What To Expect
Katskhi Pillar
At the top of the cliff stands a church built between the 6th and 8th centuries. In ancient times the Katskh pillar was revered by locals as a symbol of the god of fertility. After accepting Christianity, people believed that this is a place where a person can come closer to God.

5.00We had a full day private tour with Giorgi to Chiatura, it was really great experience. As a family with two small kids, we were not easy to handle, but Giorgi was very kind and respectful. I fully recommend him.
The best Kutaisi tour guide!

5.00Giorgi was a superb tour guide, he speaks great English and communicated with me ahead of time on Whatsapp, and even offered to show me around Tskaltubo in addition to Chiatura, which I definitely could not have done on my own in the time allotted. He was born and raised in Kutaisi so his stories from growing up there during the late Soviet years add really nice background color as you get to know this part of Georgia.
