Due to weather, boating trips were cancelled for the safety of everyone which i highly appreciate. We enjoyed the places under the rain, amazed with how Georgians protected the caves and the trees. This trip is ideal for travellers who want to enjoy the beauty of the nature! We recommend David to be your guide, one of the best!

A most interesting, thought-provoking, and above all enjoyable tour of the historic Georgian city of Kutaisi. Monstaries, caves, ruins, parks, museums...a lot to take in. Best of all, you are guided by a very friendly and knowledgeable Kutaisi native who will make sure this will be a day to remember.

Эти места стоит увидеть. В Мартвили и пещера Прометея отличная туристическая инфраструктура. Каньон Окаце можно пойти пешком по живописной тропе примерно 2 километра. Но если здоровье не позволяет можно добраться на джипе, местные оказывают такой сервис.

Georgi è stato un’ottimo autista e una buona guida. Sempre prodigo di spiegazioni e sempre con il sorriso.

The 1600 Stairs Excursion! Nevertheless, definitely do it. Beautiful views, impressive.
