★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 83 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $77Top rated

Spend 5 to 6 hours exploring Tbilisi by private car with an English-speaking guide. Visit Metekhi, Holy Trinity Cathedral, Narikala, the sulfur baths, Dry Bridge Market, and more. Guides such as Giga, Timo, Makho, and Goga have been praised for local tips and flexible service.

“I recently experienced an incredible half-day tour of Tbilisi with Giga, and it far exceeded my expectations. While expertly navigating us through the city's highlights - from the ancient Metekhi Church to the stunning Narikala Fortress and the atmospheric Old Town - he transformed what could have been a standard city tour into an authentic cultural immersion. Giga's extraordinary hospitality went well beyond his role as a guide; he shared personal insights about Georgian life and treated us more like visiting friends than tourists. His passion for Georgia's heritage and attentiveness to every detail demonstrated a level of hospitality that truly embodied the Georgian spirit.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”
