- · Uplistsikhe involves uneven rock paths and some climbing, bring sturdy shoes

- · Sedan fits up to 3 travellers with luggage, minivan up to 7, confirm at booking

Questions

**Can we add Uplistsikhe and Gori on the same trip?**
Yes, but each added stop extends the day, so most travellers choose one stop between [Tbilisi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/tbilisi/) and [Kutaisi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/kutaisi/) and one between Kutaisi and [Batumi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/batumi/).

**Does the price include entrance tickets?**
No, entrance fees for Uplistsikhe, Prometheus Cave or Bagrati Cathedral are paid on site, checked at booking as prices change.

**Is this a shared transfer?**
No, the car is private for your group only, priced per car, not per seat.

**Can we stop overnight in Kutaisi instead of continuing to Batumi?**
Yes, tell us in advance and we will quote the route as a multi-day car-with-driver booking instead of a single transfer.

Prices are per vehicle in euros, including fuel, parking and the driver; passengers up to the seats stated. Every transfer is private. Hotels, wineries and restaurants on our routes are [verified by GTour](/verified/).
