I was on an excursion in this cave. I must say right away, the cave itself is 5 stars. Very beautiful lighting and musical accompaniment at the end of the tour.
But the tour and the speed with which you "fly through" the cave is disappointing. The guide speaks 3 languages Georgian, English and finally broken Russian. The information in our language is something like this: "There is a rock in front of you, and a hole in it", at least and primitive. The price is high, so you expect a good tour and a quiet sightseeing, but in reality it's the opposite.
There is something to compare it with. I have been to the New Athos Cave several times.
PS you can make an audio guide to somehow improve the tour
For me, who visited such a large cave for the first time, it was wow! This is the setting, the atmosphere, the volume of the cave and the incredible beauty of stalactites and stalagmites, which eventually take on bizarre shapes. I did not like the guide, who speaks Russian and English poorly and could not be heard at all because of the large number of people. But it didn't spoil the impression, you just have to go and admire 😍
This is really a Cave! It will capture and surprise you with its scale. The first steps are "well, nothing special," and then you get excited. The lighting was very nicely organized and the light show at the end is a pleasant point. Org points - there are 2 types of tickets with a boat tour along the underground river and without a boat, where you walk back 300m outside the cave. Seasoned tourists recommended not to take a ticket with a boat because you will drive half the way in the dark and miss a lot. I don't know if this is true, but I really liked it without a boat. Besides, the ticket is much cheaper. It's cool and very humid inside - keep in mind, take a jacket. There are many ascents and descents of stairs. The pace seemed to me quite high, I would like to look around more stops. You will spend 40 minutes on your feet. Photos do not convey beauty and scale at all.
