Overview
Together, we’ll unravel the soul of Georgia’s capital through its cobbled streets, ancient faith, and very liquid traditions. We'll start at Metekhi Church, where King Vakhtang founded the city 1,500 years ago. Then we'll take the cable car up to Narikala Fortress for amazing views and visit the giant Mother Georgia statue.
Next, we'll:
Cross the modern Peace Bridge
See the famous Clock Tower and maybe catch a puppet show
Wander through narrow streets with colorful, leaning balconies
Learn how wine is connected to Georgia's religion and history
Along the way, I'll share:
Interesting stories about kings, artists, and local traditions
The best spots for photos
We'll finish near the Meidan Bazaar, where you can try local sweets and shop for souvenirs.
