Itinerario
Comenzaremos nuestro recorrido en Tbilisi. Por la mañana, el guía y el conductor lo recogerán del hotel en cualquier lugar de Tbilisi.
Esta es una de las fortalezas más antiguas de Georgia y funcionó durante todo el período feudal georgiano. Está situado en el sur de Georgia, en la región de Meskheti. La fortaleza fue construida por primera vez en el siglo segundo antes de Cristo. La iglesia fue construida en 985, y las paredes actuales se construyeron en 1354. Como dice la leyenda, Khertvisi fue destruido por Alejandro Magno.
Vardzia: el monasterio que data del siglo XII dC, ubicado a orillas del río Mtkvari, es uno de los sitios históricos más importantes de Georgia. Similar a las ciudades de la cueva que se pueden encontrar en la región de Goreme, Turquía, sin embargo, esta es aún más grande, tallada en toda la pared del acantilado, con una iglesia bellamente decorada. La ubicación, en medio de un enorme desfiladero, ofrece vistas inolvidables. Hasta este día, algunos monjes todavía viven en esas cuevas.
Construido en el siglo XIII, el castillo de Rabati se desarrolló bajo la influencia de diferentes culturas durante los siglos posteriores y esto se refleja en su arquitectura. Dentro del complejo de castillos de 7 hectáreas hay una iglesia, una mezquita, un minarete y una sinagoga.
Borjomi es una famosa ciudad turística, popular por sus distintas aguas minerales. El agua del pozo aquí es varias veces más fuerte que el agua Borjomi que se puede comprar en las tiendas. Borjomi tiene muchos hoteles y fue muy popular en la época soviética, de los cuales todavía encontrará muchos edificios en la ciudad. Sobre el centro de la ciudad se encuentra una meseta con una noria y otros hoteles, que ofrecen una excelente vista de la región y las montañas. Además, el cercano Parque Nacional Borjomi Kharagauli es el más grande de Georgia y un popular destino de senderismo.

I had an amazing private tour to Vardzia cave city, which is such a unique place as well as Rabati and Borjomi! The whole experience was very well organized and my guide, Aleksi, was excellent. The drive from Tbilisi is long, but he made it very comfortable and safe with his great driving. He also shared lots of interesting historical details during the tour and even helped me take beautiful photos along the way. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Georgia

You will remember your visit to Vardzia well. If you come to Georgia, I definitely recommend a visit. You will see how Georgians lived and defended themselves from enemies in the Middle Ages.

I visited Vardzia on a private day tour with Khatuna as my guide and had a wonderful time. Alex was very responsive and easy to communicate with over email when I was booking the trip and Khatuna contacted me over Whatsapp ahead of time to confirm and so I had a way to communicate with her if needed, and let me know the color and license number of her car so I could more easily find her, all communication details which I appreciated especially as a solo female traveller. Vardzia is of course amazing, the drive is long but I really enjoyed seeing rural Georgia along the way. Very pretty scenery. Khatuna was great company for the long day and I learned so much from her about Georgia and its people, both past and present. I would highly recommend Friendly.ge as a company, their level of professionalism in terms of reliability and communication is definitely a higher standard than the norm in Georgia from what I observed and I would happily use their services again. Thank you Khatuna and Alex!
We were very pleased with the trip to Wardzia and Rabati. Since we were staying in Borjomi, our guide, Alexi, met us there this morning in the hotel lobby. Alexi is a very pleasant and friendly man. On the way, he told us in detail and interestingly about the history of the places we were going to and much more about the history and modernity of Georgia. At our request, he told us how to cook khachapuri and chkmeruli, for which he has a special thanks! Alexi helped us navigate Vardzia, showed us the most interesting caves and guided us through the rock-cut passages. We climbed up to the very top floor of this cave town, offering breathtaking views. After that, we went to Akhaltsikhe, where the Rabati fortress is located. It was December 31, and the entrance to the interior of the fortress was closed earlier than usual. But Alexi led us up the fortress wall, which allowed us to see the structures inside. After that, he took us, at our request, to a nice restaurant where the locals cook well and where they go. We drove back to Tbilisi. Alexi dropped us off on the way to the supermarket, and in Tbilisi he took us to the apartment we had booked. Alexi's a great conversationalist, well-versed in Georgian history, and we talked all the way. I want to express our gratitude to him for this wonderful day on the eve of the New Year! I would also like to point out that the car was very comfortable and Alexi drove it very carefully.
