Tbilisi City Highlights — Old Town, Narikala & Mtatsminda (15 Stops)

A full-day private walk through Tbilisi’s signature landmarks — rewritten for a smoother flow than a simple checklist of stops. We begin at the monumental Chronicles of Georgia by the Tbilisi Sea, continue to Sameba Cathedral and Metekhi Cliff, then cross into the Old Town via Rike Park and the Bridge of Peace. A cable-car ascent brings you to Narikala Fortress and Kartlis Deda for the classic panorama. From there we descend into Abanotubani, the Leghvtakhevi waterfall, Meidan Bazaar and Shardeni Street, pause by the Gabriadze puppet theatre, and finish high above the city at Mtatsminda Park. Ideal for first-time visitors who want the essentials in one well-paced day with a local guide.

What's Included

  • Professional English-speaking local guide
  • Private transport between distant stops (Chronicles of Georgia / Mtatsminda area as needed)
