Georgia · VARDZIA CAVE CITY TOURS

The 13 Best Vardzia Cave City Tours from Tbilisi

13 tours  ·  from $34 a head

Vardzia is thirteen tiers of rooms cut into a cliff and four hours from the capital, so every version of this is a long day. These 13 differ on whether Borjomi or Rabati fortress is added, and on how much time the cliff itself gets.

Bad organization, it wasn't created any interaction with the participants of the tour.”

Review of the Borjomi, Rabati, and Vardzia day tour from Tbilisi, with costs, timing, guides, stops, value, and practical booking advice.

“The trip was amazing, the sights were beautiful and our guide Giorgi was fantastic. One thing to notice, this tour is from Kutaisi so if you are from Tbilisi you will get shuttled to the meeting point. Sadly, the driver was an hour late to pick me up and because of that only saw the first stop for a couple of minutes. But that didn't make the trip very worth while. But if you are going to visit Kutaisi anyway you might be better to take the tour from there.”

The entire trip was professionally organized and so worth it!”

“The tour operator was stingy enough to book a vehicle which could just legally fit everyone with two people having to share the 1.5 seats on the front row, which made the car very packed and the experience very uncomfortable. Also, this tour is more suitable for people who could understand Russian. The explanations made in Russian were much more detailed than those made in English.”
