- Rabati Castle - Proceed to Rabati Castle, a quaint fortress located at the highest point in the city of Akhaltsikhe. Learn about the castle’s rich history, which gradually deteriorated after being captured by the Russian Imperial Army during the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829, before being fully restored in 2011-2012.
- Vardzia - Then, journey to Vardzia, a cave monastery complex hewn into rock during the 12th-13th centuries. Be captivated by one of Georgia’s most scenic monuments, initially constructed as a fortress but later designated a fortified monastery by Queen Tamar.
Visit the Assumption of Mary Church, one of the monastery’s 15 churches. Appreciate a stunning mural portraying Giorgi III, Queen Tamar, and other nobles from the era of the monastery’s creation.
After exploring some of the monastery’s 600 storage facilities, refectories, shacks, pantries, backup storages, 25 wine cellars, and 185 wine jars, the journey returns to Tbilisi. A stop is made during the day for lunch at a restaurant, at your own expense.

Lads trip - This excursion involves a lot of travel 15 hours plus!! However is was a good experience. Our guide George gave a detailed and informative tour throughout. It's a long journey but there where plenty of toilet stops. The restaurant stop was also good.

Cave trip - The wife and I took this tour, as it's the easiest way to reach the cave city. Pick-up was smooth, they arrived on time, but appeared to overbook as people were moved from the van to a car. The guide George was great, approachable and knowledgeable. It's a very long day. Although they advised a 7pm return, don't plan on getting back until after 10pm. The highlight is the caves. The Bojomi stop is a bit of a waste of time, as by 8pm you are ready to go home. The driver of our twenty seater bus was on his phone and texting while driving, which is common in Georgia, but with a bus load of people, we thought it was very ordinary. Pack your own lunch and snacks.

If the guide and driver can be more professional - I put 3 stars because the guide Tio was not professional, first he didn’t use the loudspeaker to speak in the car (which I requested), his voice is low and we couldn’t hear well. He is also not too informative about the location we visited. Then the driver was super rude to us, he shouted many times during the trip towards a guest who put her feet on the seat. He doesn’t need to shout, maybe he was very stressful. The place we visited was great.

The tour operator was... - 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.
