Tour Overview
Tbilisi – The Soul of Georgia
Tbilisi, the capital of Sakartvelo (Georgia), is one of the world’s oldest cities — a place where history, culture, and religions intertwine like layers of a rich, living tapestry. With its centuries-old fortress walls, intricately carved balconies (aivani), and vibrant multicultural spirit, Tbilisi welcomes everyone with warmth and authenticity.
This tour invites you to explore the city’s ancient streets, sacred temples of different faiths, and modern landmarks like the glass Bridge of Peace and the grand Holy Trinity Cathedral (Sameba). You’ll discover Georgia’s 8,000-year-old winemaking tradition, enjoy a wine tasting in a 17th-century cellar, and immerse yourself in the heartfelt toasts and hospitality that define Georgian life.
From the charming Puppet Tower of Rezo Gabriadze to the healing Sulfur Baths of Abanotubani, Tbilisi reveals its timeless charm — a city both old and ever young, where every corner tells a story and every guest feels at home.
