    Unique and wonderful trip. Highly recommend doing this trip. Its packed with social history and interesting sights. You can spend hours exploring abandoned buildings and seeing old cable cars that give you a great glimse into another time. Our guide Alexis was knowledgable and really made such a huge effort to give us the best trip possible and was a lovely person to spend time with. The company was great to work with also. Everything was well organised.

    Incredible Tour

    Did the Tskaltubo and Chiatura: 2-days urbex tour and it was amazing from start to finish. The sanatoriums in Tskaltubo were absolutely stunning, eerie, beautiful, and unforgettable. Chiatura was just as impressive, especially seeing the old cable cars and the dramatic landscape. Aleksi was a brilliant guide and went above and beyond to make the trip perfect. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything easy and enjoyable. Nothing felt rushed and he made sure I saw all the best spots. Highly recommended for anyone into urbex, history, or unique travel experiences. 10/10.

    Response from the operator: Dear Daniel, Thank you so much for such an incredible review! We are absolutely delighted to hear that your 2-day adventure was perfect from start to finish. It sounds like you truly captured the spirit of this tour—finding that unique mix of "eerie and beautiful" in the abandoned sanatoriums of Tskaltubo is exactly what makes this trip so special. We are also so glad you enjoyed the dramatic landscapes and industrial history of Chiatura and its famous cable cars. Aleksi will be thrilled to hear your kind words. He is truly passionate about Urbex and sharing the deep Soviet history of Georgia, so knowing that he could make the trip smooth, unrushed, and unforgettable for you means the world to our team. Thank you for recommending this experience to other travelers who love unique travel experiences. We hope to welcome you back to Georgia for more adventures in the future!

    From Tbilisi: Tskaltubo & Chiatura: 2-days urbex tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.

    How much does From Tbilisi: Tskaltubo & Chiatura: 2-days urbex tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $267 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tbilisi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does From Tbilisi: Tskaltubo & Chiatura: 2-days urbex tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Tbilisi is not rushed.

    Is From Tbilisi: Tskaltubo & Chiatura: 2-days urbex tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tbilisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From Tbilisi: Tskaltubo & Chiatura: 2-days urbex tour?

    +

    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 Tbilisi: Tskaltubo & Chiatura: 2-days urbex tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book From Tbilisi: Tskaltubo & Chiatura: 2-days urbex tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 Tbilisi 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 Tbilisi and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Tbilisi: Tskaltubo & Chiatura: 2-days urbex tour 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 Tbilisi 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 Tbilisi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tbilisi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tbilisi:Evening Walking & Talking Tour with Wine & Boat Ride, Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,wine tasting,Chronicles of Georgia, Kakheti Wine Region Tour + 10 Premium Wine Tastings & Sunset. 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 Tbilisi?

    +

    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 Tbilisi?

    +

    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.
