Great tour to monasteries - We started the tour with a trip to Gelati, the complex was closed because of restauration work in progress, but our guide Teona from Medgobari Tours showed us two churches and an old hospital, from where we has a great view. Then we visited Motsameti and Bagrati; the first with wonderful views over the greenery and river, the second with a perfect view over Kutaisi. Thank you, Teona!

Very nice way to easily see and learn about the 3 Monasteries - Teona was delightful on this 3-hour excursion to see 3 Monasteries in the area. It’s a great way learn even more about the history of Georgia as a whole along with the Monasteries. note: Gelati Monastery was completely covered in exterior scaffolding and non-accessible which was a disappointment, but Teona came up with another idea and we walked up the hill nearby and saw an absolutely adorable little church with ancient interior paintings. Recommend.

BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER! - We are 4 adults and we travelled for a vacation in Georgia during the last week of June. We decided to book tours with Megobari and it was the best decision we ever made. Mikheili was our guide who received us at Kutaisi airport. We spent 2 nights in Kutaisi and 3 nights in Batumi. By the end of the trip, he wasnt our guide anymore, he became our friend. He was very friendly and helpful and we loved spending time with him. We would like to thank Eva as well from Megobari who arranged everything for us. The level of professionalism and friendliness this office has is beyond amazing! We definetly recommend using this tour agent for any trip you have in Georgia. We want to thank Mikheili and Eva for making our trip so memorable 💖

Convenient, breathtaking and fun half-day tour - Vaso, our guide, was super kind, fun, and knowledgeable. Even though the weather was terrible he made sure that we could take our time to walk around the monasteries and stop whenever we wanted to. He catered to our needs (my mum is getting older and her pace wasn't exactly the fastest) and did his best to make the most of the day. Moreover, he went the extra mile to get to know us and took an interest in our trip to Georgia. Overall a very enjoyable experience and a convenient tour, since it would have been impossible for us to reach the monasteries on our own and we would have missed out a lot of details had it not been for Vaso's commentary. We will return, for sure! Madloba :)
