Visa & entry
Georgia: visa-free up to 1 year for most nationalities. Azerbaijan: e-Visa (ASAN) online, ~3 working days.
Currency & cash
Lari (₾) in Georgia, manat (₼) in Azerbaijan. ATMs everywhere; carry small notes for the mountains.
SIM & data
Cheap tourist SIMs/eSIMs at both airports. Strong 4G/5G in cities and on the main routes.
Driving & roads
We drive you — private vehicle and driver. Plan by drive time; some high passes are seasonal and 4×4-only.
Tipping
Optional but appreciated: round up, or 5–10% in restaurants; a per-day tip for guides and drivers.
Food for every diet
Halal, vegetarian and Jain all planned in advance. Georgia is a wine country; non-drinkers are well catered for.
Plugs & power
Type C / F sockets, 220V, in both countries. European two-pin plugs fit; bring an adapter from the UK/US.
What surprises people
How mountainous it is, how good and cheap the food is, how safe it feels, and how far a short drive can take you.
