Would not recommend this tour - very poor guide and you get scammed with the restaurant and entry tickets. In the ad you are informed that there is an extra fee for the cave, canyon and lunch but you don't know there is no applicable kids' discount (as for the locals) and that the total of the excursion would exceed what you have paid upfront with more than 100%. The sights are nice but nothing we haven't seen or experienced and is not worth the money. You are driven to a specific restaurant with no alternative choice. When we got back to Tbilisi there was a thunderstorm and I asked whether they could drop us close to our hotel, but this was rejected. My kids and I were not happy with this trip.
This is a fake review
Nice tour, despite weather, it is worth money, nice people with tour guide, who knows everything... :)
It was a great day and the tour guides were very friendly and you could ask whatever you wanted and they knew everything. The Prometheus Cave was impressive and the restaurant delicious.
This tour left us stranded in Kutaisi. We had a canyons tour with a transfer afterwards from Kutaisi to Tbilisi. The tour company reached out to us at 8pm the night before to notify us that the other group had cancelled and therefore they were canceling our trip even though we had received confirmation. They did not even give us a refund and instructed us that we needed to contact Viator. We told them the tour was not so much the concern as the transfer to Tbilisi from Kutaisi. They did not seem to care and we were left scrambling to figure out transportation at night instead of going out to dinner. This company is awful and will leave you stranded, avoid at all costs.
This is not true . We did not cancel anything . It was raining and attractions were closed .We informed about it on day before . We explained you many times , but you still can not understand .
It was very fun, enjoyable, and memorable experience. Really enjoyed the caves, rivers and especially the waterfalls. We also able to get really close to waterfall and enjoyed playing with refreshing water 👍🫰
The tour guide was very friendly and guided us everywhere. Pickup and drop was on time. Boating was closed due to high water level but we got to explore waterfall and caves. I recommend the tour as it is well paced and well planned.
Martvili Canyon is an absolute gem. The scenery is breathtaking — lush canyon walls, rushing water, and a stunning waterfall cascading directly into the gorge that alone makes the visit worthwhile. We couldn't do the boat trip due to heavy rain and high water levels, but honestly it didn't matter — the views from the walkways more than made up for it. A huge thank you to our guide Anna, who made the whole experience even more special. Highly recommend! Pro tip: If you're flying drone, use the ticket center terrace or else stray dogs will tear down your drone.
Beautiful locations…. Amazing tour guide would recommend to everyone enjoys nature. Thanks Ana for the experience!
Ana was an amazing tour guide. Had a really great time on the tour!! Loved my time in Georgia!
Ana was great! Would do again. Sadly weather was too bad for boats
