    An Amazing trip from Tibilisi to Borjomi

    Unforgettable trip from Tibilisi to Borjomi. Our recent journey to Borjomi was truly magical, Giga took us to many beautiful spots along the way, allowing us to capture breathtaking pictures and create lasting memories. His knowledge about Borjomi and willingness to share insights about the area added a whole new dimension to the trip. We were fortunate to visit some of the most famous places in the region, all thanks to Giga. If you're planning a trip to Borjomi, I wholeheartedly recommend Giga for a wonderful, informative, and picture-perfect adventure. Thank you for making our trip so special.

    A Beautiful trip! Thanks Alex!

    Beautiful places and a big thank you to our guide Alex! We generally don’t go on planned tours because it feels too binding … just rushing around ticking off things on a list… you don’t really experience places you just see them! But since this was a last minute planned trip, we didn’t have time to research, and so we booked this trip and we got lucky because we had Alex!!! Excellent guide and an even better human! He explained about everything, the cultural and historical aspects and never rushed us, we even tweaked our itinerary our way! I would strongly suggest to get in touch with him early so he can create an itinerary which would work as per your interest.

    My magical experience in Borjomi, Georgia

    It was a magical experience. Giga was the best tour guide we could ask for. He spoke fluent English. The nature walks in borjomi, sulphur baths, historic caves, and family lunches where all so memorable.

    Scenic and lovely

    One of the most beautiful & serene place. Even though part of the the ride up was through very rough terrain, it was worth it! Our guide Giga made it a memorable trip with experienced drivers and a wonderful explanation on the history of the place. The monastery and church was beautiful and has breathtaking views. It is a must visit!

    Borjomi - Vardzia • Private 2-Day Escape: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.

    How much does Borjomi - Vardzia • Private 2-Day Escape cost?

    +

    Prices start at $170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tbilisi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Borjomi - Vardzia • Private 2-Day Escape take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tbilisi is not rushed.

    Is Borjomi - Vardzia • Private 2-Day Escape worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tbilisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Borjomi - Vardzia • Private 2-Day Escape?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Borjomi - Vardzia • Private 2-Day Escape suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Borjomi - Vardzia • Private 2-Day Escape?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tbilisi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tbilisi and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Borjomi - Vardzia • Private 2-Day Escape start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tbilisi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tbilisi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tbilisi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kakheti Wine Region Tour + 10 Premium Wine Tastings & Sunset, Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,Chronicles of Georgia & Wine Cellar, Day Trip to Kazbegi and Gudauri. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tbilisi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tbilisi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
