Join us and discover the soul of Tbilisi! Explore legends, landmarks, and local flavors on a vibrant walking tour through the city’s historic streets. Uncover stories that bring Georgia’s capital to life!

Gamarjoba, welcome to my fascinating country, Sakartvelo, where the guest is a gift from God. So let me be your host in my wonderful city, Tbilisi. During the tour, we will explore well-known and hidden sites of this charming city.

I'll take you to the Metekhi Church, where you will learn about the legends surrounding Tbilisi and Christianity as a core characteristic of the country's identity. After that, through Rike Park, we will be heading to the Bridge of Peace. The path leads us to the Gabriadze Clock Tower, one of the eye-catching spots in Tbilisi. We shouldn't also skip the Anchiskhati Church, the oldest one in the city.

Don’t think I forgot to mention that Georgia is the cradle of wine, which I am gonna explain at the Tamada (toastmaster) statue, which will be the finish line of our memorable day.

I hope we will meet.

P.S. Cable car ride to the Mother of Georgia (2.5 GEL per person at the entrance).

P.P.S If the cable car is not operating on the day of the tour, don’t worry — we’ll explore two extra places instead, including one special secret destination.
