A fairytale-like tour with serene landscape and a great guide! - Thanks for the tour! It was super nice. Omari was our guide and Arkadi was our driver. The driver was very friendly and careful, and the bus was clean and comfy. Omari was very friendly, fun and established personal connection with everyone, so we really felt like a group of adventurers and not just tourists. He had a lot of information, both in Russian and English, and he patiently explained everything to both the Russian and English speakers. The trip was fun and had a great sense of adventure, which is something you need when you visit beautiful Vardzia! Many many thanks!

Best excursion from Tbilisi - We drove today, June 22, on the route Vardzia-Rabat-Borjomi and remained absolutely delighted! The cave town of Vardzia was impressive in scale and atmosphere, especially the walk through the tunnels. Rabat is a beautiful fortress with a rich history. Borjomi managed to collect water at the spring. Special thanks to our guide George - incredibly charismatic, knowledgeable, told interesting and with soul. Thanks to him, the tour was easy, rich and humorous. Very happy with the trip, we recommend everyone!

The trip to Vardzia - Beautiful scenes meet the participant everywhere on this trip but Vardzia visits require good fitness and vision, and the bus journey is long.

Borjomi Vardzia - I wanted to pay in cash, and was helped with same. The overall tour Experience was good. Was briefed by the guide about the main locations. It was a bit rushed at the end, However considering long distance to travel, it has to be anticipated. I would use lesser time for lunch and use it for the visit, however that would also depends on the entire group travelling. Just a suggestion that could be given to travellers expecially for long distance day tours.

Great experience. - Amazing selection of locations for the trip. It is nice to be able to do them all in one day. All very well organized To improve: sometimes the guide didn't explain exactly what we were going to do next. Or maybe he explained in russian but not in english, I understand it is tiring to keep switching languages all day.

The best trip in Georgia with the most amazing landscapes and the best guide Giorgi KARTVELISHVILI - WOW!!!! It’s the least I can say for this particular trip. I was kinda concerned about the length of the journey however was worth every minute. The landscapes, the cultural background, history, food .. everything was just on its BEST. I can’t miss to mention my favourite Tour Guide GIORGI KARTVELISHVILI who made this tour an unforgettable memory and that was through his impeccable history knowledge & explanation, his detail orientation and care towards his crew. The trip was beyond excellent from the start till the end, the driver Oto was also very entertaining easy rider who delivered us safe back to the drop point.

Great experience - Despite a rocky start, this was a great tour. This is a very long road trip but my guide was just great. Incredibly informative and very knowledgeable, I started to feel bad about taking all of her time from the other tourists. The only thing that worked against this tour was having a combined English and Russian group, just because that made our tour guide split her attention. Otherwise, this was perfect.

Good but can skip out Borjomi - Journey is extremely long. In terms of scenery, Borjomi is rather boring out of the three places covered in this itinerary, although it has a lot of historical significance in Georgian history, guide did not spend a lot of time explaining.
