Tours from Batumi Around Georgia with a Guide
We are a team of Belarusians and Georgians: around 5000 tourists travel with us every season, and we know Adjara the way locals do. Our specialty is tours with a real guide - far from every agency provides one at all, and with many the guide is also the one driving the van. With us, on groups of 10 and more, the guide and the driver are two different people: one watches the road, the other takes care of you. Our guides are certified Georgians, and our lead guide Akaki Beridze is the president of the Adjara Tourism Industry Federation. Group tours are conducted in Russian - the guide will gladly help English-speaking guests with the essentials via a translation app - while in the private format English-speaking guides are available at no extra charge.
Group and private formats
Group tours are the budget-friendly way to see Georgia: the Batumi city tour costs 40 GEL, out-of-town trips start from 65 GEL per person. A group takes up to 19 tourists, and the Gomismta trip up to 14 for the safety of the mountain road. Pick-up is simple: we collect you from the nearest bus stop along the route, and when a tour passes through Kobuleti, Chakvi or Ureki, we pick up there too. Dates and available seats are in the group tour schedule.
Private tours are for those who want their own pace and route, with English-speaking guides at the same price: out-of-town trips from 350 GEL for two and from 400 GEL for a company of 3-4. Up to 9 people travel in a minivan with a guide-driver; for bigger groups, on request, a guide plus a driver with a Sprinter. The vehicles are comfortable and well kept, and every route is built with rest stops.
Prices and discounts for children
Children under 12 get discounts on most programs. For reference, adult and child tickets: the Batumi city tour 40 and 20 GEL, Makhuntseti 65 and 50, all of Mountain Adjara in a day 120 and 90, Prometheus Cave 100 and 70. On routes where a guide is objectively not needed - Gomismta or Vardzia, for example - the guide is not included in the price, so you do not pay extra, though we will add one on individual request. For lunches and feasts we choose only proven places: our tourists do not overpay and do not leave the table hungry. We accept cash in GEL; a convenient cashless option is suggested at booking.
Booking, prepayment and refunds
You can book through the forms on the site or in messengers - WhatsApp or Telegram; we reply in English and Russian. We prefer texting: every detail of your trip is fixed in writing, and we will not call you to push anything - though we will happily jump on a call at your request when something is easier to discuss by voice. Some tours require a prepayment - it is stated in the tour description and confirmed at booking; for companies of 5 and more, a prepayment of 20 GEL per person confirms your seats and protects the other participants from last-minute cancellations.
The prepayment is refundable if you cancel at least 48 hours before the tour, and always when the cancellation is on our side; depending on the situation we can also move your booking to another date. Tours go ahead in the rain - only a storm cancels a departure. If a group does not fill up (the minimum depends on the route - 4 people for some tours, 10 for others), we warn you a day in advance and offer a refund or a new date. No documents are required for tours inside Georgia, though carrying your passport in a foreign country is always sensible. Most routes suit any age, and we warn you in advance about the rare demanding sections - like the staircase down to the banana grove.
