5.00Ropeways and views in Chiatura are very nice. The town still has a Soviet feel while Tskaltubo is a special place as well with awesome abandoned buildings. I saw many of them and they are in very poor condition although very interesting. Thank you

5.00Tskaltubo is a very interesting town with abandoned so called sanatoriums. This is an ideal place for people enjoying decayed buildings and ones interested in photography. I enjoyed the tour a lot and the lunch place recommended was also nice.

The tour that did not happen

1.00I booked this private tour via Tripadvisor just 2 days before the actual date. I know it was kind of last minute as I had a free day. But i checked that it was available and booked it and right away send a nessage to the operator. I only received a reply the next day telling me he could not do because he is occupied. Not only that he added who would do this tour at that price! I do not expect this kind of unprofessional remarks. The price is what is quoted in Tripadvisor and as a purchaser, I pay according to what is reflected. If you think that the price is too low then you should discuss it with your middlemen 'tripadvisor or Viator' and increase it accordingly and not to sarcasticly blame your unhappiness to the customer. I do not aporeciate it and it is unbecoming of someone in your industry where you should be professional and customer oriented.

5.00I’ve used this company’s services several times and I was always very happy and satisfied. I’ve been to Tbilisi, Kazbegi, Kakheti, Gori and Chiatura. Chiatura is a very special place. This place takes you back to the twentieth century and is really worth visiting. Food was perfect. Thanks for the memories.
Professional guide and a professional driver.

5.00Chiatura - the Soviet ghost town. You will get to see very strange buildings and amazing landscapes. The cable cars were recenty changed and they are safe. Stalin’s museum in Gori was also interesting while lunch in Imereti was one of the best ones I have ever had. Thank you.
Amazing experience to Chiatura.
