Day tour to Kutaisi - Prometheus Cave

Prometheus cave is fantastic as well as Gelati monastery and Montsamenta monestary. Shota guide is very very good,infotmative,gsve us a lot of information about Georgia,Tbilidi snd monestaries we vidited. Boat ride in the cave is mandatory. My only suggestion is to make order for the lunch from the bus instead to go to the restorant before visiting cave just to make lunch order. It will leave more free tome for monosteries.

Transportation. The vehicle used was an 8-seater, with two of these seats designed for children (middle seats). There were four clients, the driver, the guide and an intern trainee in the vehicle. My wife and I spent 8 hours swapping seats to share the burden of having to use one of the children seats. At no time did the driver or the guide inquired about our well-being or comfort. After my wife mentioned that the seats were very uncomfortable for an adult, there were no reactions from the guide. One of the seatbelts receptacles kept falling through a hole in the seat to the floor of the vehicle every time the belt was unbuckled; forcing me to squeeze my hand through the opening and reach under the seat to the floor every time we got back into the vehicle to use the seatbelt.- Organization. The tour had two linguistic groups, Russian and English. The Russian couple was seated on the back seat and we were seated on the middle seat. Thus, the few times the guide bothered to provide explanations, he had to speak to us in English and shout over our head to the Russian couple who was sitting behind us. Not a pleasant experience for neither. The level of knowledge of the guide was basic and did not add much value other than what we could gleaned from Wikipedia. Upon stopping for lunch, the guide did not provide any leadership. It was essentially sit wherever you want and order whatever you want with little assistance with dealing with the restaurant staff. It was the trainee intern who came to assist us in translating the menu. Upon arrival at the Prometheus Caves, he rushed us through the counter so we could buy our ticket for an English-language tour. It was not. It was a tri-linguistic group of 60 persons including a class of 20 screaming children led by a soft-spoken guide. Not her fault, but a group of this size should have never been allowed. End state was we lost most of the explanations. - Programme. The tour we paid for should have included a stop at the Sataplia caves. When the guide said we were returning to Tbilisi, we told him we had booked for these caves as well. He said they did not do that. We did not argue because we were fed up with him and knew we had three hours of sitting in children seats to get back to our hotel. We spent five days in Georgia and did three excursions. This excursion was well below average compared to the other two in terms of solicitude on the part of the accompanying staff

This tour was amazing !!! Best value for money. However the Sataplia cave was skipped during my tour which was a bummer. I was expecting to see the dinosaur footprints.

The tour was amazing! The guide kept us all entertained there and back, singing and dancing! The caves were ace. It was nice to have a meal with the rest of the group, on some tours you are left for an hour or so at lunchtime. Highly recommended!
