About this itinerary
This version of the Old Tbilisi experience focuses on walking. Historic places, churches and local stories reveal the capital’s character, while the wine theme adds another side of its culture. The separate boat-ride option is available for travellers who want a river stage.
Choose your walking rhythm
A walking format keeps the focus on streets and details of the historic centre. Check the wine-related arrangements and optional visits: not every optional activity is included in the main price.
What awaits you
Walking tour: museum and churches You will walk through the historic sites of Tbilisi. The guide will explain how these places came about and what their significance is. Our route includes:
- State Museum of Georgia. You will see the relics, works of art and archaeological finds it houses.
- Metekhi Church. The first Georgian martyr, Saint Shushanik, is buried by its walls. Near her icon inside the church, it is customary to make a cherished wish.
- Sioni Cathedral, built in honour of the Dormition of the Mother of God. It holds the Cross of Saint Nino, the Enlightener of Georgia, one of the most revered relics for Georgians.
- Anchiskhati Church is the oldest church in Tbilisi. Here you will learn the story of the icon after which the church was named.
- Clock Tower by the Rezo Gabriadze Theatre. Every hour, an angel appears from the tower's little doors and strikes the time with a small hammer and bell. And twice a day, at 12:00 and 19:00, you can watch 15-minute puppet shows called 'The Cycle of Life'.
You will learn:
- What the first toast at a Georgian feast is
- Why the people of the Caucasus call Georgians gyurji (or gurji), kartveli and vraci
- How many folds a proper khinkali should have
- And much more!
If you wish, we can end the tour with a tasting of wine and chacha in a 17th-century cellar, where you will try 6–8 varieties of your choice.
