This was a very good experience not only because the places were wonderful but our tour guide Timor made it more fun. He was very knowledgable, approachable and patient. Also, credits to other group members who were always on time.

Most see places with professional guidance
This was a fantastic trip, in one hand because of the places but much more because of the service. Our guide David was very professional, organised well, always paid attention our needs and gave us useful information - especially for this tour, you don't want to have someone who is not professional like this!! But also the driver was fabulous!! The conditions were really bad for most of the time (snow, bad vis..), but he managed everything in a calm and safe way. Respect! It was a long day. Because of professionalism, we always knew what to expect and because the places we visited were really unique and amazing - we always had very good conditions at the spots - this tour is one of the best I made in Georgia. I made six tours with different companies and different guides. This tour and this guide and driver are 100% recommendable!! I would do it again when coming back with my friends. Thank you so much!!!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Explore Georgia Full Day Tour of Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Explore Georgia Full Day Tour of Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi cost?
+
Prices start at $44 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 Explore Georgia Full Day Tour of Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi take?
+
Plan for about 13 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 Explore Georgia Full Day Tour of Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Explore Georgia Full Day Tour of Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi?
+
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 Explore Georgia Full Day Tour of Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Explore Georgia Full Day Tour of Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi?
+
Around 1 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 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Explore Georgia Full Day Tour of Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi 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.

Not included: Lunch; Borjomi museum entrance fee: 5Gel/Person; Vardzia Entrance Fee: 17Gel/Person; and Borjomi Entrance Fee : 17Gel/Person.

+
