Unforgettable experience - Unforgettable experience. The guide, Giorgi K, was so friendly and welcoming. The 9 of us plus him felt like friends right away. It was a great and fun environment. We saw some truly beautiful sights and he gave just the right of information. He was lively the whole time and very smiley and helpful. Best person for the job for sure. I also want to note that I read reviews that said the driver wasn't safe, which scared me before booking, but I had the complete opposite experience and we were in rain and snow. He was careful and only.passed when necessary. I was comfortable and confident with our team.

Amazing tour with amazing people - Well organized tour with an amazing guide. Nice places to see especially Vardzia. The guide created a good atmosphere in the group.

1 day Tour - Great experience and wounderful day with Budget Georgia (1 day tour: Bourjomi, Rabati, Vardzia). Our guide Georgi Koghuashvili was perfekt guide. Friendly, competent. At the end of the Trip he was so kind to call us a Taxi und was waiting with us till it came. Tour was interesting, nice, perfekt organized. Driver also very good. 10 Points from 10. We recommend!

Good experience - It's a long trip with a lot of driving, but worth it if you enjoy mountain views. And Vardzia is definitely a must visit place in Georgia, would recommend this trip. Guide Giorgi Koghuashvili was great, gave enough info, but didn't overload with it, created welcoming atmosphere.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING - My friends and I - 3 of us booked this beautiful tour package which was absolutely well organized and planned so neatly by Budget Georgia! The timings , the schedule and the restaurants they recommended were all so fantastic!! Each place was breathtaking and it was only made possible thru budget Georgia folks! The tour guide was so knowledgeable and friendly and gave us enough time to explore the area and take pics too 😄👍🏻Had a great time really! I highly recommend everyone to take up this package cuz it was really worth it!! I'm planning to explore it again 😆😁✨

Excellent trip to Vardzia - We’ve been on a trip with tourguide George and driver Goga to Vardzia and it was fabulous! George really knows his stuff and speaks excellent english. He guided us with passion through every checkpoint- Borjomi, Rabath castle and finally Vardzia. We also could taste Nazuki- sweet Georgian bread. As a tourguide he took care of atmosphere with humor and was very kind to us throughout the trip. Not to forget our driver Goga who safely and also with passion drove to our final destination and back to Kutaisi ;) Thanks to them we will always remember what Megobari means.

Very nice tour with lots of beautiful places - It was a very intetesting tour! Quite long, but we could not have visited so many stuff without them. After this tour we booked another 2 different tours with them :) I recommend this company!

“Unforgettable” experience - I do not often write feedbacks, but I could not leave what happened during our trip without a comment. 1. The driver of our bus was putting our lives in danger, as he was driving on a crazy speed, trying to compete with other cars and big trucks to prove himself. I was very afraid especially during the evening time and could not enjoy the trip at all. I do not think that if something happened to us, Bugdet Georgia would carry any responsibility for it. 2. The organisation of the trip was very unprofessional. I had an impression that the guide himself was not interested in what he is doing, as he did not provide us much information. I felt like I could have educated myself better by using Wikipedia or watching Youtube videos. It is sad to see that employees of this company do not show any interest in proving quality experience to their customers. I do not say that a guide should necessarily have education in Georgian history, but at least a guide should show motivation and a bit of interest towards what he or she is doing. I felt like what we have paid for was not worth it at all. Basically, one can create same experiences by taking marshrutka and having a phone in their hand. However, for a way cheaper price. I must say, I am quite experienced traveller already, and have taken many different tours. But I have never experienced something like this in my life so far.

The trip was cancelled... - The trip was cancelled just a few hours before. Another tour was suggested which I did, and it was enjoyable, however I found the service very disappointing.

THINK TWICE BEFORE BOOKING - PROS 1) All places were visited according to the plan and definitely are worth to see. 2) Restaurant for the lunch was okay. In fact, all the pros are independent from the service provided by the company. ******************************************************************************************************** CONS 1) They provide you a near to death experience: We were literally on the verge of head-on collisions with other cars and once with a cow. The driver completely defied all traffic rules and our guide did nothing to ensure our safety. Some of the things the driver did: - always driving as fast as possible and never following speed limit - changing the lane to overtake vehicles whenever possible regardless of any traffic signs (he was actually racing with other drivers in multiple occasions) - watching videos and talking on his phone while driving at high speed - sharp brakes (some were done literally as a joke to wake up the people in the van) - listening to very loud music during the whole trip 2) Poor guidance: I was expecting to learn more about Georgia and it's history but instead got only a brief description of the places. In most of the occasions, he mentioned even less than the touristic information available on the visited site. We've many times passed by ruined castles, interesting buildings etc. but never heard of anything about them. In general, I've felt that the guide was neither motivated to speak nor knowledgeable about Georgia. 3) They are also a TRANSPORTATION company, not just a tour service. So please also keep this in your mind. In some locations we just stopped and spent 30min.-1h. for new passengers to arrive. They were transferring passengers from one van to another. These people were just using the van to reach their destination and had nothing to do with the original trip. 4) The trip is very long (12+ hours). Be prepared to be really exhausted.
