I was truly impressed by everything I saw. Georgia’s nature is unique, breathtaking, and absolutely beautiful. Our guide, Nini, was wonderful, kind, and charming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to everyone!
The tour started promising with pick up from our hotel. Guide met us and on our way out from Batumi he told us some facts about Batumi. First stop was a short coffee break. Than we headed to Cave , it was truly amazaing, second attraction- canyon - wonderful, however the boat ride was not availabe due to high water levels in the river. We had a lunch in the restaurant near the canyon. Everything near the attractions is much more expensive than in the city. Ask the price before buying. I paid 20gel for pomegranate juice(i did not ask the price before, because i thought that it is going to be 6/7gel max). Keep in mind that there are no toilets near hot springs. Other toilets in attractions- 1 gel , so take some coins with you. Our guide was not talking much. Basically he told us some stories about Batumi, than about abandoned sanatoriums on our way to cave and that is it. Of course he helped people to buy tickets who needed help and did not understand. We speek English and Russian so we did not have any problems ticket office or to buy tickets. There was no stories about anything so i had a feeling that we have booked a ride not a tour. If i am booking tour i expect that there is a guide who tells stories about places. Bus was very uncomfortable, small space for legs, my husband is 1.80m and ge could not sit normally. Air conditioning was good but for that long trip we were expecting more comfortable seating. If tou do not care about guide and comfort , go ahead and book. Because places are amazing and beautiful.
Everything was well organized and smooth from start to finish
It shows the natural beauty of west Georgia. The Prometheus caves are really a wonder. The tour is well organised with tour guide who can speak multiple languages fluently.
Hello everyone, I would like to share my experience with this tour, and I am happy to give 5 out of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to the tour, the company, and the tour guide. 1. Cave Tour The cave tour was absolutely amazing. It was full of adventure and unique discoveries. Everything was very well organized, and the walkways were safe and comfortable. The lighting inside the caves beautifully highlighted the natural formations, creating a magical atmosphere. The cool temperature inside the caves and the incredible rock formations made it feel like a place from another world. 2. Martvili Canyon Tour This was another wonderful experience. The canyon, waterfalls, lush forests, and ancient trees created breathtaking scenery. The boat ride through the canyon was one of the highlights of the trip. Sailing between the trees in the cool mist was peaceful, safe, and truly unforgettable. The area also has restaurants and useful facilities for visitors, making the experience even more enjoyable. 3. Sulfur Waterfall and Hot Spring Tour This was a rare and unique experience. Watching the warm sulfur water flow into the river was fascinating. Visitors can enjoy bathing in the warm sulfur water and then cool off in the refreshing river. It is a beautiful natural destination that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. My Review of the Company The entire tour was very well organized. The company provided a modern Mercedes-Benz van that was extremely comfortable for long journeys. The vehicle featured excellent air conditioning, beautiful interior lighting, and charging ports for mobile phones, making the trip even more convenient. My Review of the Tour Guide Our tour guide was exceptional. He stayed with us for 12 hours, always energetic, smiling, and incredibly helpful. He made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the trip, explained every destination clearly, and even helped us with translation whenever needed. His professionalism, kindness, and positive attitude made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, this was an incredible and unforgettable trip. My sincere thanks to the company for the excellent organization, to our amazing tour guide for his outstanding service, and to all the wonderful people in our tour group. It was a pleasure traveling with all of you, and I wish everyone a happy and memorable vacation.
Great destinations and amazing nature. It took much longer then anticipated. Overall very good experience.
great experience with the guide and everybody. tour was well organised and guide was very helpful throughout. the car was a little cramped but it was bearable.
Small group, well organised. Very long trip.
Today's trip was to 3 places, a stalactite cave, Martvill Park and hot springs. The trip lasted about 13 hours with a coffee break along the way and dinner at the end. Although it rained towards the end, we did not give up and continued the wonderful cruise even in the rain. We would like to especially mention the attention and willingness to help of the guide Nini, who took care of us with an umbrella and personally watched over my wife so that she did not slip. In conclusion, it was not easy, but we really enjoyed the trip itself and the warm attitude of the guide Nini. Thank you, Chaya & Itzchak Fogel Israel
The experience was nice and unforgettable
