You will explore the royal 11th-century Bagrati cathedral on Ukmerioni Hill in Kutaisi, learn about its history & enjoy panoramic views of the city; visit the Unesco-protected Gelati monastery complex, with its medieval Academy building & enjoy wall paintings & mosaics from the 12th century. Gelati was an important scientific centre since the Middle Ages, and it is important today, as most of the Georgian royalty is buried there.
(Please note that Gelati Monastery Complex is under construction and is open for visitors exclusively on Sundays + some occasional days. On the days when Gelati is not open, we will visit to another church in Kutaisi.)

You will continue to the Motsameta monastery, another important spot for Georgian religion. Enjoy beautiful views of the Tskaltsitela River from the Monastery garden and listen to the miraculous history of two saint brothers from the 8th century. After tour, you will come back to Kutaisi.
