Batumi Central to Tbilisi Destination Reviews

Hana A

The transport is very affordable and it gets you where you need to go. The pickup point was easy to find due to the video sent by Whatsapp. However, we were very confused about which van was the correct one for us. At first they wanted to drive us and our luggage separately, and of course we didn’t want that. Besides, they do not speak english at all.

The only the conductor never checked the toilets no toilet paper in a 5hour trip you would think he would check the bathroom as the train was a good experience

Our flight was cancelled and GR doesn’t have any policy to refund even in case of genuine reasons. All our money go waste. Very disappointing

Train was fine , but no wifi, no charging points , no paper in toilet, no chance to nuy any drinks.that was in economy. Comfortable seats, 1 hour less than bus . Checking into the train takes long time, one lady with a paper list of passengers.
