Day Trips from Akhaltsikhe

Tbilisi to Magical Borjomi Rabati and Vardzia Cave Guided Tour

The language of the tour was...

The language of the tour was listed as English, however it was bilingual in English & Russian - that was really very tiring overall. The guide Ika was great nonetheless. You could really feel how much he loves his job. He has enormous knowledge of the country's history and conveyed it with a lot of humor. In Borjomi, there was an hour of free time at the beginning of the tour. In Vardzia, there was a tour by the local tour guide. However, for time reasons, you do not walk through all areas, which is a real shame. In Rabati, there was again an hour of free time with the option to hire a local guide for the visit. Since I didn't want to see Rabati anyway, it was great that you could also just pass the time in a café. It was possible to stay in Akhaltsikhe or Borjomi at the end of the tour and not drive back to Tbilisi.

8-Day All About Georgia Tbilisi Guided Tour with Accommodation

Essence of Georgia in the couple of days!

Great program, knowledgeable guides, approachable owner Zurab who is doing everything to keep you satisfied. You really will get the essence of everything you need to see. As trip to Kazbegi and the trip to Vardzia are quite intense and long I recommend to put a day free in between - USHBA travel and Mr Zurab will follow your mood :-) I strongly recommend to choose this operator ! You will experience and see a lot of different and interesting places . Also in Rabati I recommend you to buy additional ticket to see the inner courtyard of the palace and other objects . For the food follow the guide recommendations- they know best !
