Georgia · BATUMI & THE ADJARA COAST
25 reviewed
Batumi is the Black Sea one: a palm-lined boulevard, Soviet spa architecture next to glass towers, and behind it the wet green mountains of Adjara with waterfalls, arched stone bridges and villages that cook khachapuri with an egg on top. These 15 split roughly between the city and the hills, and both are here with prices.
8-hour day trip from Batumi to Makhuntseti and Mirveti waterfalls, free entry, plus Zeda Chkhutuneti lunch and folklore.
“I was the only person who had signed up for the 'Best Batumi' tour so the operator offered me a walking tour and Mtrilala National Park visit instead - both were great! Saba was a great guide.”
Private cooking class in Tbilisi: make Adjaruli khachapuri and khinkali, eat your lunch with homemade wine, and take recipes home.
“A really great time in a warm setting. It was in a home and the teacher was the right amount of teaching and correcting so you really learn how to make it for the future, not just this one experience. She and her son did a good job making sure everyone felt included and got along, even if we knew different primary languages. This was a really great afternoon and I recommend it for anyone who enjoys food and wants a different tourist experience.”
Private Batumi tour to Martvili Canyon, Okatse Canyon, and Prometheus Cave. Hotel pickup, big views, and weather-dependent timing.
“The driver johnny that drove us was beyond amazing, very kind. However we had an incident at the prometheus cave where the boat driver drove off before i could even dip my head or put on the helmet properly which ended up in a nasty head bump. They didnt have anyone to assist or didnt even has a first aid kit. How could a cave tourist attraction not have first aid or someone to deal with any injury. The cave is beautiful but horribly management. The other location was a breath of fresh air and again johnny was very helpful. He assisted very kindly with our incident.”

“The tour was 90% on a bus. Folks based in Kutaisi may have had a better time of it. The guide was literally just speaking rehearsed lines in Prometheus cave, lovely as he was. It took us 2.5 hours to get to Kutaisi from Batumi, pick up was perfect, car was clean and driver waRead more”

Round-trip from Kutaisi for Batumi Boulevard sights and a Mtirala National Park waterfall hike, with English guiding and optional add-ons.
“The experience was superb. Our guide Seba was amazing and so friendly. We had a long chat from about history and many things on different topics, on our way and back from kutaisi to batumi. The only reason am giving 4 star is eek had to cancel the hike as the weather was bad and switch to to another tour pack which includes the waterfalls with Georgian food and dance. Our previous package included the city tour of batumi which we thought is still included but was not there.. We could not see batumi city but just had a chance to cross through it. The instructions from the agency was…”

“I booked a private tour to Mtirala National Park. Picked up from the hotel exactly on time by the guide Beka and driver Mamuka. Took us about 40 minutes to get to Mtirala National Park, where we visited the lake and the waterfall via the Chestnut trail. Easy hiking and beautiful scenary. The Beka, was kind, showed alot of knowledge and provided interesting data about the national park and local culture. Very fluent in the English language. There was possibility to do Zipline between the trees, but I decided to skip. Back in Batumi after about five hours. Recommended.”
