This tour was easily one of the most interesting tours I did in Georgia. And the guide Zezva was brilliant. I saw sites I would never have seen on my own, armed with insights which further enhanced my understanding of this chapter in the country's history. Nothing was too much for Zezva -- he even included a couple of additional places when I mentioned I had read about them. And he did all this with warmth and a genuine desire to share his city with us. Thank you, Zezva. ❤️
David gave us a tour. What a friendly guy! Thanks for the amazing tour, with lots of information, and very different sites.
If you are looking for a genenuinely interesting warts and all tour, which gives an insight into soviet georgian architecture history and culture you would not get from a normal tou, then I would recommend this. Temo our guide was brilliant. We loved it, especially the surprise at the end.

Giorgi was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. We were very impressed with his insights of Georgian history. I highly recommend this tour.
Temo was a great guide. Very informative, and we saw so much. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in Soviet history.
Really cool site seeing trip for those random places the normal tours don't do. Temo the guide was fantastic - super personable & knowledgeable.
The tour was amazing. He knew a lot about all of the different statutes and buildings and was more than happy to answer any questions. Everywhere you went there was a new person to meet with a different story to tell which gave a true authentic feeling of Georgia. He offered to take photos at every location, picked me up and my hotel, and then went out of his way to drop me off at the train station. Overall amazing experience
Giorgi was very awesome. He knows so much about the Soviet buildings and their history. I had so much fun! The ice cream tasted delicious. I highly recommend this tour!
