    Our tour guide was SO accommodating and friendly. He even offered to buy stuff for us at a cheaper price if the sales people try to rip the tourists off. The orthodox churches of Mtskheta were absolutely breathtaking and beautiful. Next, the drive to Gori takes you along a stunning valley with beautiful mountains and hills along both sides. The museum of Joseph Stalin albeit cheap, did provide an interesting history behind one of the most ruthless dictators in history. Also, the original train car in which he rode all around Russia was one of the best historical experiences I’ve ever experienced. The Gori fortress on the top of the hill offered a great view of the town and the surrounding mountains, practically to yourself! Although the climb can be a little challenging for young kids, it’s not what you’d call hard or long. Lastly, our visit to Uplistsikhe was without a doubt he highlight of the trip. Being able to freely roam around a pre-Christ city carved into the mountains was a true surreal experience. I must give a huge thanks to our guide for providing us with this fantastic tour of Georgia.

Uplistsikhe is identified by archaeologists as one of the oldest urban settlements in Georgia. The town's age and importance led medieval Georgian written tradition to ascribe its foundation to the mythical Uplos, son of Mtskhetos, and grandson of Kartlos. The central part of Upliscikhe is the largest, contains a bulk of the Uplistsikhe rock-cut structures, and is connected to the southern part via a narrow rock-cut pass and a tunnel. Narrow alleys and sometimes staircases radiate from the central "street" to the different structures. The Uplistsikhe cave complex has been on the tentative list for inclusion into the UNESCO World Heritage program since 2007.
