What makes this tour different
The Batumi city tour shows you the seafront, botanical garden and illuminated tower. Gomis Mta shows you something else entirely: mountains above Batumi, wild untouched nature, and not a single other tourist in sight. These are two completely different worlds — and just 40 minutes separate them.
Timur walks the trail to the waterfall himself and knows a spot where clouds pass below you. On a clear day you can see the Caucasus range on one side and the Black Sea on the other — simultaneously, from a single viewpoint.
Tour itinerary
09:00
Departure from Batumi
Pick-up from your hotel. Timur can also collect you from Kobuleti or Chakvi — just arrange in advance.
10:30
Gomis Mta — the summit at 2755 m
The 4WD ascent through alpine meadows. At the top: panoramic view of the Black Sea and Turkish mountains simultaneously. The clouds drift below the ridge.
13:00
Machakhela Gorge
A wild valley untouched by mass tourism. Medieval stone bridges, ancient watermills, crystal-clear waterfalls, and remote villages of just a handful of families.
16:00
Waterfall trail with Timur
A short hike to the main waterfall. Comfortable shoes recommended. No technical climbing — just a scenic forest trail.
18:00
Return to Batumi
Drop-off at your hotel or any central location in the city.
Timur's tip
Come in the morning — the mountain is clearest before noon and before the afternoon clouds roll in. If you want to see both Gomis Mta and Batumi in one day, that is possible too: the summit in the morning and the city in the evening. Two different worlds in a single day.

How is Gomis Mta different from the Batumi city tour?

Why choose this tour
In three years working as a guide in Georgia, Timur has led more than 500 tours. He knows what travellers value: punctuality, genuine local knowledge rather than rehearsed phrases, and the flexibility to adapt the route on the go. Every tour is private — no buses with 40 strangers, maximum 7 guests. That means you can ask every question, stop wherever you like, and spend as much time at each spot as you want.
A 4.9 out of 5 rating on Google Maps (112 reviews) is not a coincidence. Timur replies on WhatsApp within 10–15 minutes, sends a detailed plan before the trip, and stays in touch throughout. Many guests come back for a second and third tour — which is the best compliment of all.
