Discover the Soul of Old Tbilisi: Walking Tour With a Local Guide
Overview
We are visiting the Gabriadze Clock Tower, a masterpiece of creative design that captures the imagination with its fairy-tale charm. From there, we'll explore the oldest church in the city, steeped in centuries of history, and visit the church where Joseph Stalin exchanged vows with his first love.
In this part of the tour, our focus will be on Christianity. Religion shaped up our culture a lot in the past. You'll marvel at the architectural wonder of the Bridge of Peace spanning the Mtkvari River. We'll take a break at a traditional bakery to sample authentic Georgian cuisine, immersing ourselves in the savory flavors beloved by locals. Guided by a knowledgeable local expert, you'll uncover hidden gems and hear anecdotes that breathe life into Tbilisi's history and culture. We culminate the tour at the Mother of Georgia monument. We get to the top of the mountain by cable car.
