“A tremendous day tour from kutaisi. Martvili canyon is beautiful and the boat ride is pleasant. Promatheus caves are the longest caves we have seen till yet. Our guide Teona was excellent in explaining everything and knows good english. We traveled whole gerogia and took many tours but Teona is exceptional and always has a beautiful smile on her face with a good answer to every question. Okatse canyon was closed so our guide offered us to see abandoned sanatoriums to see and they were good also. overall a beautiful experience and a day worth rememberable in our life. thank you Teona”
