Highlights
We will visit with you the ancient capital of Georgia, the city of Mtskheta and those Holy places where Christianity was born in Georgia. Mtskheta is also called the second Jerusalem, because in the Cathedral of Svetitskhoveli the greatest relic of the Christian shrines - the Chiton of the Lord - is invisibly stored. Mtskheta was given the status of a city-museum and the main antiquities of the city were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Next, you will have an unforgettable walking tour through the picturesque streets of the old city of Tbilisi, during which I will tell you about the history, culture and traditions of the Georgian people and Tbilisi residents. Also, during the walk, you will be able to visit those locations that are popular among locals and have not yet been included in the general tourist program, including installations. The excursion program also includes wine and chacha tasting in one of the best wineries in the city.

About Tbilisi
Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, spills along a river gorge beneath a fortress, mixing balconied old houses, sulphur baths and bold modern landmarks.
The old town gathers along the Mtkvari River, its narrow streets lined with carved wooden balconies, churches and wine bars. Abanotubani, the bath district, is crowned by brick domes over sulphur springs, and the walls of Narikala Fortress overlook it all, reached by cable car or a steep walk. The Mother of Georgia statue stands on the ridge holding a sword and a bowl of wine.
Top-ranked sights in Tbilisi: Metekhi Church, Narikala Fortress, Tbilisi Old Town (Dzveli Tbilisi).
