Discover the non-touristic Georgia on this full day trip to the macabre town of Chiatura - once a modern mining town with highest number of cable cars, it resembles a ghost town today with its abandoned mines, empty apartments and decaying Soviet architecture. The time seems to stand still here and so you can take a ride in one of the last rusty cable cars, overlooking the factories, enjoy the panorama view from the half-abandoned concrete settlements on the hills and see a morbide dedication to Stalin here and there. On our tour we also visit the country side of Imereti region, that builds a contrast to industrial Chiatura - the ancient holy pillar of Katskhi with a tiny church on top or the rock hew Mgvimevi convent with frescoes from XIV century.

Inclusions: See the old cable cars of Chiatura and explore the abandoned areas in the ghost like town, Visit the Mgvimevi monastery - the only one where the church is built inside a natural cave, Katskhi sveti - a natural stone pilar with a church on top, Private tour with local guide, who knows the best locations., Perfect for photographers, WiFi on board, Bottled water

Exclusions: Lunch (we can recommend our favorite spots), Gratuities

Perhaps one of the best guides I've ever met - and I work in tourism myself - . iAll an ill, he is a great guide and highly recommended. Needless to say that the destinations, both natural and cultural destinations are beautiful and well worth visiting. Thank you Girogi!

If you wish to explore off the beaten path sights, this one day tour to Katskhi pillar and Chiatura from Tbilisi might be interesting. You will see a monastery on 40 m high hill, where monk Maxime has been living in solitude for 25 years. The Katskhi pillar will gift you breathtaking views, and you will feel the silence of this place. Plunge into the Soviet time visiting Chiatura. Look around the town riding communism-era cable cars.

Our trip guided by David was perfect! David knows and loves so much about Georgia and is so happy to share it with you. It made me love Georgia, too. He is very responsible and a lot of fun and he let us decide much about how we want that trip to be, in order to give us the best experience. The trip during winter was just amazing with everything so white in the mountains, covered in snow, and the peace at Gergeti Trinity Church, the monestaries we stoped at, the changing views besides the road (the water reservoir, the wild river, then the mountains...), the Georgian lunch we had, the breathtaking view at the friendship monument.

The whole tour felt like improvising. I had no idea how all other people had so nice review. The tour guide somehow brought his girlfriend on the trip and basically ignored us and was smoking in the car the whole journey. At night we were in a local family and they had sex throughout the night; which would have been fine, but considered that the sound insulation was so bad and they did it so loud the WHOLE night. It was not fine. Absolutely not worth the price. I know about Georgian hospitality, we met really nice Georgians along the ways but Irakli was not one of them.

This is more than a review: this is the story about how I fell in love with Georgia, its people and everything that turned an unpretentious trip to a foreign country into something extraordinary, including the awesome team of Gamarjoba Tours. These guys will go above and beyond to accommodate all your needs and make you feel at home... And when I say that, I really, REALLY mean it - Georgian hospitality at its best! Tata, our amazing blue-haired tour guide, couldn't be recommended enough. As she led our way through snowy mountains and wine glasses, Tata became an instant friend and made the whole experience even more special :) It was trully an unforgettable trip and I can't wait to go back!
