Once Upon: A Tbilisi Free Tour
Overview
I'll take you to the Metekhi Church, where you will learn about the legends surrounding Tbilisi and Christianity as a core characteristic of the country's identity. After that, through Rike Park, we will be heading to the Bridge of Peace. The path leads us to the Gabriadze Clock Tower, one of the eye-catching spots in Tbilisi. We shouldn't also skip the Anchiskhati Church, the oldest one in the city.
Don’t think I forgot to mention that Georgia is the cradle of wine, which I am gonna explain at the Tamada (toastmaster) statue, which will be the finish line of our memorable day.
I hope we will meet.
P.S. Cable car ride to the Mother of Georgia (2.5 GEL per person at the entrance).
P.P.S If the cable car is not operating on the day of the tour, don’t worry — we’ll explore two extra places instead, including one special secret destination.
This activity includes:
- Anchiskhati Basilica
- Tamada (Toastmaster) Statue
- Mother of kartli
- The Clock Tower
- Sioni Cathedral
- Bridge of Peace
- Narikala Fortress
- Metekhi St. Virgin Church
Our Guides
On arrival
Meeting Point: Metekhi Church, by the Vakhtang Gorgasali Statue.
Look for King Vakhtang on his horse, that’s our meeting spot!
I won’t be sitting on the horse (although that would be epic). I’ll be nearby, probably waving and smiling.
How to get there:
Metro: Take the subway to Avlabari Station, then walk downhill toward Wine Rise; it’s about a 6-minute walk.
Taxi: Just say "Metekhi Church", every driver knows it.
Lost? No worries! Text or call me.
Things to note
Bring water, and stay hydrated.
Most important: pack your good mood.
