Christian inspired Caves - Amazing Christian ruins. Caves man nade. Church was partuculary impressive. Frescos were still visible after hundreds of years. Our tour guide did an amazing job of reviewing history of the caves.

Varzia Caves (primary), Rabat, Barjomi - This was a fantastic all day trip! Our guide (from friendly.ge) was super knowledgeable about the history of each site, very engaging, and personable. Don't miss the amazing chapel in the Varzia caves. This was a great introduction to the region. :)

Private tour to Vardzia - 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!
