Rejseplan
Tbilisi er hovedstaden og den største by i Georgien, der ligger ved bredden af Kura-floden med en befolkning på 1,5 millioner mennesker. Tbilisi blev grundlagt i det 5. århundrede e.Kr. af Vakhtang I fra Iberia. På grund af dets placering på krydset mellem Europa og Asien og dens nærhed til den lukrative Silkevej var Tbilisi gennem historien et stridspunkt blandt forskellige globale magter. Tbilisis mangfoldige historie afspejles i dens arkitektur, som er en blanding af middelalderlige, neoklassiske, Beaux Arts, jugendstil, stalinistiske og moderne strukturer. Historisk set har Tbilisi været hjemsted for mennesker med flere kulturelle, etniske og religiøse baggrunde, selvom det i øjeblikket er overvældende østlig-ortodokse kristen.
Metekhi Assumption Church blev bygget af den georgiske konge St Demetrius II (1278–1284). Det blev senere beskadiget og restaureret flere gange. Under den russiske styre (oprettet i 1801) mistede kirken sit religiøse formål og blev brugt som soldatbase. Citadellet blev revet i 1819 og erstattet af et fængsel ned til den sovjetiske æra (lukket i 1938). Statuen af kong Vakhtang Gorgasali af billedhuggeren Elguja Amashukeli blev rejst i 1961
Du tager svævebane til Mother of Kartli-monumentet, der blev opført i 1958, året hvor Tbilisi fejrede sit 1500-års jubilæum. Billedhugger Elguja Amashukeli designet en 20 meter aluminiumsfigur af en kvinde i en national kjole. Hun symboliserer den georgiske nationale karakter: i sin venstre hånd holder hun en skål vin for at hilse på venner, og i sin højre hånd er et sværd for fjender. Gæsterne kan nyde panoramaudsigt over Tbilisi. Du kan nyde en betagende panoramaudsigt over gamle Tbilisi.
Narikala fæstning blev etableret i det 4. århundrede som et sasanisk citadel kaldet Shuris-tsikhe (Invidious Fort). Det blev betydeligt udvidet af kong David bygherren (1089–1125). Mongolerne omdøbte den til Narin Qala ("Lille fæstning"). De fleste af befæstede befæstninger stammer fra det 16. til det 17. århundrede. I 1827 blev borgen beskadiget af et jordskælv. Gæsterne kan nyde den gamle fæstning og en fantastisk udsigt over Tbilisi.
Efter at have udforsket Narikala fæstning besøger du svovlbad og Leghvtakhevi vandfald. Svovlbad er termiske fjedre, der kommer fra jorden, indeholder svovl (40 ° -50 ° C). Svovlbade behandler hudproblemer, tør hovedbund, arthritiske led, fordøjelsesproblemer og søvnløshed. Efter svovlbade besøger du Love Lock Bridge og Leghvtakhevi-vandfaldet, der strømmer fra en botanisk have i Tbilisi.
Kong Vakhtang Gorgasali byggede en helgenkors kirke i det 5. århundrede kaldet Golgotha. Ifølge legenden havde St Nino boet her. Den nuværende bygning er dateret af 1500-tallet, men blev ødelagt flere gange. Genoprettet i 1990. er det et eksempel på udført kirke "Chapelhall". Indtil 1921 tilhørte Cross of Cross-kirken Jerusalim-patriarkatet. Det finansierede Jerusalim krydskirke i århundreder af den grund, at det er koldt "Korsfader".
Sioni-katedralen bærer navnet Mount Sion i Jerusalem. Det blev oprindeligt bygget i det 6.-7. århundrede, men blev ødelagt af udenlandske indtrængende og rekonstrueret flere gange. Den nuværende kirke er baseret på en version fra det 13. århundrede med nogle ændringer fra det 17. til det 19. århundrede. Katedralen blev fuldstændig genopbygget af kong David bygherren i 1112. De grundlæggende elementer i den eksisterende struktur stammer fra denne periode. Den blev stærkt beskadiget i 1226, da dens kuppel blev ødelagt efter Jalal ad Din orden. Sioni-katedralen var den største georgiske ortodokse katedral og sæde for den katolsk-patriark i hele Georgien, indtil den hellige treenighedskatedral blev indviet i 2004.
Rezo Gabriadze født i 1936 er teater- og filmregissør, forfatter, maler og billedhugger. Fundet teater i 1981. Urtårnet blev tilføjet i 2011. På timen åbnes et vindue, og en mannequin af en engel slår klokken. Under uret åbnes en skærm og viser livets cirkel: dreng møder pige, ægteskab, fødsel og begravelse.
Anchiskhati-basilikaen i St Mary er den ældste overlevende kirke i Tbilisi (6. cent.) Bygget af kongen Dachi. Oprindeligt dedikeret til Jomfru Maria, blev det omdøbt til Anchiskhati (ikon af Ancha) i 1675, da det skattede ikon oprettet af det 12. århundrede guldsmed Beka Opizari ved Ancha klosteret i Klarjeti blev flyttet til Tbilisi så bevare det fra en osmannisk invasion (nu kl. kunstmuseet i Georgien). Basilikaen blev beskadiget og genopbygget flere gange. Klodset klokketårn blev bygget i 1675. Dome blev tilføjet 1870'erne. I den sovjetiske tid blev bygningen brugt som et kunststudie. I 1950. restaurering startede. Anchiskhati-koret er verdens førende eksponent for georgisk polyfonisk musik. Anchiskhati Basilica er en tre-span basilika. Oprindeligt konstrueret af gule sten, blev mursten brugt til restaurering. Bortset fra altertavlen, der var malet i det 17. århundrede, stammer alle malerier fra det 19. århundrede.
Bridge of Peace blev åbnet i 2010 (150 m) og har et havdyrdesign. Designet af den italienske arkitekt Michele De Lucchi, der også tegnet præsidentpaladset og Georgiens indenrigsministerium. Efter afslutningen af turen kan gæsterne foretage en bådtur ved floden Mtkvari (mod ekstra gebyr).

Tako guided the tour I took, and it was wonderful to go walking with her! The tour schedule is well balanced: a mix of treats (fresh bakery bread + some quiet time tasting superior wines), a sense of historical Tbilisi and a sense of the present and future city. This tour was like having a look around with a funny and knowledgeable friend; I really recommend it.

Very friendly, informative trip with amazing experience. I highly recommend Select Georgia. The tour guide George was extremely humble.

We had the most AMAZING time with Giorgi during our walking tour. He was on time, professional, warmly and made us feel like we were paging through the story of Tbilisi. The whole experience was so worth it and I would do it all again in a heartbeat! The wine, bread, history and feel is something we will talk about for years to come. Let this be the first tour you do when you arrive!
Thank you for your review. We enjoyed organizing Tbilisi Old Town Walking Tour for your group. Hope to see you again soon. Thanks again.
George was an excellent guide, making sure we gained a well-rounded, instructive and enjoyable tour of Tbilisi’s old town! From the numerous churches to the local wine and bread tasting, we had a fantastic experience discovering both its more famous and hidden sites and attractions. We thank George for his knowledge, helpfulness and enthusiasm 😊

Giorgi is amazing. Anything else I say is just a bonus. He is warm and pleasant and also engages well. He makes you feel a part of the town as if you were born in it.
Thanks a lot for your kind words. We have enjoyed organizing Tbilisi Old Town Walking Tour for you. Hope to see you again soon. Thanks a lot for the review.
I am hesitant to leave a negative review as everything else on our trip to Georgia was excellent, but after reading such positive reviews, we decided to book this trip to get an overview of Tbilisi on our first day there. Apparently, our guide, Giorgi, was not having a good day which is understandable as he had to wear a mask and trek up and down hills in over 40-degree heat. However, as it was a private tour and he was guiding a couple in their 60s, there should be some room for flexibility. The guide was very knowledgeable, but the information was delivered in an unenthusiastic way, and he seemed rather bored. Unlike other reviews, there were no stories or humor. As there were 5 churches on his itinerary and we are very interested in the history of the Jewish community in Georgia, we asked to see a synagogue rather than 2 of the churches scheduled. His response as we passed the synagogue we wanted to hear about and visit was "Here it is. You can come back on your own another time." We did go in briefly and fortunately, another tourist we met later on provided a complete explanation along with a video he made when visiting there. Giorgi also walked WAY ahead of us the last hour of the tour, which is not acceptable under any circumstances. We are world travelers and know what to expect and to top it off, there was no bakery visit, which we really would have enjoyed. Again, it seems the guide was having an off day and although we learned a lot, it could have been much better if the guide was relating to our needs and wants and not his own inflexible schedule.
Thanks a lot for your review. Your honest feedback allows us to improve not only Tbilisi Old Town Walking Tour but also all our tour products. As mentioned in the tour description, Tbilisi Old Town Walking Tour includes walking in the old town with various terrain. In order to enjoy the best panoramic views of Tbilisi, guests need to visit Narikala fortress via Aerial Cable Car and walk down the stairs to enjoy unique scenery and beautiful streets of Tbilisi. After the booking is made and the night before the tour date, we communicate to all guests to let them know more details about the tour and any recommendations for the tour. During the communications via email, guest can let us know about any special requests that they have. It would have been great, if you had told us in advance about your interest via our communication email, we would have instructed our guide to devote more time to your request, as our main goal is to make the tours as enjoyable as possible. In order to solve the issue, we will add special interest section during the booking process of our tours and ask our guests via communication email if they have any special interests other than the itinerary of the tour. The duration of the tour is 4 hours but because of the heat, to provide more enjoyable walking experience, the guide operated the tour during 5 hours. Due to the slow phase of the tour, the guide could not include stop for the Bakery, yet guide could include wine degustation as well as bread tasting in the tour. Tbilisi Old Town Walking Tour does not include drop off service but as you required transfer to the restaurant, the guide happily and without any extra charge, transferred you to the restaurant located in the downtown area of Tbilisi. To let you know until what time was the restaurant working due to COVID-19 regulations, the guide called to the restaurant manager and the guide did not leave the restaurant until he made sure that the restaurant manager would order the taxi for you after you finished your dinner. Additionally, to allow you to rest and relax and to minimize the distance you had to walk at the end of the tour, the guide walked ahead of you to drive the car as near as possible. Thanks again for your review. You feedback allows us to make Tbilisi Old Town Walking Tour more enjoyable for our guests. We will make sure our guides understand all needs and expectations that our guests have to provide the best experience possible. Additionally, we will add more stops and attractions to the tour itinerary to make Tbilisi Old Town Walking Tour as enjoyable as possible. Thank you for you time and effort. Your honest review means a lot for us. Thank you.
We had the best experience on this walking tour: the route was amazing and gave a great overview of Tbilisi and George (our tour guide) was beyond exceptional. We saw all of the main attractions such as Mother of Georgia monument, sulfur baths, cute streets of Old Tbilisi and so much more. Wine tasting was great! And we enjoyed bread as well. George made sure we had time to rest if we needed a break, but he was also managing our time on the tour very well. One thing I would suggest while taking this walking tour around Tbilisi is to make sure you’re wearing an appropriate attire for the churches (skirts and headscarves for women, long pants for men). We saw several old churches on this walking tour, so better be prepared for that. Overall, it was by far my favorite walking tour and it made our time in Tbilisi much more meaningful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Thanks a lot for booking the tour and writing the review. Your honest feedback means a lot for us. We are glad that you enjoyed Tbilisi Old Town Walking Tour. Hope to see you again soon.
We had a walking tour with George, which was absolutely fantastic. He is by far one of the best guides I have ever experienced. First, his knowledge of the history of Georgia was top notch. He answered all of the many questions we had for him. You could also see he was passionate about the tour and being a guide. The most welcome thing though was his willingness to go above and beyond. He helped us find an exchange place to exchange money that had the best rate. He also took us to a place to get a Covid PCR test and helped discuss details with the staff there. These last couple things were in addition to the regular tour. The bottom line is, George was one of the best tour guides I have experienced and I would rate the tour a solid 15/10. I highly recommend using George’s services the next time you’re in Georgia.
Thanks a lot for your kind words. Your honest feedback means a lot for us. We have enjoyed organizing Tbilisi Old Town Walking Tour for you. Hope to see you again soon. Thanks a lot for the review.
