Very friendly tour guide...
Very friendly tour guide and comfortable bus (which we also used as a transfer from Kutaisi to Tbilisi). Only the entrance fees to the cave and canyon didn‘t match the tour description (they were both 40 lari admission + optional boat tour 30 lari).

Would NOT recommend this tour
Would not recommend this tour - very poor guide and you get scammed with the restaurant and entry tickets. In the ad you are informed that there is an extra fee for the cave, canyon and lunch but you don't know there is no applicable kids' discount (as for the locals) and that the total of the excursion would exceed what you have paid upfront with more than 100%. The sights are nice but nothing we haven't seen or experienced and is not worth the money. You are driven to a specific restaurant with no alternative choice. When we got back to Tbilisi there was a thunderstorm and I asked whether they could drop us close to our hotel, but this was rejected. My kids and I were not happy with this trip.
Response from the operator: This is a fake review

It was a great day and...
It was a great day and the tour guides were very friendly and you could ask whatever you wanted and they knew everything. The Prometheus Cave was impressive and the restaurant delicious.

Tour cancelled last minute and would not provide transfer as confirmed
This tour left us stranded in Kutaisi. We had a canyons tour with a transfer afterwards from Kutaisi to Tbilisi. The tour company reached out to us at 8pm the night before to notify us that the other group had cancelled and therefore they were canceling our trip even though we had received confirmation. They did not even give us a refund and instructed us that we needed to contact Viator. We told them the tour was not so much the concern as the transfer to Tbilisi from Kutaisi. They did not seem to care and we were left scrambling to figure out transportation at night instead of going out to dinner. This company is awful and will leave you stranded, avoid at all costs.
Response from the operator: This is not true . We did not cancel anything . It was raining and attractions were closed .We informed about it on day before . We explained you many times , but you still can not understand .

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Kutaisi: Canyons and Caves Tour with Transfer to Tbilisi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kutaisi.
How much does From Kutaisi: Canyons and Caves Tour with Transfer to Tbilisi cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 From Kutaisi: Canyons and Caves Tour with Transfer to Tbilisi take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 From Kutaisi: Canyons and Caves Tour with Transfer to Tbilisi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 31 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 From Kutaisi: Canyons and Caves Tour with Transfer to Tbilisi?
+
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 From Kutaisi: Canyons and Caves Tour with Transfer to Tbilisi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Kutaisi: Canyons and Caves Tour with Transfer to Tbilisi?
+
Around 11 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Kutaisi: Canyons and Caves Tour with Transfer to Tbilisi 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.
