A two-day trip to Samtskhe-Javakheti without racing down the highway. On day one we walk through Borjomi park, taste mineral water straight from the spring and, if you like, ride the cable car above the town. In the evening we reach Akhaltsikhe and stay the night. On the morning of day two we visit Rabati Fortress, where a church, a mosque and a synagogue stand inside the same walls, then drive on to Vardzia, a 12th-century monastery carved into the cliff in the time of Queen Tamar. We head back to Batumi after lunch.

  • Borjomi's mineral water park and the cable car above the town
  • Rabati Fortress, where a church, a mosque and a synagogue stand side by side
  • Vardzia, a 12th-century cave monastery cut into the rock
  • A night in Akhaltsikhe, so day two starts without a long drive

✓We find guides and drivers through personal connections and referrals, not open listing boards. Before adding anyone to the catalog we meet them in person and see the person and the car in real life. We don't request or store documents (driving licence, vehicle registration) — what exactly we don't verify is listed honestly below.
What we don't verify
  • We do not collect or store documents: passports, licenses, vehicle registration. Verification happens at an in-person meeting, not through file uploads.
  • We do not perform technical inspections of vehicles and have no authority to do so.
  • We do not verify insurance or confirm its existence.
  • We are not involved in payment and are not a party to your transaction.
  • We do not issue or confirm licenses, certifications or professional credentials. Those are external documents that the platform doesn't manage.
