What you can expect

Embark on a full-day guided tour from Tbilisi to explore Borjomi, Rabati Castle, and Vardzia. Enjoy the rejuvenating waters of Borjomi Central Park and delve into Georgian history with insights from your guide throughout the journey.

Meet your guide at the designated point in Tbilisi and board your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for the day. Your first stop is Borjomi, a quaint resort town known for its fresh air and scenic natural surroundings of rivers and forests.

Upon arrival in Borjomi, visit the Central Park to sample its renowned mineral water, celebrated for its healing properties, beneath the park’s charming blue dome. Take advantage of your free time to ride the cable car or partake in optional activities such as horse riding, rafting, or a quadricycle tour (additional costs apply).

Next, journey to Rabati Castle, perched at the highest point in Akhaltsikhe. Discover the castle's rich history, including its decline after being captured by the Russian Imperial Army during the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829 and its subsequent renovation in 2011-2012.

Proceed to Vardzia, a remarkable cave monastery complex carved into the rock during the 12th-13th centuries. Marvel at this stunning monument, originally constructed as a fortress and later transformed into a fortified monastery by Queen Tamar.

Explore the Assumption of Mary Church, one of the monastery’s 15 churches, and admire a beautiful mural featuring Giorgi III, Queen Tamar, and other notable figures from the monastery’s era.

Tour some of the monastery’s 600 storage facilities, refectories, wine cellars, and 185 wine jars before returning to Tbilisi. A lunch stop at a local restaurant is included, with meals available at your own expense.
