If you’re a first timer in Georgia then Mari is the right tour guide for you. I totally recommend her! She is not only well versed about Georgia but she is the most helpful and fun guide I have ever had. I got in touch with her a month before the holidays and she was very quick and personalized our tours. I especially fell in love with Georgia because of Mari, she knows exactly where to take you and what food to try. Thank you so much for the awesome experience!

Description
In the middle of the 19th century, Tbilisi (Tiflis) was a multicultural city where Georgians, Germans, Armenians, Greeks, Italians, Poles, and Russians lived together in peace.
Because of its bohemian atmosphere, Tiflis attracted many writers, musicians, and actors, and was known as ‘the city that never sleeps’.
We’ll explore the bohemian part of old Tiflis, where Knut Hamsun lived. We’ll also visit the German colony – Neu Tiflis – and try to find out what happened in 1901, when Edvard Munch's muse was murdered in Tbilisi.
