Overview
Start your journey by meeting your guide in front of Rustaveli Metro Station, the first and oldest metro station in Georgia. From there, dive into the city's underground world as you ride the metro, experiencing its deepest escalator, which takes 2.5 minutes to descend. Travel through several stations as your local guide shares the fascinating history of Tbilisi’s railway, how it began, evolved, and operates today.
Step off the usual tourist path to see an active mine from the 20th century and explore an abandoned electric depot with a mysterious past. Pass by the historic home of Georgia’s first railway workers, which is rich with stories of the city's railway heritage. Along the way, glimpse abandoned buildings now housing war refugees and hear how they’ve rebuilt their lives with resilience and hope.
But the highlight of the day? A secret, closed-off repair station, hidden from the public.
This is not just a tour. It’s an exclusive adventure into hidden and forbidden locations you won’t find alone. With stories passed down through generations and untold history that never made it into books, this tour uncovers Tbilisi's underground secrets through a local's eyes.
