Can we ski in Bakuriani on this day trip?
This is a sightseeing itinerary, not a ski day. If you want lift passes and ski time, tell us when booking and we can adjust the schedule or recommend a longer stay.
Is the Romanov palace open inside?
No, Likani Palace is a state residence and not open to the public. You see the gate and grounds from outside, checked at booking in case this changes.
What if we want to combine this with Vardzia or Rabati?
We run a two-day version, Borjomi, Bakuriani and Rabati, for travellers who want more time in the region. Ask us for details.
Is the price different for a solo traveller or a group?
The €195 per person rate is based on two people travelling together. Solo travellers and groups of three or more are quoted a different per-person rate, ask us for a figure before booking.
