“I think this trip would have worked better as a trip to just Gori and Uplistsikhe, and to spend more time in Gori, for example to include a visit to the fortress. It was a long additonal drive just to spend an hour in Borjomi where to be honest there is not much more there than a park. The trip to the Stalin museum and the Uplistsikhe cave was interesting and the resteraunt the company took us to was good. Our guide was also very knowledgable and interestintg and explained everything in English and Russian.”

However we had an incident at the prometheus cave where the boat driver drove off before i could even dip my head or put on the helmet properly which ended up in a nasty head bump. They didnt have anyone to assist or didnt even has a first aid kit. How could a cave tourist attraction not have first aid or someone to deal with any injury. The cave is beautiful but horribly management. The other location was a breath of fresh air and again johnny was very helpful. He assisted very kindly with our incident.”
