“This trip was really so excellent! My group was small, only 4 people, which was neat. Vardzia was definitely the highlight - I could've spent another hour there easily! This site is so stunning & historically interesting and really feels unique to Georgia. Giorgi made sure we were able to explore the site as we wanted to which was so cool, we went through some of the tunnels which was incredible. Borjomi is probably better in late spring/summer but Rabati was cool too. The guides and drivers went above and beyond, going out of their way to help us get back to our hotels since it was late at night…”

Review of Georgia’s 14-hour group tour to Borjomi, Rabati, and Vardzia, with costs, sights, language concerns, hiking advice, and booking tips.
“Vardzia is amazing. A must see. However, the trip is very long. 14 hours! No reason to spend so much time in Borjomi and the last point, Rabat, can be skipped. Our guide didn’t speak good English. Maybe because the we were the only English speakers on the bus, and everyone else spoke Russian, although the tour was supposed to be English only. Still, I recommend. But with a caution.”

He was warm, energetic, and incredibly passionate about sharing the history and stories of each location. His enthusiasm made the trip even more special for all of us.

Review of the 14-hour Borjomi, Rabati, and Vardzia tour from Tbilisi, with practical advice on sights, costs, guides, and long-road comfort.
“Nice place to visit but I’d avoid going with this travel agency for sure. Non competent driver/guid. We were about to have accidents 2 times. We were two couples in this tour, we were all stressed during the road because of bad driving. We are also not sure if the driver was actually a guid , he didn’t tell us facts/stories about each attraction we visited. It was a strange not to have a professional guide for this price. He allowed other tour sales persons to keep coming and try to upsell us some non sense trip within our trip (ex electric car tour and 4x4 tour ..etc) Of course…”
Ride 4 to 5 hours through Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park with local guides, mountain views, quiet forests, and hotel pickup from Tbilisi.
“This was a once in a lifetime experience! I have no complaints whatsoever. The driver was bang on time as well as the guide. The guide and taxi did not speak much English, however their effort and want to communicate meant a lot more to me as they went above and beyond and to communicate and share their love for Georgia, the horses and whole experience. It is clear the guide cares for the horses and loves them very much. The tour itself took us through stunning parts of the Borjormi mountains. Overall I would highly recommend, it takes you out of your comfort zone if you have never ridden…”

Spend a snowy day from Tbilisi exploring Borjomi, riding the Kukushka train, and enjoying Bakuriani skiing at a fair price.
“We had an amazing trip to bakuriani with my family was beyond amazing, we really went all out and tried all the activities. We went skiing first and Paata was a person I will always appreciate as he taught me how to skii and probably will be a lifetime hobby now. We learned alot about georgia in depth and already planning our next visit. One of my favourite parts was visiting borjomi and trying out the natural mineral water. I definitely recommend this trip for anyone thinking about doing it especially with Paata.”
