The trip is really good but before booking it check the weather because with bad weather you cannot do anything! It was raining nom stop for the whole trip, we had to skip Botanical gardens and we walked in Batumi only for minutes and we got wet!”

4.Vardzia. Lake Paravani, Khertvisi & Lomisa castle, Rabati

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 12 reviews · 12 to 13 hours (approx.) · from $120

Review of a long but rewarding Vardzia tour from Tbilisi, with Paravani Lake, Khertvisi, Atskuri beer, and Rabati Castle.

“Vardzia is so unique and beautiful that every visitor to Georgia should see it. The ride is not short so it definitely helped to have a very knowledgeable guide. This was one of the best day trips I’ve ever took and I travel a lot. There is plenty to see on the way and the day just flies by. We also visited some local Armenian and Georgian cemeteries on the way which was absolutely fascinating experience. This would deserve its own separate tour. Wonderful trip that I highly recommend! I would give it some extra stars if I could.”
