The 10 Best Day Trips from in Kutaisi, Imereti Region

July 26, 2021 Layne Dawes

Kutaisi (Georgian: ქუთაისი [kʰutʰɑisi]; ancient names: Aea/Aia, Kotais, Kutatisi, Kutaïsi) is the legislative capital of Georgia, and its 3rd most populous city. Situated 221 kilometres (137 miles) west of Tbilisi, on the Rioni River, it is the capital of the western region of Imereti. Historically one of the major cities of Georgia, it served as the capital of the Kingdom of Georgia in the Middle Ages, and later as the capital of the Kingdom of Imereti. The Parliament of Georgia moved to Kutaisi in 2012, in an effort to both acknowledge the status of the city, and to decentralise the Georgian government.

Our excursion(s) with Giorgi made a significant difference in our Georgia experience. He is a very positive, well-informed, and friendly man. Perhaps one of the best guides I've ever met - and I work in tourism myself - . iAll an ill, he is a great guide and highly recommended. Needless to say that the destinations, both natural and cultural destinations are beautiful and well worth visiting. Thank you Girogi!

This is one trip nobody should miss if you are traveling to Georgia. It is even more special with Nugo and his brother George. They are not just guides but dear friends who would suggest places and take you around like their own family. They know their way in and out of Tbilisi and Gudauri with best recommendations for food , adventures , currency exchange , sim cards or anything for that matter. We didn't feel like we had to worry about a single thing as tourists. Moving to sightseeing, it's not only just explaining, but also helps you with taking amazing pictures. Overall 4 of us had a great trip !!!

The whole tour felt like improvising. I had no idea how all other people had so nice review. The tour guide somehow brought his girlfriend on the trip and basically ignored us and was smoking in the car the whole journey. At night we were in a local family and they had sex throughout the night; which would have been fine, but considered that the sound insulation was so bad and they did it so loud the WHOLE night. It was not fine. Absolutely not worth the price. I know about Georgian hospitality, we met really nice Georgians along the ways but Irakli was not one of them.

Ana was my guide throughout a nine-day custom country-wide tour of Georgia. She was very punctual and organised, which was quite important since the itinerary I had chosen was densely packed and required us to drive from place to place and site to site each day. The first leg of the tour covered Tbilisi, Mtskheta, Ananuri, Kazbegi, Gori, Uplistsikhe, Kutaisi, Borjomi, Akhaltsikhe and Vardzia. The second leg of the tour (after a day of rest in Tbilisi) comprised Telavi, Tsinandali, Alaverdi, Gremi, Kvareli, Bodbe, Sighnaghi and David Gareji. Each of those places represents an aspect of Georgia's varied and rich nature and culture, and Ana was extremely knowledgeable about all of them. She was also on top of all the practical details. Lastly, Ana was very pleasant company throughout the trip, and she taught me a lot about Georgia's culture (especially the music, which is quite something). I would recommend her tours without any hesitation.

We just returned from TBilisi, and Megi made sure everything went perfectly. We had my 18 yo daughter who was born in TBilisi, myself, and her 3 grandparents 74, 76, and 80! Teimiraz was the BEST guide and Melvud was an excellent driver. We didn’t have to worry about anything. From picking up and taking to the airport, to dinner recommendations and reservations, everything was managed so well! We loved our trip and can’t wait to return! I highly recommend this company!!
