1.00We booked a private tour with this company 2 weeks in advance. 9 hours before the tour they called me and cancelled on me saying : they don’t have enough people to get us on private tour : our options are to join the crowd or get our money back . It was already late in the evening and it was so much stress ti arrange another tour with another company so late ! Don’t book with them , they are not reliable and can screw your vacation like they did with us .
Tour in Georgia you mast go!

5.00Another great Day in Georgia – With Omari & Joni! (Can we give 6 stars?!) If you’re in Georgia and not doing the Full Day Private Tour to Vardzia, Rabati & Borjomi with Guide Omari and very professional driver Joni. It was a full-blown epic Georgian adventure, complete with ancient caves, castles, hilarious banter, and food so good we almost cried into our khinkali. Omari is basically a walking history book – if that book was also a stand-up comedian. He brought the past alive with stories, jokes, and fun facts. Joni was like a Georgian wine. Calm and professional, The nature in Georgia is unreal. Like, who designed this place? Mountains that look like fantasy movie sets, forests that make you want to burst into song, and then – BAM – you’re inside a 12th-century cave city in Vardzia feeling like an ancient monk with a smartphone. All was like a stepping into a medieval postcard! Borjomi? tastes like mineral water, and looks like a fairytale park. And…Food Stop of Dreams: Hold onto your forks – we stopped at Maspindzeli, and it was culinary magic. First, imagine bread that hugs your soul. Maconi soup – creamy, tangy, warm perfection in a bowl. Local wine – so good we almost proposed to the bottle. Our highlights- This tour is a must-do for couples, families, history nerds, nature lovers, and anyone who enjoys being amazed for 8+ hours straight. Omari is the ultimate host – funny, deeply knowledgeable, and a shining example of Georgian hospitality. We learned, we took about 800 photos, and we’ll be dreaming of caves and khachapuri for weeks. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

5.00Were thrilled with this tour, it exceeded all expectations. Guide Tamara is very passionate about her work and completely immerses us in the history of Georgia. Although the tour lasted all day, thanks to a well-rounded itinerary, time flew by unnoticed. All the architecture including the monasteries and the rock town was incredible. very happy to go, thank you so much Tamara for such a wonderful time. And please send guide Mamuka to Vardzia more often.
