WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Traveler's Meeting Point - is a free space where you can meet new exciting people, play some board games, listen to good music or enjoy a glass of wine.
2. Metekhi Cathedral
Virgin Mary Metekhi church is located on the left bank of the river Mtkvari, on the cliff plateau. The first church on this place was probably built by Vakhtang Gorgasali, symbolically resembling the church built on virgin Mary’s tomb in Gethsemane garden in Jerusalem. According to the legend, the former catholicos Kirion transferred the saint Shushanik to this church in the 7th century.
3. Monument of King Vakhtang Gorgasali
Vakhtang I Gorgasali, of the Chosroid dynasty, was a king of Iberia, natively known as Kartli, in the second half of the 5th and first quarter of the 6th century. Dating Vakhtang's reign is problematic. With the alliance to the Byzantine Empire, he led his people into a lengthy struggle against Sasanian Iranian hegemony, which ended in Vakhtang's defeat and the weakening of the kingdom of Iberia. Tradition also ascribes his reorganization of the Georgian Orthodox Church and the foundation of Tbilisi, Georgia's modern capital. Ivane Javakhishvili assigns to Vakhtang's rule the dates c. 449–502, while Cyril Toumanoff suggests 447–522.
4. Europe Square
We cross Europe Square and get the information about the relationship between Georgia and the European Union, which is vital for Georgians.
5. Rike Park
Rike park is considered to be the youngest recreational area in Tbilisi. It is situated on the left bank of the river Kura (Mtkvari) and has already become a popular place for both local and international visitors, especially families, and in summer. The Rike park is relatively easy to find, as its main entrance is right from the beautiful pedestrian ‘Bridge of Peace.’ The park hosts numerous entertainment facilities like singing and dancing fountains, artificial climbing walls, children’s maze, mega-chess boards, footpaths, and quiet corners. The start point of a newly opened cable car that takes visitors up to Narikala fortress is located in the Rike park and several fancy bars and restaurants.
6. The Bridge of Peace
Bridge of Peace is the attraction one wouldn’t want to miss in Tbilisi. A pedestrian glass and steel bridge in a bow-shaped design sit over the Mtkvari (Kura) river in the Georgian capital. It was officially opened in May 2010. The bridge was brought to Georgia from Italy in 200 unassembled components. The bridge is 156 meters long and has more than 10 000 LED bulbs built-in that are switched on daily 90 minutes before the sunset.
7. Rezo Gabriadze Marionette Theater
In 2010 Rezo Gabriadze built a unique clock tower next to the marionette theatre in Tbilisi's old town. Every hour an angel comes out with a small hammer to ring the bell. There is a small puppet theatre inside the tower, and twice a day, at 12:00 and 19:00, you can see a show – “The Circle of Life.” Rezo decorated the tower with hundreds of tiles, which he designed himself, and then it instantly became a prominent architectural attraction of Tbilisi. People often call it the Tower with a clock or The Tower with the angel.
8. Anchiskhati Basilica
In the historical district, in upper Kala, on Shavteli street, the Anchiskhati basilica is located, the church dates back to the 6th century. According to the historical sources, it was constructed by Dachi Ujarmeli ( from Ujarma). It was bearing the name of the Virgin Mary’s Birth. The name Anchiskhati was given to it a little bit later. When Peter Meskhi moved the image of Christ not made by hand from the Anchi church to this one in 1675, Peter was granted the position of a pastor by the Catholicon Domenici. From this day on, the Meskhishvilis were pastors of the church. The son of Peter- Alex is the founder of the calligraphers’ dynasty called the Aleximaskhishvilis.
9.
We stop at the Patriarchate of Georgia and hear interesting facts about the place.
10. Sioni Cathedral Church
Sioni Cathedral is located on the street having the same name, in one of the oldest districts of Tbilisi, in upper Kala. According to the legend, the first church on the very place was constructed by King Vakhtang Gorgasali in the 5th century,
11.
Tamada means a toastmaster in Georgian. We stop at a place and hear exciting stories about this tradition of toastmastering.
12. Shardeni Street
Shardeni Street is one of the most popular and beautiful streets in Tbilisi. This pedestrian street is so well known that any guest that travels to Georgia never leaves this country without visiting Shardeni Street.
13.
We use a cable car to get to Mother of Georgia's statue and see amazing views from there.
14. Kartlis Deda
Kartvlis Deda (Mother of a Georgian), erroneously known as Kartlis Deda, is a monument in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi, which has become a city symbol. The statue was erected on the top of Sololaki hill in 1958, the year Tbilisi celebrated its 1500th anniversary. Prominent Georgian sculptor Elguja Amashukeli designed the twenty-meter aluminum figure of a woman in a Georgian national dress. She symbolizes the Georgian national character: in her left hand, she holds a bowl of wine to greet those who come as friends, and in her right hand is a sword for those who come as enemies.
15. Narikala Fortress
Narikala fortress is the most known landmark of Tbilisi. No one leaves Tbilisi without walking around this impressive fortress. You can feel the history of Tbilisi, even though the walls are not in great shape. During the day, the Narikala Fortress draws your attention from all sides of Tbilisi. It overlooks Mtkvari River, which makes Narikala more incredible. Narikala is one of the most visited places in Tbilisi.
16.
During the walking tour, we have the possibility to visit a mosque as well and hear how important tolerance is for the country.
17.
Leghvtakhevi is the waterfall we visit during the tour; the place is popular among Georgians and foreigners to chill when it's hot.
18. Chreli Abano Spa
Chreli Abano is a place for a sulfur bath that is so popular among tourists and Georgians. The site looks like a mosque, but it's a sulfur bath, nice to visit and have fun.
19. Abanotubani
The “Abanotubani” is the name given to the district in the Old Town of Tbilisi. There is a whole street (Abanos Kucha) of public bathhouses that use the sulfurous waters of the many hot springs in this area.

We recently embarked on a 3-day tour, and our first day was a delightful walking city tour of Tbilisi. Mariami, our guide, was a wonderful lady who showcased the rich history and beauty of the city. She took us to various historic sites and provided insightful stories about each spot. I learned so much about Georgian culture. We enjoyed wine tasting, rode the cable cars, tried local bread, and experienced much more. It was an incredibly enriching experience. Even though it was a hot day, we enjoyed our walk through the city

This tour despite the summer weather in Georgia was very good. Very Informative and our tour guide Nini/Ungo is amazing - never seem to get tired in answering all our questions about Tbilisi, always with a smile on her face. It was worth getting this tour since we do not know much about the area, so it was the right venue to move around and explore while being guided by local expert. Some interesting parts of the tour for us like the story of the high five king, the toastmaster, St. Nino's Cross, the tiniest clock you'll ever see - and it's working!, the mother of Georgia is a sight to see among others. Enjoyed the wine tasting and the pastry as well, all the walking paid off :)

The tour guide Ilia was amazing, he show us all the important places in Tibilisi and gave us a lot of recommendations. Besides, he explained us all the story of the city, in a very clear and smooth way and solve our questions

Apart from that, the tour itself is quite nice, going around all the important places in the city, however, it does not feel tiring

No doubt it is worthy to get to know the city and get closer to Georgian culture
