Mixed Arrival Combination Tours
To accommodate travelers arriving on different days (e.g., Friday and Saturday), we combine them into one mountain tour group. Guests arriving earlier enjoy a Kutaisi city tour before heading to the mountains, while those arriving later join the mountain tour first and take the Kutaisi tour before departure. This allows everyone to experience the full program regardless of their flight schedule.
