Historically exciting and recommended: We visited four beautiful churches, moving from one romantic hill to the next, partly in enchanted locations. You are driven around, the two guides were very motivated, and I had a lot of fun.
A lovely scenic tour.

Very 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

I 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.
