Itinerary
Picturesque Borjomi A road through a fantastically beautiful gorge will lead you to Borjomi: you will walk around the city center, visit a park where Emperor Nicholas II and his family rest every year, see a monument to Prometheus and a pretty waterfall, and also climb the cable car to the plateau from which they open stunning views of the surroundings. Of course, we’ll talk about the famous “mineral water”, which is mined in the valley of the same name located in the territory of the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park. I will tell you about the results of archaeological excavations that shed light on the history of local mineral water, and right from the source you can taste the world famous water.
Medieval fortress Rabat You will get acquainted with one of the most expressive and colorful monuments of Georgia, literally absorbing the energy of both cultures: the fortress was the most important transit point between the Christian and Muslim worlds. You will examine the halls of the palace, decorated in the old Georgian style, and the impressive size of the fortress itself and the richness of decoration should not leave you indifferent. I will tell you about the foundation of Rabat, its name and explain the significance of Akhaltsikhe in the history of Georgia.
Cave Vardzia The ancient complex of Vardzia is not just carved into the rock premises. This cave fortress is a monastery built not far from Tbilisi in the 12th century. The extraordinary city has 13 levels and more than 500 rooms: churches, chapels, residential cells, pantries, baths, refectories, treasuries, libraries. The rooms go 50 meters in depth and rise to a height of eight floors, in addition, secret passages that connected the premises, the remains of the water supply and irrigation system are preserved. During the tour you will explore every corner of Vardzia and find out what purpose the rock city was built and what functions it performed throughout the history of its existence. And on the way to the ancient complex you will see a wonderful panorama of the perfectly preserved Khertvisi fortress.

Vardzia is one of the historical areas.
Everything loved, great guide, interesting tour
Vardzia is one of the historical areas.
I had such a great time on this tour — Keti was absolutely fantastic! She’s friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience really fun and comfortable. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and she shared so many interesting stories and local insights that made the tour special. She went out of her way to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves and even helped with great local recommendations afterward. If you’re visiting, definitely ask for Keti — she’ll make your trip unforgettable!
Hello, you are really lucky to have Katie as your grandmother. She is very friendly and very knowledgeable. You got a lot of information from her about history and culture.
We had a wonderful trip today to Borjomi, Rabati Castle, and the Vardzia Caves. It was such an enjoyable experience where we learned a lot about the history of Georgia, thanks to our amazing guide Katy, who was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. At the beginning of the trip,he guide told us that she would consider us as her children and herself as the mother of the day — I thought she was joking, but by the end of the journey, I truly felt it was true! I would like to sincerely thank Katy and the company for their warm hospitality and excellent service. I will definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to everyone! 🌟
Thank you very much for your kind words. Didi Keti is truly a very kind and knowledgeable person.
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.
Borjomi Vardzi Tour This is one of the best tours. The fortress city of Vardzi is interesting and has an ancient history. Thank you for traveling with us and enjoying our excursion.
Organized tour, convenient if you have a few days in Georgia. Great guide friendly, helpful and professional. Recommended.
I am glad that you liked our excursion to Borjomi, Rabati and Vardzia. It is a long, a bit tiring road, but very interesting. Our guides will provide you with all the interesting information. You will learn about the history and culture of our country and many interesting stories about these places.
