix the solution while you are on your trip. Most things can be solved by telling your guide when the issue develops. If that doesn’t solve it, then email us right away. Please don’t wait to voice your concerns until the trip is over, as it’s much harder to solve issues after the fact.
We work hard to make sure you have a great trip. If something isn’t right, please email hello@10adventures.co and we will get to work right away.

Discover the fascinating Vashlovani National Park of Georgia
Take the first step towards a private travel experience, customized just for you.
About this tour:
Vashlovani National Park is one of Georgia’s most exceptional nature reserves, with a badlands-like landscape perfect for geological and natural exploration. Discover this park and so much more on the Vashlovani National Park Adventure Tour, a walk on the wild side of Georgia.
The Vashlovani National Park Adventure Tour takes you deep into Georgia’s diverse landscapes, revealing mountains, badlands, forests, and endless rolling green foothills. You can fly high in a hot air balloon or hop aboard a trusty steed to explore, or just kick back in your Jeep and let the scenery roll by. Because of Georgia’s unmatched cultural and historical past, visits to ancient monasteries and ruined fortresses are a must! The Vashlovani National Park Adventure Tour is the perfect blend of activity, discovery, and enjoyment!
Welcome to Tbilisi! This bohemian, busy city is the perfect gateway to the rest of Georgia.
You’ll be transferred to your hotel in Old Town for the evening, so find a cozy spot for dinner or feel free to roam about this 5th-century city.
Tbilisi was a lucrative crossroads for the Silk Road, and has long since been a point of connection for different cultures. Explore this beautiful mix of architecture, cuisine, and energy as you enjoy a guided walking tour of the city today. Stroll the narrow streets, see the Metekhi Church, and wander through several important districts. Chill out in the sulphur baths to cap off the morning.
In the afternoon, you’ll be driven to Dedoplistskaro, which is right next to Vashlovani National Park.
Today is all about the splendid Vashlovani National Park, a nature reserve filled with unique shallow forests and badland-like landscape. You’ll take a Jeep tour to Datviskhevi, Pantishara Gorge, and Mijniskuri.
Get your legs moving with a quick hike to the Khornabudji Fortress this morning, an ancient hilltop castle constructed in the 1st millennium BC. Then, you’ll be taken to the small town of Signagi, where you can enjoy an optional horseback riding tour through the picturesque area.
Continue on to the old Georgian capital of Mtskheta, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the centre of the Iberian Kingdom. As the birthplace of Christianity in Georgia, Mtskheta is still known as the spiritual centre of the country and has stunning churches to explore.
Take things up a notch today (literally, up) with a hot air balloon ride over the gorgeous Mukhrai Valley. This is an optional excursion with an additional cost, but it’s one you won’t ever forget.
Next, head along the Old Georgian Military Highway to stop at the Ananuri fortified church. Upon arriving at Stepantsminda, take a moment to appreciate Mount Kazbek (5054m, 16,581ft) watching over you. According to ancient Greek mythology, Prometheus was here when he decided to steal the god’s fire. You’ll then head up to the Gergeti Monastery on Mount Kazbek, an impossibly scenic 14th-century church perched in the mountains.
After breakfast, drive to the Juta Settlement and begin hiking towards Mount Chaukhi, a jagged-topped mountain that rises dramatically out of the green earth.
After your hike, you’ll head back to Tbilisi for some free time. Soak up your last night here!
What a week it’s been! After breakfast and packing up, it’s off to the airport or wherever you’re heading to next.
Soak up the vibrant hustle and bustle of Tbilisi, Georgia’s capital and a former Silk Road trade city.
Hike to ruins, fortresses, and monasteries high in the mountains, often built thousands upon thousands of years ago.
