Highly recommended, a nice tour around Georgia, the visits to Vardzia, Rabati and Borjomi were fantastic.

Excellent trip into south Georgia
We had the best experience with Misha during this tour. Even though the trip is very long (almost 14 hours), we felt safe and comfortable during all the transfers. Misha was an excellent and experienced guide, who explained everything about the local traditions and culture. He also made sure that we are hydrated and not hungry during the whole trip. All the locations are simply breathtaking, we had enough time to explore everything. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Vardzia, Rabati & Borjomi Private day Tour from Kutaisi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kutaisi.
How much does Vardzia, Rabati & Borjomi Private day Tour from Kutaisi cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kutaisi 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 & Borjomi Private day Tour from Kutaisi take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Kutaisi is not rushed.
Is Vardzia, Rabati & Borjomi Private day Tour from Kutaisi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 Kutaisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Vardzia, Rabati & Borjomi Private day Tour from Kutaisi?
+
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 & Borjomi Private day Tour from Kutaisi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Vardzia, Rabati & Borjomi Private day Tour from Kutaisi?
+
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 Kutaisi 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 Kutaisi and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vardzia, Rabati & Borjomi Private day Tour from Kutaisi 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 Kutaisi 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 Kutaisi?
+
On Outty we rank every Kutaisi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include CANYONS & CAVE Tour from Kutaisi - Okatse, Martvili & Prometheus, Kutaisi:Chiatura Tour with Katskhi Pillar & Cable Car Experience, From Kutaisi: Martvili & Okatse Canyons & Cave Guided Tour. 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 Kutaisi?
+
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 Kutaisi?
+
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.
