Very interesting tour

5.00Georgia is one of the best places to explore Soviet architecture. Georgia is home to brutalist architecture like monuments, apartment buildings, abandoned hotels and Soviet hydropower stations. This tours covers it all and it's awesome.
Visit Tskaltubo sanatoriums.

5.00Trip to Tskaltubo is one of the most memorable tours for those people having interest in Soviet past and architectural history. Those Soviet time abandoned hotels are must see places where time and nature have taken over. I definitely recommend this tour.

5.00We visited Stalin's museum in Gori with friends and explored several Soviet buildings in Tbilisi as well with Zviad. Stalin's museum is quite interesting and Soviet districts in Tbilisi are worth exploring as well. We didn't have time to visit Rustavi but will definitely do it next time.
Explore brutalist architecture of Georgia

5.00Me and my boyfriend were offered the shorter version of the tour including Chiatura and Tskaltubo. In order to explore the Soviet past of Georgia and so called brutal architecture this tour is one of the best options. Both Chiatura and Tskaltubo are very nice. If you have time you can visit Enguri hydropower station as well, our friends have been and they enjoyed it a lot.
