Explore Martvili Canyon, Prometheus Cave, and Nokalakevi Hot Springs on a full-day nature trip from Batumi with transport and a guide.
“The only good thing I can credit here is the undeniable beauty of local nature. Wherever we stopped, it was a real eye-pleaser. Now, as to the cons: 1) I have nothing against the guide personally, so it’s not a character attack at all. She was a nice person. However, it’s hard to call this a “guided” tour since the guide does not speak English well. Trust me, this criticism does not come from a place of entitlement, like I expect everyone in the world to know English because it’s a lingua franca. However, if your job is to be a tour guide for foreigners who chose English as the…”

“The hiking trip to the top of the waterfall is difficult, but you may forget this part once you start going down with the ropes. The guide George is fluent in English & was helpful in all the trip parts. He is a true professional who will show you how to use your equipment correctly & secure your safety for the whole trip long. The trip is exceptional allows you to see the powder of nature & beauty.”
Review of Batumi’s canyon tour to Martvili, Okatse, and Prometheus Cave, with practical advice on cost, weather, guides, and timing.
“Unfortunately we couldn't get the canyon experience as the water level was quite high due to rains which we were not informed/aware of till we got there. Took a jeep trip to see some spots at one of the canyon sites, but wasn't worth it. Jeep rates are non standard and requires haggling, overall experience isn't great and so we skipped the second canyon. The caves were ok. Better to check the weather in advance as without the boat experience in canyons, it's just a to and fro drive for not much. Route was scenic and we had a good driver, but would be helpful to have a full time…”

“I booked a private tour to Mtirala National Park. Picked up from the hotel exactly on time by the guide Beka and driver Mamuka. Took us about 40 minutes to get to Mtirala National Park, where we visited the lake and the waterfall via the Chestnut trail. Easy hiking and beautiful scenary. The Beka, was kind, showed alot of knowledge and provided interesting data about the national park and local culture. Very fluent in the English language. There was possibility to do Zipline between the trees, but I decided to skip. Back in Batumi after about five hours. Recommended.”

Review of a 4-day Svaneti hiking tour from Batumi or Kutaisi, with glaciers, Ushguli, guesthouses, meals, and small-group guiding.
“George is both a pro and a fun guy to be around. We checked about doing the hikes by ourselves, but having George around definately enriched our experience with his knowledge and selecting for us the best routes to go to the hikes and back. The hikes themselves were challenging enough while not being too difficult. The main problem we ran into was rain something I was not prepared enough for.”
