Tim Burford is a guidebook author who has written for Bradt since 1991. He is co-author, with Nancy Chuang, of Bradt's Georgia guidebook. Autalo's Georgia driving guide cites his Bradt Georgia text on Batumi traffic, mountain roads and winter in Svaneti.

Bradt's author page says Tim Burford studied languages at Oxford University and, in 1991, after five years as a publisher, began writing guidebooks for Bradt. It says he has written nine original books for Bradt, from Uruguay to Georgia, as well as the Rough Guides to Romania, Alaska and Wales.

Bradt lists him with Nancy Chuang as author of its Georgia guidebook, 7th edition, published on 14 August 2024. The same author page says he leads hiking trips in Europe's mountains, lives in Cambridge and blogs about travel.

Autalo's Georgia driving guide cites his Bradt Georgia text on Batumi traffic, the Zugdidi–Mestia road, the Tusheti road, Kazbegi's 4x4 taxis and winter in Svaneti. Autalo's Georgia road-trip guides add the best seasons, Georgian wine and kvevri, Tbilisi's Old Town, Uplistsikhe, Borjomi and Gelati.
