Very special day - Visiting the town of Chiatura with a really friendly guide actually from the town gave the town even more character and has made a lasting impression! Great to travel in the cable cars and wander through Chiatura’s history. The rock cave churches were an absolute spectacle - very very cool - and the monk’s pillar was also so unique - only issue was I wanted to climb up (which is not allowed for very obvious reasons 😅)

A fun filled day in Chiatura - I highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide Demo was very good, had a vast knowledge of history and culture, answered all our questions and showed us cool places around the city. He is originally from Chiatura, so its more like a good friend showing us their home town. He didnt rush through the journey, gave us enough time to see the places and take photos. Thanks to Demo, we had a nice day exploring Chiatura.

Hidden gems of Georgia - The scenery is absolutely stunning and Demo was incredibly knowledgeable of the area and the history of the city. The cable car rides were fun, but my favorite spots were the monasteries 🌺

Amazing experience - I had a lot of fun during this tour. Our guide Demo was a Real professional and showed us amazing locations in his home town of Chiatura, including several view points, abandoned buldings and train platform and even a small museum about the historischen of a town. He took us on two cable car rides (old and new one) and even to a local Restaurant for a lunch, where the food was super tasty. Definitely recommend.

Amazing day with Demo - Highly recommend this guide. We had a fantastic experience - the tour was both informative and engaging. The guide (Demo) was enthusiastic, knowledgable, and clearly passionate about his work. He shared many fascinating stories and showed us details we would have easily missed on our own. It was more thab just a tour - it was a deep dive into the history and culture of the place. Definitely worth joining if you have the chance!
