Great tour, covers a lot
Our guide Irakli was easily the best guide I've ever had, the day was very long and he was giving us great information and history the whole time. Great knowledge and passion for history was greatly appreciated and the rest of the tour was very interesting and well worth doing. This tour covers a lot of area and you get to see some of Georgias long history over many time periods

Reckless driver
After speeding, swerving the whole trip. The driver slammed on the breaks sending the whole bus jolting forward including my bag with a bottle in it smashing it. Ruining 2 portable chargers, a cable, my new waterproof jacket, my new card souvenirs and my bag cause they now either are soaked or stink of beer Thanks alot, hopefully get some sort of compensation but probably not 👍

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi Ancient Georgia Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi Ancient Georgia Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $43 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 Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi Ancient Georgia Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi Ancient Georgia Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 126 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 Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi Ancient Georgia Group Tour?
+
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 Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi Ancient Georgia Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi Ancient Georgia Group Tour?
+
Around 44 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi Ancient Georgia Group Tour 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.
