Walking tour: museum and churches You will stroll through the historic sites of Tbilisi. The guide will explain how these places came to be and what makes them valuable. Our route includes:

• The National Museum of Georgia. You will see the sacred relics, works of art and archaeological finds it holds.
• Metekhi Church. Saint Shushanik, the first Georgian martyr, is buried by its walls. Inside the church, it is customary to make a cherished wish by her icon.
• Sioni Cathedral, built in honour of the Dormition of the Mother of God. It houses 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.
• The clock tower by the Rezo Gabriadze Theatre. Every hour, a little angel appears from the tower’s 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 “Cycle of Life”.

You will learn:

• What the first toast at a Georgian feast is
• Why Georgians in the Caucasus are called gyurji (or gurji), kartveli and vratsi
• How many pleats a proper khinkali should have
• And much more!

Water walk: landscapes and wine We will sail on a boat along the Kura River. From a new angle, you will see the Narikala Fortress, the Glass Bridge, the House of Justice, Mtatsminda Mountain, the Sulfur Baths and other sights. And vivid city views: colourful houses with balconies overhanging the water, old churches and a small waterfall. All of this comes with captivating stories from the guide.

On the boat we will offer you to try two varieties of the legendary Georgian wine: white Rkatsiteli and red Saperavi. Plus chacha, tea and coffee.

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.
