A safe, fun, and informative day! - The sights were truly a marvel and David, our guide, was so knowledgeable and lovely. We really appreciated his time and efforts to explain Georgia and its people. We especially appreciated the very safe drive — which now that we’ve been in other cars — has really been highlighted and sets this apart. Thank you!!!

Impressive day trip with great guide! - Everything worked perfectly and uncomplicated. Our guide Georgi picked us up on time at the hotel and accompanied us professionally throughout the day. During the trip to the destinations, he gave us great insights into Georgian history and culture. The tour was very well planned down to the last detail and really every excursion destination is highly recommended! Georgi showed us far more than we originally expected. Thank you so much for this great day, Georgi!

Interesting Day full of sight seeing including extra stops - Giorgi took is time to drive us from 9 a.m. till 8 p.m. from Okatse Canyon and Waterfall to Martvili Canyon and Prometheus Cave including a bathing break close to the waterfall and a lunch break during which he invited us to some ice cream. Additional to this "regular" programme, he even showed us a cool lost place sanatorium in Tskaltubo (where he took great pictures of us) and lead us to Sataplia national park which we had wished to see. Even after that he was always there for us via WhatsApp whenever we had a question for a potential trip near Kutaissi and also Batumi. His English is really good so that he's able to entertain with a lot of interesting facts and he's also open to explain Georgian culture and politics.

Beautiful scenery & tour with a fabulous guide - An active day with plenty of activities presented by a knowledgable and flexible guide. Understandably some of these attractions get busy in the summer months therefore going early in the day is advisable. Giorgi kindly adjusted our itinerary due to queues at Martvili and showed us the Soviet Sanatoriums in Tskaltubo and drove us to Gelati Monastery instead. Nice comfortable transport with air conditioning. Maybe worth advertising the admission fees for the attractions as they add a substantial amount (at tourist prices) to this excursion.

Breathtaking scenery - Giorgi was an excellent and informative guide who answered many questions about Georgia. He filled in time before the last Prometheus Caves tour by taking us to an extra monastery and Stalin's personal spa plunge bath! There were just one other couple and us on the tour so it felt tailored to our needs. The canyons, waterfalls were stunning, as was the extensive Prometheus cave - doing the last (7pm) tour of the latter meant a smaller crowd. Just bear on mind when budgeting this trip that you also need to pay entrance fees for both canyons, and the waterfall, and the cave - they are not cheap for non-Georgian visitors.

Awesome guide and tour of the beautiful Kutaisi area - We booked 2 tours with Giorgi and were extremely happy with both (1-the Martvili Canyon and Hanged Bridges of Okatse tour and 2-the Travel Kutaisi Ancient City and Prometheus Cave Tour). Giorgi adapted the tour to our interests and the weather. He was also very knowledgable about the sites, conversational during the car rides, and a careful driver. Thanks to Giorgi, we even got to see a few additional sites that weren't on the itinerary or frequented by tourists. We also appreciated his willingness and enthusiasm to hike at the different sites and allow us to take pictures (rather than just hopping in and out of the car).

Beautiful scenery but overpriced and over-protective - We got to Okatse Canyon at the end of a long day which included Martvili Canyon, the Hanging Walkway and other waterfalls in the area. Entrance price was the same as other places - 17.25 Lari, but IMO they should offer combo-tickets to this place because it's close to the others. The place was recently upgraded and walkways were added - but that was our main disappointment! Despite investing a lot in the walkways, they keep you far from the natural attraction you came to see, for no reason. With a little more thought the place could have been designed different to let people feel closer to nature instead of "herded along" on a metal walkway. The walkway is quite short and therefore overpriced

Fail - It was not their fault, but because of heavy rains the night before, all of the attractions were closed. They could have called ahead and spared me two hours of driving. The guide was boring and had almost nothing to say.
