“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…”

“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…”
Review of the long Vardzia tour from Tbilisi, with Paravani Lake, Khertvisi, Rabati Castle, mountain scenery, costs, and practical tips.
“OK, let me start by saying the sites we visited were fantastic. Vardzia was amazing and well worth visiting, as was the Rabati Castle complex. We really enjoyed walking around these. This could easily have been a 5* review, but for the driver. Bad driving, OK. Crazy driving, OK. Dangerous driving no. This was a long trip. The driver we had nearly crashed 5 times, including going off the road while playing with his glasses, driving at 120km/h with no hands on the wheel folding up a USB lead and passing a lorry with 10cm to spare. I do not expect to fear for my life on a tourist excursion.…”
