Tbilisi · VARDZIA CAVE CITY & BORJOMI ESCAPES
4 reviewed
Vardzia is a whole monastery cut into a cliff face, and Borjomi is where Georgia bottles its mineral water. These long southern day trips from Tbilisi often fold in Rabati Castle too — here is what each covers, how early it leaves, and what the full day costs.

“Was a great experience with Timur! Definitely an amazing way to spend a full day in Georgia, beautiful locations and great value. Our guide Timur was able to explain EVERYTHING and managed the group very well. Can’t recommend this more.”
Full-day group tour from Tbilisi to Borjomi, Rabati, and Vardzia, with a guided history stop and scenic breaks along the way.
“Well organized. Your tour guide was well informed and communicated well - would’ve have been better if they separated the groups based language - the constant switch between English and Russian meant some things were missed in the moment. Lots more driving than sightseeing but it’s understandable given the distance from Tbilisi.”
