A very complete tour
This tour was very complete and interisting. Out guide was Ika, very friendly. Chronicles of Geórgia is wonderful, the city of love too. We learned how to make tradicional bread and Churchkela. We had a tradicional lunch and Wine tasting and Bobde Monastery was great.

Good Guide Bad Organisation
We initially tried to book the much cheaper Kakheti tour, but we were informed that it was fully booked. Since we only had one available day, we decided to purchase this tour instead. The tour guide was knowledgeable and informative, which I really appreciated. However, when we arrived at the meeting point, we asked three times for directions, but the staff member named Irina barely paid attention to us and told us to get on a bus without even looking — which turned out to be the wrong one. Afterwards, we were taken elsewhere to change buses and ended up being placed on the cheaper Kakheti tour instead. The tour was conducted in both Russian and English, so the guide had to explain everything twice, which made it exhausting for both him and us as participants. We struggled to follow the content of the tour during the bus ride. I don’t think I would choose this company again. The 3 stars are only for the guide, who did his best under the circumstances.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tbilisi Day Trip: Bodbe Monastery & Chronicles of Georgia: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Tbilisi Day Trip: Bodbe Monastery & Chronicles of Georgia cost?
+
Prices start at $16 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 Tbilisi Day Trip: Bodbe Monastery & Chronicles of Georgia take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Tbilisi Day Trip: Bodbe Monastery & Chronicles of Georgia worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 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 Tbilisi Day Trip: Bodbe Monastery & Chronicles of Georgia?
+
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 Tbilisi Day Trip: Bodbe Monastery & Chronicles of Georgia suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tbilisi Day Trip: Bodbe Monastery & Chronicles of Georgia?
+
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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tbilisi Day Trip: Bodbe Monastery & Chronicles of Georgia 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 Tbilisi:Evening Walking & Talking Tour with Wine & Boat Ride, Kakheti Wine Region Tour + 10 Premium Wine Tastings & Sunset, Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,wine tasting,Chronicles of Georgia. 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.
