Yes, the tour can start or end at Kutaisi airport, which fits naturally since Kutaisi is the base for two of the three nights. Day 3 can also be extended to finish in Batumi instead of returning to Tbilisi, and a Batumi pickup can be arranged on request when booking.
Waterproof shoes are recommended for the Martvili and Okatse canyon walks since there's water and wet surfaces involved. The route covers caves, canyons and outdoor sanatorium ruins at Tskaltubo, so dress for a mix of damp, cool underground spaces and outdoor walking depending on the season you travel.
Pickup is from your hotel in Tbilisi. Day 1 heads to Kutaisi via Uplistsikhe cave city, Day 2 covers Gelati and Motsameta monasteries, Prometheus cave and Tskaltubo's abandoned sanatoriums, and Day 3 visits Martvili canyon by boat, the Okatse canyon walkway, and Sataplia before returning to Tbilisi (or continuing to Batumi).
