5.00Very good tour with guide Saba – beautiful monasteries with interesting histories. Motsameta was the highlight. These locations are not far from Kutaisi, so it's a short but very interesting tour. Recommend!
Saba was very friendly and explained to us very well each of the things we saw

4.00I really enjoyed this group tour! The guide was personable and informative, and he was even willing to stay over the allotted time to answer our questions/allow us to take pictures. I did wish we were able to see more of the Gelati Monastery (there’s a lot of renovation scaffolding no right now), but, overall, I would recommend this tour.
Top tour with good guide.
