My family and I visited Prometheus Cave and were generally satisfied. The cave is beautiful and impressive in its size and internal structure. The only drawback is that the excursions gather too large groups, and because of this, the walk lasts a long time and can be boring. But the place itself is worth a visit, especially if you have not been to such caves before. Everything is safe and comfortable inside, and both children and adults liked it.
From Batumi, head towards Tskaltubo. Leave early. So, a very meaningful journey awaits you. You will see a lot of interesting things along the way!
But, the most important thing is ahead of you. Arriving in Tskaltubo, turn towards the cave. You buy tickets, wait 15 minutes, and the guide invites you...You are starting the most fabulous journey of your life. How fairy tales are told, not to describe with a pen, not to say a word! If you will ever visit the beauty of Georgia, do everything you can to definitely visit this luxurious, amazing and fabulous cave!
I was on an excursion in this cave. I must say right away, the cave itself is 5 stars. Very beautiful lighting and musical accompaniment at the end of the tour.
But the tour and the speed with which you "fly through" the cave is disappointing. The guide speaks 3 languages Georgian, English and finally broken Russian. The information in our language is something like this: "There is a rock in front of you, and a hole in it", at least and primitive. The price is high, so you expect a good tour and a quiet sightseeing, but in reality it's the opposite.
There is something to compare it with. I have been to the New Athos Cave several times.
PS you can make an audio guide to somehow improve the tour
A very beautiful and interesting cave! The work done is huge, the lighting is everywhere, you feel like in a fairy tale, and the music also matches! There was a group of 30 people, we came with a family of 4 people. The guide speaks Georgian, English and Russian! I recommend it!
The cave impresses with its size, the extraordinary beauty of the halls, skillfully emphasized by lighting, and a long and conveniently paved pedestrian path. Surprisingly, it is warm inside, always +14 - whereas usually in caves it is slightly above zero. A walk through the cave as part of an organized group with a guide according to the schedule, I had to wait a little for the beginning. The group was small, about 15 people, the guide tells very briefly in English and Russian (possibly in Georgian, depending on the group). At the end of the route, there is a beautiful light and music show in the Prometheus Hall. Unfortunately, it was not possible to take a boat ride on the underground river - something was being repaired on the day of the visit, and the service was not available.
An interesting cave with a well-equipped pedestrian and water part. When buying a ticket, keep in mind that if you take a ticket without a boat ride, you will not get into the water part of the cave during this visit. If you pay for the boat fare, you may not see the entire pedestrian area. The cave has convenient parking. Do not hesitate, the price was 1 GEL. It's not much. I recommend
If you haven't been to the caves at all, it might be worth it. If you have been to caves in the Crimea, definitely not, you will be disappointed. The cave itself is much more modest and sooo commercialized. Of the claimed 1,600 meters of cave beauty, 10% of the actual beauty, the rest is a quick walk through completely empty tunnels. The "guide", rather an escort, quickly speaks into the microphone in Georgian, bad English and very bad Russian completely banal things - height, length, opening time. If you consider that there are about a hundred people in the group, it's not realistic to hear anything, even if you want to. The advertised light show is a hack. The lanterns have moved and shine not on the beautiful "icicles", but next to them. The music is played in the first and last hall, very loudly, not in any way cave-private). In short, this whole show is designed for the stream, there is no taker for the soul...
Nicely. Unusual, worth a visit. And if you leave the car in the parking lot 10-20 meters before the main one, then you can buy a chic homemade cold wine from an uncle who charges for parking😉
An interesting place, unusual. If you come to Georgia, then you must visit.
It won't impress you to the core, but it's interesting. The boats do not cost 20 lari. But it's worth a ride. Put an end to it, so to speak...
Entrance is 25 lari, drive "2 minutes" by boat inside the cave of 25 lari (I do not recommend the latter). The prices are absolutely not comparable to the feed. It's fun to look at the cave from the inside, but no more. Monetization on nothing is very striking. Tourists are launched in groups once every half hour. One guide, who monotonously broadcasts, though in 3 languages (Georgian, English, Russian), a group of about 80 people, did not count, but a lot. Everyone is walking in single file after each other. The concrete on the tracks was wet and slippery, and it was very easy to get injured. It's good that there are handrails. You can't go outside the track, you can only watch. There is lighting in different colors inside, music is not appropriate. Well, somewhere in the distance, the guide is mumbling, not paying attention to the fact that he can be heard by the first 10 people. There is no time to sleep when you have passed the cave in one direction - get out
Expensive. It's crowded. But all the same, the scale of the cave is worth going and evaluating, it really is a super cave. Of the advantages: it is suitable even for pensioners and children, there are no hellish ascents, only descents and a couple of small stairs up the route. The path is in one direction, a shuttle bus picks up at the exit - convenient. If you have extra money, I recommend taking a boat trip through the cave. It's short, just a few minutes, but very atmospheric.
The amazing beauty of the cave!!!)))
It's a pity that the guide leads the group very quickly, because I want to photograph every stalactite and stalagmite! We were especially impressed by the halls where music is playing!!!
Very beautiful. But the service is terrible and there is no excursion.
Responsible people for conducting the tour did it never occur to you that your guide could not be heard with the equipment that you give him. If the music buttons are turned on in each hall and coursework. Why not click in each hall in the same way as conducting an excursion so that everyone can hear. To run after the guides and try to hear what he will say, but it is very inconvenient.
If you are going on an excursion, I do not advise you to go with a large group, you can not hear anything. It is better to overpay and go with a group of 10 people. Rafting from the cave along the river is impressive, but do not count on a long walk, five minutes and you swim out of the cave. Rafting is not included in the standard ticket price, you must pay extra separately. The tours are repeated every 40 minutes.
A huge beautiful cave, there is a backlight with music - very impressive! The tour lasts for 40-50 minutes. The temperature is constant + 16, it's nice to come to your senses in the heat.
If you have not visited such places before, then you must visit them. Everyone liked it. It's cool in the cave, so it's better to take warmer things in summer
It's very unusual and cool. The tour is in three languages. The ticket costs sane money. There is already a queue in the morning. The impressions are only positive.
The place is beautiful and memorable, we tried to keep up with the guide, but while we were taking pictures, we missed the story or she tells it very briefly. It would be better if they gave headphones and everyone listened to them as they moved from hall to hall.
Paid parking, which you don't know about in advance. Long waits and forced excursions.
The grandfather in the parking lot directly demanded to pay him 3 laras.
I didn't go on the tour because of the long wait in line for the tour: at first, she said the wait was 30 minutes, then it increased to 45 minutes.
There's a lot to do in that area besides waiting in line to look at the caves.
An absolutely terrible place with nasty staff. Zero understanding and friendliness. Everything is very rude, questions are not answered. As rough as possible. The child drowned the tickets in the toilet, they were asked to replace them, as they had a code on them, which stopped being read. They said there was no other option but to buy new tickets. Free 100 GEL for the staff. Caves are normal.
The caves are beautiful. The tour is disgusting, the group is huge, about 60 people, 4 Indians and the remaining Russian speakers. The guide spoke in three languages (Russian is bad at the end and minimal). Everyone was following each other, in the end nothing was heard.
The cave itself is beautiful and mysterious, like everything in our nature. But the guide, a young girl, was silent like a fish on ice. She answered only leading questions, and that was not informative. I've been on many excursions and I've encountered this for the first time.
One of the best caves I've ever been to. It is very beautiful, which surprised me with the length of 1.5 km, I have never been in such long ones before, basically everyone just went deep. There is also boating, but since they were on New Year's holidays (more precisely, winter time affects), the service was not provided, only in the warmer months. In general, I recommend you to visit.
A very beautiful cave with different views and excursions in 3 languages, everyone is gathered at a certain time and place from where all the beauty begins
You can only pass through a group of people by yourself, you can not. You have to wait and listen to the guide's story in three languages: Georgian, English and Russian. I was not very impressed. I have been to more interesting places.
It's a good cave, it's the best in the heat of 30 °. The excurium is conducted in three languages, first in Georgian, then in English, and finally in Russian. They don't know Russian well, they can't make it out. It is easier to understand English. Nicely. Walk for an hour and a half. They're taking the bus back.
Пещера очень огромная, обязательно к посещению. Ьольшие залы, некоторые даже музыкальеые. Из пещеры можно выйти пешком, а можно выплыть по подземной реке на лодке. На лодке конечно очень впечатляюще. Из минусов- огромная группа. Набирают 70 человек. Естественно, гида мало кто слушал и слышал.
The cave is cool. It's impressive. I can't hear the guide: he mumbles something into the loudspeaker in 3 languages.... The guide was almost running through the cave. I touched eternity, but there is no service...
The cave is great! It's a pity that you can only visit it with a lot of other visitors. The stone halls and passages are not very large, so there is a crowd. A large group of multilingual people gathers, the girl guide tells first in Georgian, then in English, then gives several explanations in Russian. But the sound in the cave is distorted, so little is clear.
Beautiful cave, decorated perfectly. The only negative is that they start huge "excursions" with a bunch of people, they don't stop much and it's noisy. In such a place I would like privacy. And it's really beautiful, a big cave
An interesting place, worth visiting once. We (the whole family) liked it. The disadvantage is that the river dried up and we couldn't swim in the dungeon
Пещера красивая и интересная. Лучше идите в самом конце. Всеравно не услышите экскурсовода. А сзади у вас будет возможность спокойно сфотографироваться, не мешая идущим за вами. Потому что на протяжении всего пути только несколько мест где можно встать группой. Все идут гуськом и если вам вдруг понравилось место для фотографирования, то вы мешаете всем идущим за вами))
It's just a fascinating sight. The caves are more than a kilometer long. A huge space occupied by stalactites and stalagmites. The corresponding illumination gives the cave an even more interesting look👍
Do you like history? Then you go to the Prometheus Cave. The place should be visited by everyone who travels in Georgia. You will leave a lot of impressions. Lots of photos. But most importantly, you will have a rest from everyday life and everyday fuss.
Personally, I was in puppy delight both from the caves themselves and from boating on the underground river. If you arrive in Kutaisi, be sure to visit this place!
Everything is very unclear, the tour is just about nothing... It seems that "the student repeats the material for memorization." There is simply no interest in tourists.
The cave impressed. First, the scale. High ceilings, large halls. Secondly, the movement is well built. You can still work with the backlight, this is an offer for the organizers, the game of shadows is strong.
Visit the cave together with a trip to the Martvilly Canyon. It's just not worth going because of the cave! It's cool in the cave, you need a light jacket. I recommend taking a boat tour (at the end of the cave you will swim along an underground river), but we waited a very long time for the queue to get into the boat, and there was some kind of shift change, bad luck. Go to the toilet in front of the cave!
Очень интересное место. Хоть изначально были сомнения по поводу него, но к концу экскурсии даже чуть пожалели, что не взяли билет на лодку. По стоимости уже не помню сколько вышло тогда, но не дёшево. Гид на протяжении всего пути рассказывает на 3х языках различные факты (русский входит сюда). Очень интересно и захватывающе. Всего пещер 12, но на 09.23г открыто 7. В больших пещерах играет прекрасная музыка. Советую к посещению. Если Вы на машине - готовьтесь заплатить за парковку - 3 лари
