Great trip! - 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.

A great way to explore Georgia! - A great opportunity to see 3 different monuments with the English speaking guide. It would be hard on our own. All in one day and the driver left us at hotel. We recommend this trip :)

Nice tour - August 2023 - a great tour, the driver and the guide George did a great job. George guided us perfectly through the Footprint Path hike as well as through the cave town of Vardzia. Everything was very well organized, we booked the tour for 4 as a private tour. The hike is beautiful with great views. Vardzia is very exciting and very impressive - the long journey is worth it.

Excellent experience - Went to this tour with Saba. He was awesome.never felt bored. He explained not only these places but opened the doors of Georgia for us. He is highly recommended. My little daughter is huge fan of him now.

Beautiful places and great guide - We enjoyed the tour very much! Our guide Saba gave a good historical and other type of information. The trip is well organised - we were always on time but did not feel rushed.
All locations are very beautiful, especially view of mountains from Vardzia.
We would go with Budget Georgia again.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE FOR SOLO TRAVELLER - Budget Georgia is really highly recommended when travelling solo and with group. Ika our tour guide was really efficient and informative he gave us a Georgian hospitality. Vardzia was a breathtaking scenery and each stone and caves can tell a story. For sure I'm gonna book a tour again when I come back in Georgia. There's so much to see here.

They fulfill everything promised - It was a super fun experience. We saw everything indicated in the description surrounded by a very good atmosphere. What I liked the most is the direct attention from WhatsApp, since it gave me the peace of mind that if I got lost or the time changed or had any problem, I could talk to them directly, and in a very close way. Also compared to everything we have seen it is the cheapest, so they are faithful to everything they offer. We are going to do more tours with them these days that we are in Georgia. 😊👍

3.5/5 - Honestly for over $60 this experience was rather disappointing. The 3 places were beautiful, but as they're quite far, it felt like we just spent the whole day in the car and for example in Borjomi we literally just sprinted through the park. Our young guide was friendly but spoke really broken English and simply didn't have the qualities of an experienced tour guide. The whole time it felt like he just wanted the tour to be over and to be back at home. For that reason we also skipped lunch and he dropped off in Gori. Our driver was clearly good at his job but all throughout the journey he happily continued using his phone, which really wasn't ideal. We also had to pay somewhat high entrance fees everywhere so overall it turned out to be quite an expensive trip and I'm afraid the value didn't justify the cost.

Dangerous driving with incompetent driver/guid - Nice place to visit but I’d avoid going with this travel agency for sure.
Non competent driver/guid. We were about to have accidents 2 times.
We were two couples in this tour, we were all stressed during the road because of bad driving.
We are also not sure if the driver was actually a guid , he didn’t tell us facts/stories about each attraction we visited. It was a strange not to have a professional guide for this price.
He allowed other tour sales persons to keep coming and try to upsell us some non sense trip within our trip (ex electric car tour and 4x4 tour ..etc)
Of course you have to pay an entry fee for few places.
All in all I’d recommend to avoid it.
