What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors generally find the Khulo-Tago cable car a unique experience with impressive engineering and scenic views, especially on clear days. While some consider it a bit pricey compared to other Georgian cable cars, the amenities at the top and the thrill of the ride are often highlighted as positives. It's recommended to check operational status due to potential temporary closures.
"We went on a rainy day and it was still great! Beat the crowds and got some nice photos. Very easy to buy tickets. If there is a long line at the counter you can buy tickets online. All cable cars in Georgia have been really nice and worth checking out."
Sarah Goldrich
"The price vs value wasn't there for this cable car compared to others we rode in Georgia, at USD$12.30/pp particularly considering that the view wasn't clear.
If the air is really hazy, the view from the top isn't good. The ride is fast and smooth.
The bottom operator guy would not let us wait for a car to ride alone (and there was nobody else behind us.) It worked out for us in the end as a hat was left behind in the cable car and one of the other passengers gave it to the top operator guy. When the other people saw us they communicated that it was there. And the hat was very much needed that day!
There are clean bathrooms up top, as well as a souvenir shop and a cafe/restaurant and an ice cream stand. We didn't eat up top, so nothing to review on that. The tiny chapel was peaceful, and there was a great breeze just outside the chapel (on the right) by the edge of the trees.
Security scolded and stopped multiple tourists sitting on the edge of the circular fountain that looks like a sailboat.
There is a swing for photos that was tied (to not move much) that had a net to catch anyone who fell off so they didn't fall down the face of the hill.
It was below "ok" in my opinion, and overpriced for the view."
Just Me
"Definitely worth visiting! The views are amazing, and the price is very reasonable. Sunset is the peak time, so the lines can get a bit long, but they move quite quickly. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended."
