Great international travel crowd! Be prepared for Georgian, Russian and multinational history, culture & architecture - amazing group leader who was teacher, father, mentor - no stupid question was not seriously answered!! Sky Bridge was an amazing experience: as a claustrophobic I wasn’t going to do it - but then I couldn’t miss it! The lift attendant is a female war hero: how could I fail to go up a stupid lift! Thanks for the ice cream up top - I won the war! Tell your friends about amazing Georgia!
This tour will show you what it used to be like in Georgia with brutality monuments and housing with Viator guide David who if you want very much about history and condition of now in the country, much fine guide with good car As always at Viator, bang for your buck!
Giorgi is a great tour guide. With a wealth of knowledge, personal experiences, and a knack for good stories, he ensured that we thoroughly enjoyed the Soviet tour. We saw places that we would have missed without Giorgi. Many thanks and a high recommendation for everyone who wants to experience Georgian history from a special perspective.
Amazing tour with a great guide! We have seen a lot of unique places, learned a lot and my teenager daughters said they really liked the tour!
This tour takes you outside the usual "old town" tourist area and really shows you so much more of this large city. And the company is fantastic. Both our guides, David and Girogi were very knowledgable and kept the tour very engaged and interesting. I would absolutely recommend Real Georgia Tours.
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.
OMG What an amazing day trip to see and hear about the other side of Georgian history The guide was so knowledgable and I would recommend this tour to anyone in a second Enjoy!!!!
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.
