Sightseeing Tours in Tbilisi

I've taken a tour with my wife on our first day in Tbilisi. I knew, it was a risk - she doesn't like excursions, organised groups, walkings and listening. Although she got bored in an hour, it was great. It was, probably, my best hour in Tbilisi.

Anna, the guide, is unbelievably stunning. She was so inspiring. One of the best advantages of this tour - is that Anna is not a Georgian, but she's been living here for a while, so she just sharing her own outlook on life in Georgia, on Georgian traditions, people and other stuff. She is so IN Georgian culture!

And this is amazing, cause all of us have one-sided view on our own culture, so that we can't sometimes explain things seemed simple for us to foreigners. And this is where Anna comes on a stage with her ongoing interest to the foreign culture.

All those things I've heard from her during this hour simply turned my life upside down. They are so tiny, so slight and minor individually, but in common it turned out to be the best characteristics for Georgians at all. I couldn't find something like that in a Lonely planet guide, or while speaking with the locals. Nothing even close.

The day after the tour, my wife and I had a conversation about it. And she finally admitted, that the tour was great, even though she wasn't excited participating.

Her only claim was, that she wanted to go see the city be herself wherever she wanted and not walking in a organised group. Yes, it might be an issue for those, who are like my wife. If you like her position, then you should take this tour on your second day - you'll definitely discover a lot of new stuff there.

Thanks, Anna. Such a great city, such a great tour.

It was our first time in Tbilisi & wanted to take in as much of the gorgeous urban landscape as we could, without the benefit of a lot of time. Levan took us to and through the city's picturesque streets, whilst directing our attention to interesting details in the architecture and sharing stories that enhanced our appreciation of their aesthetics and history. Levan was also absolutely gracious and generous with his time. He cared enough to ask if there was anything in particular we wanted to see that we hadn't covered yet and kindly included it in our route. We highly recommend seeing the city with Levan, especially if you want to take in
a lot of the city (and get to take lots of cool photos) in just a couple of hours' time 😀

Me and my friend loved the Tbilisi free walking tour and think it's worth 5 stars!! Here's how I can describe my impressions. It all started near the pink cake-like building and let us dive into the soul of Tbilisi starting from it's 'serious ' religious part and then into the tamada 's world and futher entertainment. Anna is a born guide so passionate and well -informed! She seems to know the city from the inside with all it's moods and spirits. The tour with her had more of a walk with a good friend relaxed but packed with facts! Three hours is just enough to have a general impression but this tour made us want to explore the wonderful city more and definitely to come back!!!

My husband and i came to georgia together for the first time for my bday. My husband looked us a tour with Mari Tina and she was just great. Totally loved the experience she gave us and she took us around to visit beautiful places in Georgia. She was patient, friendly and entertaining. Would definitely recommend her and definitely will contact her again when we go next time. Mari Tina took us to see the natural lake as a bday gift and the whole experience was perfectly amazing. Thank you Mari for recommending the Georgian food and educating us about the culture as well. Thank you for everything and lovely meeting you... xoxo Highly recommended..

Did this tour with 5 friends during our 1 week trip to Georgia. Maria was incredibly knowledgeable about her city. She was very friendly (and also very patient as we were late to meet her) and was the ideal guide for our superb 4 hour tour. Some of my friends were reluctant to do a lengthy walking tour but without exception all agreed this was fantastic and was carried out at an easy pace. Maria took us to a few locations we would not have found and the tour ended with a terrific wine tasting visit to an underground wine cellar. Very highly recommend this tour. Even if this tour were more expensive it would be great value. Thanks Maria!

Эти экскурсии проходят каждый день, в 12 можно просто подойти к площади свободы и присоединиться.
Девочка там очень много интересного нам рассказала, но я лично думаю что было бы ещё лучше на такую экскурсию в первый день пойти, а то будете знать половину инфо (если вы любопытные и без гида).
Плюсов много а минус один, и как вы думаете да это конечно не бесплатно, и дело не в этом а в том что когда начнет говорить что принимает пожертвования гостей она называет цену почти (говоря что обычно люди от 15 Лар дают с одного, но если больше будете давать не откажется конечно :) ), что как-то противоречит смысла таких экскурсии

Anna was so lovely, enthusiastic, knowledgable, funny, engaging and bubbly! She felt like a friend straight away and it was comfortable and fun exploring the city with her. She gave so many interesting historical insights and fun little stories and legends that we would never have known otherwise, it really is the best way to see the city and begin to feel at home! One of the best and most valuable experiences I've had in my world travels, feel in love with Tbilisi and the Georgians immediately. I'd recommend this tour to anyone, if you do one thing in Tbilisi make it the walking tour. And it's free!

My daughter and I went on a walking tour with our guide Kristi a native of Tbilisi. She was great! She asked us up front if we had any site seeing preferences and where we wanted to go and any places we may not have wanted to go. She also let us set our own place. We went from seeing beautiful architecture to buildings, to overseeing the highest point in Tbilisi. Kristi, was kind, funny, and very knowledgeable. She even road the metro with us so we knew where to get off and wouldn't get lost. I would not only recommend her to friends, family or even strangers, I would go with her again!

This was one of the best tours I have had, our Guide Mari and driver Zura made us feel like we are home, they made us love the country and took us to all the beautiful hidden spots. they knew everything and truly love what they do...being tour guides and doing this all the time, its amazing to see them look at sunsets an awe as we do, and to take photos of the attractions out of genuine interest.....it really felt like a tour with friends and not guides.

If we go back to Georgia, it won't be without arranging it with them first

It’s certainly a long and tiring trip, but very memorable and we highly recommend that you take this tour with Maria.
We have been on many tours, but with Maria as our guide, this was the best of them. We only wish we had taken all our tours with her as her knowledge is unparalleled.
She is an awesome guide. Warm, kind, patient and friendly. Above all, she is extremely knowledgeable and you will finish your day feeling like you know so much about Georgia and it’s history.
A tour with Maria is an absolute must!

It was really magic day in magic places.
The Beka was more than local guide for us - we had a real friend for this trip.

We started early in Tbilisi, had a few stops to touch local culture, local cuisine, to have coffee break and the long way with talks.
We visited 3 impressing places, meet dinosaurs, walk glass Bridge, walk in long beautiful cave, had hiking in amazing Kanyon and finished with barbecue and long talks.
We also song songs together on our way in the car :-)

Highly recommended!

I booked this tour on my second day in Tbilisi and we saw almost went to every natural attraction within this tour which is done by one of the best tour guides I met beka 😊

He explained to us about the history of each place and helped us on some of the things while in Georgia.

I was surprised that I was invited to a small barbecue party he have arranged for our group which was really nice to sit together and chat.

If your looking to explore the nature of Georgia then this is the tour for you..

This tour to Mtskheta was an amazing experience - Mari is a very knowledgeable guide, her eyes shine when she talks about Georgia and history, and this is what we value a lot when travelling abroad. We made a private tour in a very comfortable mini-bus with her and Michail - a cool driver, who can also tell a lot about local life. The tour is perfect for half of the day, the old capital and its sights are gorgeous, not far from Tbilisi. so you will not get tired. I highly recommend to book it.

The walking tour was definitely more than 5 stars, Anna was such an awesome guide. Though I felt like running instead of walking due to her fast pace w/c i really found amusing I actually loved it. You can really see the passion in her. She's willing to help and generous! when I asked her if she knows a store selling an adaptor she tale time to called the store and unfortunately there's none. Luckily she found one just right across our place where we ended our tour. Anna is a star!

We‘ve booked the walking tour for 3 hours. It was great to see streets and ways you wouldn‘t notice. Even we are discovering staircases in private houses you would never visit. Also noteworthy: this little bakery downstairs were you can get great katchapuri. At least it‘s almost a complete city tour. And if you have special questions like where to get the metro card you could ask your guide. Ours helped to buy it :)

Thanks a lot. Very friendly guide. Thanks to Mari

Anna’s walking tour of Tbilisi was amazing! She was so fun, knowledgeable, and her English was great!!! I have already recommended her tour to multiple friends who are visiting Tbilisi as well. We went on another paid tour of another part of Georgia a couple of days after Anna’s tour and wished she was with us the whole time. Anna is a real gem. I wish I would have had even more money on me so that I could have given her a bigger tip. She was worth it for sure.

Anna made me to love Tbilisi. We were walking the Old city three days before the tour, but there is a huge difference.
Anna told us a lot about Georgian culture, habits, difference between now and then Georgia. It was very live tour, we were talking and joking a lot:)
Anna warmly welcomed us to ask any question about Tbilisi\Georgia and gave recommendations about food, souvenirs and entertaining places.
I recommend this tour for everyone, who will be in Tbilisi!

Beka was a wonderful guide and honestly, the trip to Kazbegi with Beka was the highlight of our time in Georgia. He was really very helpful and very knowledgeable. Answered every question we had and explained about the places we visited and helped us on some other things while in Georgia as well. We had a lot of fun with him in this day tour. He also offered cheap airport transfer :) I highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to visit Georgia.

Great trip from Tbilisi, where you can see many beatiful places. The mountins are breathtaking and the views unforgetable,
Beka is a great guide, which i can very recomend, he showed us realy lovely places, telled us a lot of interested informations regarding the places we visited, about history and culture in Georgia and also tips for other trips in Georgia.
This day was one of our best in Georgia!

We loved our time with Mari. She is born and raised in Tbilisi, loves English, and has an amazing way to adapt to each person on her tour based on their culture and interest. We so enjoyed our time with her and it maximized our too-short time in Tbilisi. We love the city and can't wait to come back for much longer. I highly recommend investing in your visit by spending time with Mari.
