Tinatini Ididze
Georgian, native Tushetian. As a girl, she lived in the main wine region of Georgia – Kakheti, spent every summer in Tusheti – outstanding and authentic mountain region for its location, ethno-culture, and nature. In 2014 Tinatin became a certified sightseeing guide, got certifications in trekking and horseback riding guiding, and started guiding all over Georgia. The more she traveled and learned about Georgia’s rich cultural landscape, the more she grew to love her home country. Later, in 2016 she founded Caucasus Adventure Tours. The main purpose was to use her experience in adventure tourism and offer unpopular, least crowded and still least popular activities such as agro tours, equestrian trekking, and many others. Tinatin is a co-founder of the Adventure Tourism Development Association In Georgia, PR manager of the association, and the head of Trekking guides’ cluster in Georgian Mountain Guide Association. Caucasus Adventure Tours captures Tinatin’s passion for the many undiscovered and unspoiled regions that make Georgia so special, adventurous, and worth discovering.

Responsible Travel for a Sustainable Tomorrow
— it’s a way to make a long-lasting, positive difference.
Travel provides a unique opportunity to support local economies, preserve cultural traditions, and protect ecosystems. At Caucastours, we are committed to small-scale, sustainable tourism that benefits local communities, helps conserve the environment, and fosters meaningful cultural exchanges. Responsible travel means respecting and positively impacting the people, cultures, and environments we encounter, creating lasting connections that go beyond tourism.
Through our expertise and first-hand knowledge of the destinations we visit, we design thoughtful itineraries that leave a long-lasting positive impact on both our travelers and the places we explore. We believe in harnessing the power of travel to benefit society, enrich lives, and protect the natural world.
Our Approach:
- Small Groups: Traveling in small groups minimizes environmental impact and enhances the authenticity of experiences.
- Support for Local Communities: We prioritize homestays and locally sourced food, ensuring that your travel expenses directly benefit the communities we visit.
- Fair Pay: We ensure that local staff, including porters and guides, receive fair wages for their work, in line with local employment standards.
- Respect for Local Culture: We provide guidance on how to respectfully engage with the local customs, beliefs, and traditions of the places we visit.
Our Commitments:
- Respect for Local Service Providers: We treat all local service providers with dignity and ensure they are fairly compensated for their work.
- Skill-Building and Cultural Exchange: Our trips encourage mutual learning, where travelers can interact with local communities to develop language skills and broaden their cultural understanding.
- Adherence to Fair Wages: We ensure that all local staff are paid fairly according to local laws and standards, with tips being directed to them personally.
Our certified guides, trained by respected organizations such as GMGA, IFMGA, and FITE, play a vital role in ensuring that each trip is safe, enjoyable, and enriching for everyone involved.
Tips & Donations:
At the end of your journey, offering a tip to your porter or guide can be a thoughtful way to express gratitude for their efforts. If you have any extra gear, such as trekking poles, jackets, or sleeping bags, these items are always welcome as donations. Our leaders will ensure that tips and donations are distributed fairly, so that all members of the local team benefit equally.
A Team Effort:
Our adventures unite travelers and local teams, creating a powerful shared experience. Together, we foster mutual respect, cultural exchange, and the creation of unforgettable memories. By supporting local economies, we ensure that the people who help make your trip extraordinary also benefit from it.
Tips for Sustainable Travel on This Trip:
- Leave No Trace: We strive to leave no waste behind in the beautiful places we visit, and we ask that you do the same by picking up after yourself and respecting nature.
- Minimize Plastic Waste: Please bring your own reusable water bottle and lunch containers. This helps reduce single-use plastic and keeps the environment clean.
At Caucastours, we aim to make each adventure not only a memorable experience but also a chance to create a positive impact. We are committed to responsible and sustainable tourism practices that protect the places we love and provide long-term benefits to the communities we visit.
