Kutaisi’s most iconic sites are its ancient monasteries. This private half-day tour takes you to both Gelati Monastery , a UNESCO World Heritage site nestled in the hills , and Bagrati Cathedral, a commanding presence over the city. Your local driver will share background stories along the way and wait while you explore each site at your own pace.
Book nowGelati Monastery, founded in the 12th century by King David the Builder, is a masterpiece of medieval Georgian architecture and thought. Frescoes, scholarly inscriptions, and mountain views await. Bagrati Cathedral, though partially reconstructed, holds immense symbolic value and offers one of the best city views. Both sites are central to Georgia’s religious and cultural story.

The car is clean and well-suited for short hill drives and narrow roads near the sites. If you'd like a licensed guide for in-depth historical detail, this can be arranged in advance.
