Questions

**How much walking is involved?**
Prometheus Cave's walkway is flat and about 1.1 kilometres, [Martvili](https://gtour.ge/georgia/martvili/) Canyon includes a short boat ride and a set of stairs down to the river, and Okatse Canyon walkway is about 1.1 kilometres along a suspended platform with some uneven footing. Moderate fitness is enough for all three.

**Can we book the boat rides in advance?**
Boat tickets are sold on site at both Prometheus Cave and [Martvili](https://gtour.ge/georgia/martvili/) Canyon and queues build up in high season. Our guide times the stops to reduce waiting, but availability is always checked at booking.

**Does this tour run in winter?**
Yes. Prometheus Cave is open year round at a stable temperature, though Okatse Canyon walkway and the [Martvili](https://gtour.ge/georgia/martvili/) boat ride occasionally close for maintenance or bad weather, checked at booking.

**What should we wear?**
Comfortable closed shoes for stairs and canyon paths, a light jacket for the cave, and a hat and sun protection for the [Martvili](https://gtour.ge/georgia/martvili/) boat ride in summer.

Prices are per person for two travelling together, in euros; solo travellers and larger groups are quoted on request. Every departure is private and adjusted to you. Hotels, wineries and restaurants on our routes are [verified by GTour](/verified/).
