What To Expect
Journey to Kutaisi – Cave Wonders & Soviet Spas
Kutaisi
We hit the road at 09:00 from Tbilisi toward Western Georgia. First stop: Kutaisi Old Square — the city’s buzzing center. Grab a seat at a local spot your guide recommends and dive into authentic Western Georgian flavors before the adventure kicks into high gear.
Prometheus Cave
Next, we head to the legendary Prometheus Cave. Step inside a world of sparkling stalactites, underground rivers, and dramatic rock formations. Weather permitting, you can even take a short boat ride through the cave’s hidden waterways — a magical way to experience its mysterious beauty.
Tskaltubo
Step into the ghostly charm of Tskaltubo’s abandoned sanatoriums. These once-luxurious Soviet-era spas now stand frozen in time. Wander the crumbling corridors and imagine the stories of the people who once came here to heal and relax. A surreal spot for adventurers and photographers
Colchis Fountain
Arrive at your Kutaisi hotel and let your guide point you to the best evening hangouts and must-try dinner spots.
Cathedrals, Canyons & Homeward Journey
Bagrati Cathedral
Day 2 begins with a visit to the iconic Bagrati Cathedral. Perched on a hilltop overlooking Kutaisi, this historic site offers stunning views and a glimpse into Georgia’s rich past. Take your time to explore the cathedral and soak in the atmosphere before heading to the next adventure.
Martvili Canyon
After exploring Bagrati Cathedral, we continue our journey to Martvili Canyon. Wander along the canyon’s serene waters, snap photos of the striking cliffs, and enjoy an optional boat ride through the calm, emerald waterways — an unforgettable way to experience one of Georgia’s natural gems.
On the way back to Tbilisi, there’s an optional stop for one last taste of Western Georgia. You can enjoy a relaxed lunch with hearty local dishes before continuing the drive to the city.
Tbilisi
At the end of this private adventure, you’ll carry with you the sights, sounds, and flavors of Western Georgia. From majestic landscapes to rich history and local traditions, these two days offer experiences and memories that last a lifetime.

5.00I had the pleasure of participating in a three-day trip with a fantastic guide, and I have nothing but positive things to say! Our guide Giga was extremely friendly and impressed us with his extensive knowledge of the places we visited. He spoke perfect English, which made communication very pleasant. Our guide's punctuality and courtesy were impressive. He truly cared about us and gave us great restaurant recommendations that enriched our culinary experiences. What I particularly appreciated was the personalized design of the trip. We had the opportunity to travel away from the typical tourist destinations and experience the authentic side of the region. It was an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to everyone!
Muro & Giga were fantastic!

5.00Better late than never. We decided to go to Kutaisi last minute and we got the best help. Giga arranged our transfers and trip without any issues. Muro our driver was great! We didn’t have any concrete plans and were mainly deciding what to do and where to go based on how we feel. Very flexible, understanding and kind guys who helped us explore Kutaisi and Batumi. PS. Muro took us to one of the best and most affordable Georgian restaurant too. ❤️ Totally recommend this tour and team!

5.00It's my 2nd time in Georgia and also my 2nd time with Giga as my guide. He provided me and my girlfriend our itinerary for 8 days and this Kutaisi trip was one to remember. We also went to Mestia for our snow experience and it was something special. Would definitely recommend and vouch 11 regions. As usual, above my expectations and totally satisfied our vacation.
Excellent tour with a professional guide

5.00Our second trip across Georgia with Giga's "11 Regions" company. Temo was our guide for the second time. Visiting Stalin's museum, Uplistsikhe caves, Kutaisi region. This trip was even better than the first one. Many sights to see - all of them amazing. Temo was giving full information about the places. Very helpful and responsive to our wishes. He picked the correct timing to avoid crowds as much as possible. Selected good restaurants for lunch and dinner. The food in Kutaisi region is amazing. You have to try .... well everything. Overall i am very pleased with the service Giga's 11 Regions company provided to me and my family.

5.00This tour was really good as well, i like most is the rafting, beautiful views while rafting and also the falls. It’s so refreshing. Also, thanks to Giga, who always recommend the best restaurant in town during our tour. Everything is so good! I will never forget when we had lunch next to the river, while waiting to our food, we had chance to dip our feet on the river and just enjoy it like a children. We had fun.
A Must-see Tour - Highly Recommended
