Vardzia is a historical cave city carved into the mountainside, with numerous interconnected rooms, tunnels, and stairways. It is an important historical site in Georgia and offers visitors a chance to learn about the country's history and culture.

Rabati is a medieval fortress that has been rebuilt and restored over the centuries, and it offers visitors a unique blend of Islamic and Orthodox architecture. The complex also includes a bazaar and a mosque, giving visitors a chance to experience Georgian culture from a different perspective.

Borjomi, on the other hand, is a beautiful town located in central Georgia, surrounded by the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park, the largest national park in the country.

Out of all the tours we took in Georgia, this one was quite disappointing. The only real highlight of the day was Vardzia, which was absolutely beautiful and worth visiting. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell well below expectations. Unlike two other tour operators we booked with, there was no WhatsApp confirmation or reminder the evening before. The meeting point was also unclear, with no visible branding, signage or flags to help us locate the bus. The itinerary is simply too ambitious for a single day, which made the entire experience feel rushed. Borjomi was underwhelming, and a significant portion of Rabati Castle was closed due to a concert that evening. As a guest booking through a tour operator, I expect the itinerary to be properly planned and for any major disruptions or closures to be communicated in advance. To make matters worse, the bus was uncomfortably hot throughout the journey, as the air conditioning was not functioning properly. Overall, this was a disappointing experience that I would not recommend. Two stars only because Vardzia was a fantastic destination and the highlight of the trip. And the tour guide? Better to find someone new that takes pride in his work, and in representing his country. He seemed very unbothered…
Great tour!

An unforgettable journey thanks to the amazing team. I want to express my gratitude to our guide Levani and driver Vaska for making our trip special. Levani's stories were so interesting, lively and humorous that they literally fell in love with these places. And our comfort and safety was Vaska's responsibility. The roads were not easy , but with such a professional driver we felt completely safe. Lewaki and Vaska ,thank you for your hospitality,care and unforgettable experiences!You are the best team. I recommend it!

I joined a group tour today in Tbilisi, and I had a fantastic experience. Levani was an incredible guide—he was professional, knowledgeable, and funny went out of his way to make sure we was comfortable throughout the day. If you’re looking for a well-organized tour with a guide who truly cares about his guests, I couldn't recommend Levani enough!
Fantastic tour

Very long day- back after 11pm, 16hours total not advertised 12hr. It’s Russian-English tour. Initially the guide spent more time with Russian explanation, but later someone complained and he improvised with the English. The bus is uncomfortable in most seats especially in the back near the wheel and the back row- very little leg room; two passengers dropped out of the group after 30 minutes bus ride. Russian-English groups initially didn’t get along but after a day it’s much better dynamics. The sites are worth visiting on the other hand.
