Best tour I did in Georgia
This was the best tour I had on my trip to Georgia. Our guide, Sandra, was super fun and engaging. She was super knowledgeable on Tskaltubo and Georgia as a whole. Our tour even went on longer than planned as she was happy to wait for us to get the perfect picture and because we were all having so much fun. The abandoned Sanatoriums were also super photogenic. The contrast between the previous opulence and how it is now so run down was super interesting and made for great pictures. Thank you so much Sandra and Megobari Tours. This was a great tour and a lot of fun.

This is a fantastic tour with an excellent company and should not be missed.
We had two fantastic guides named Gia and Jemali( driver) from the company. They were both very bright, entertaining and enthusiastic. They were from Megobari Tours, Georgia who appear to be an excellent company. We asked many in depth questions and they answered them will ease. We enjoyed their company and they obviously enjoy going on this tour. To the left of the hot springs facilty there was a nice bee keeper who we bought high quality, fresh and cheap honey. Look out for him. Thank you Gia and Jemali for a fantastic 4 hour in depth tour

A fantastic tour, not to be missed
This is a fantastic tour. We were lucky as there was just the two of us and we had Gia and Jemali. Both are great guides and Jemali was the driver. Gia was the main guide and was entertaining and had a fantastic knowledge about the Sanatoriums and Georgia. We have been to Georgia before and still learnt so much. Both guides had masters degrees and we were in very knowledgeable hands. A sanitarium tour doesn’t sound interesting but this one is and is not to be missed. We also bought some beautiful fresh honey(cheap) from the honey man to the left of the hot springs facility.

Highlight of Kutaisi stay
It was really a highlight of our trip! Sanatoriums were amazing and mysterious and by hearing their history from our amazing guide Fifo we really submerged ourself in the climate, also we learn more about Sakartvelo (Georgian) history . It was raining during our tour which add some additional flavour to this urbex complex. If You are considering..Just go! It’s really worth seeing

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Explore Tskaltubo Soviet Era Sanatoriums from Kutaisi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kutaisi.
How much does Explore Tskaltubo Soviet Era Sanatoriums from Kutaisi cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kutaisi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Explore Tskaltubo Soviet Era Sanatoriums from Kutaisi take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kutaisi is not rushed.
Is Explore Tskaltubo Soviet Era Sanatoriums from Kutaisi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kutaisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Explore Tskaltubo Soviet Era Sanatoriums from Kutaisi?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Explore Tskaltubo Soviet Era Sanatoriums from Kutaisi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Explore Tskaltubo Soviet Era Sanatoriums from Kutaisi?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kutaisi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kutaisi and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Explore Tskaltubo Soviet Era Sanatoriums from Kutaisi start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kutaisi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kutaisi?
+
On Outty we rank every Kutaisi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include CANYONS & CAVE Tour from Kutaisi - Okatse, Martvili & Prometheus, Kutaisi:Chiatura Tour with Katskhi Pillar & Cable Car Experience, From Kutaisi: Martvili & Okatse Canyons & Cave Guided Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kutaisi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kutaisi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
