      The tour was informative and the sanatoriums visited were interesting. We were well looked after by our guide Akaki.

      Very interesting tour!

      I cannot recommend this tour more, if you want to learn about the abandoned sanatoriums and their histories. For me it is important to know the context of what I am looking at. This tour did not disappoint! Akaki is a great tour guide! He picked me up from my hotel very punctually. He is warm and friendly and very easy to talk to. His knowledge is extensive! You will learn a lot. He takes you to several sanatoriums that are all very different in look and former purpose. Without a guide, I wouldn’t have found this all myself. He is also very mindful or guest safety in the buildings and bonus - he knows exactly which angles you can get the best photos from! This tour is a must if you stay in Kutaisi!

      A complete disaster

      Poor communication. Changed time without notice. Changed tour from private to group. Complained about tour price. I had booked the tour for today at 1 p.m. I emailed the tour compay last evening to find out where the meeting location would be. I didn’t hear anything. At about 1:15 p.m. today, I emailed again. Finally, at 12:40, he responded and told me where to meet. I rushed to get there and was there about 12:50. At 1:08, he sent me a message letting me know there would be four more people on the tour. I responded that I was at the meeting place waiting. He then responded that the tour was at 2, not 1, and that he had forgotten to let me know because he’d been at work overnight and had just gotten out of bed. He also said that it was not a private tour, and that he couldn’t charge just 31 euros for one person. I told him that that’s the price that’s on the Viator site, and there was no minimum listed. I’d specifically booked it as a private tour, because I’m a travel writer and often need to ask questions that other tour clients might no be interested. It also often offers opportunities for customization. So he messed up the time, complained about the tour cost, and booked four more people on a private tour that was supposed to be just for me. No way I was going to spend 3.5 hours with him.

      Great tour

      You should not miss this tour

      One of a kind experience with great guidance and information provided by Akaki who knew all the Soviet history and much more. I would not hesitate to all travellers to go this tour. You will get a real slice of this recent history plus some amazing photo shots

      The best tour in Kutaisi

      Maksim_I, May 2024
      One of the best tours we’ve ever been to. Akaki is a fantastic local guide with a great knowledge of Soviet Era and history overall. Also, you can feel the individual approach to the tour: Akaki helps with the best photo spots. This tour would be interesting not only for people from post Soviet countries, but also for Europeans who loves The Last of Us and The Walking Dead. Kudos for Akaki!

      As promised, this tour takes you around the now defunct sanatorium&spa complexes of the Soviet era. The host is engaging and well prepared.
