“This trip was really so excellent! My group was small, only 4 people, which was neat. Vardzia was definitely the highlight - I could've spent another hour there easily! This site is so stunning & historically interesting and really feels unique to Georgia. Giorgi made sure we were able to explore the site as we wanted to which was so cool, we went through some of the tunnels which was incredible. Borjomi is probably better in late spring/summer but Rabati was cool too. The guides and drivers went above and beyond, going out of their way to help us get back to our hotels since it was late at night…”
