The most creative tour in Tbilisi by Georgia Wanderers

We did Marina’s architectural tour in Tbilisi, and it honestly blew us away. This isn’t a typical tour at all — Marina created the route herself, and it takes you through different parts of the city to show unique, creative, and often overlooked buildings. She explains everything so simply and passionately that even someone who isn’t an architecture expert will enjoy it. We discovered places we’d never have found on our own and saw a completely different side of Tbilisi.
