Our take on the Private Tour to Soviet Chiatura and Katskhi Column

A full-day private tour from Tbilisi to Chiatura, the Soviet-era manganese town known for its hilltop cable cars, plus the cliff-top Katskhi Column and the cliff-carved Mgvimevi Convent. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and the day runs about 12 hours, from 09:00 to 21:00. It suits travelers drawn to Soviet architecture, urbex and photography more than to conventional sightseeing. Compared with group tours to the region, the private format lets you set the pace, but the long drive and fixed schedule mean it is a demanding day.

About the Private Tour to Soviet Chiatura and Katskhi Column

This is a private 12-hour day tour from Tbilisi to Chiatura, a Soviet-era mining town in Georgia. Chiatura is known for its extensive network of Soviet-style cable cars and is a destination for urban explorers and photographers. The town's story starts with manganese, a mineral used to make iron and steel, and Soviet-style apartment blocks dominate it.

The tour arrives in Chiatura at 12:10. Stops include Mgvimevi Convent, a working nunnery and church built into the side of a rocky cliff. The visit there takes around 15 minutes. The tour also stops at Katskhi Column for photos, and a cable car ride leads to the Former Pioneer Palace.
