Yerevan - Tbilisi city tour - Yerevan

During this private tour, we will be traveling from Yerevan to the capital of Georgia. You will start the walk from Rose Revolution Square and go through Rustaveli Avenue. We’ll see Tbilisi’s most important and magnificent buildings, visit the heart of the city, and walk down to the old town, which is one of the hottest rising destinations for travelers in recent years. Our friendly and knowledgeable guides will to describe all the important sites of Old City. Let’s together explore Tbilisi!

• Georgia-Liberty square: We reach the main square of Georgia-Liberty square, which is at the heart of Tbilisi. In 2010 Rezo Gabriadze built a unique clock tower next to the marionette theatre in Tbilisi’s old town. An angel comes out with a small hammer to ring the bell every hour. There is a small puppet theatre inside the tower, and twice a day, at 12:00 and 19:00, you can see a show “The Circle of Life.” Rezo decorated the building with hundreds of tiles, which he designed himself, and then it instantly became a prominent architectural attraction in Tbilisi. People often call it the Tower with a Clock or The Tower with an Angel.
• Bridge of Peace is the attraction one wouldn’t want to miss in Tbilisi. A pedestrian glass and steel bridge in a bow-shaped design sit over the Mtkvari river in the Georgian capital. It was officially opened in May 2010. The bridge was brought to Georgia from Italy in 200 unassembled components. The bridge is 156 meters long and has more than 10 000 LED bulbs built-in that are switched on daily 90 minutes before sunset.
• Vakhtang Gorgasali Street - Vakhtang I Gorgasali, of the Chosroid dynasty, was a king of Iberia, natively known as Kartli, in the second half of the 5th and first quarter of the 6th century. Dating Vakhtang’s reign is problematic. With the alliance with the Byzantine Empire, he led his people into a lengthy struggle against Sasanian-Iranian hegemony, which ended in Vakhtang’s defeat and the weakening of the kingdom of Iberia. Tradition also ascribes his reorganization of the Georgian Orthodox Church and the foundation of Tbilisi, Georgia’s modern capital.
• The "Abanotubani" neighborhood - Ivane Javakhishvili assigns to Vakhtang’s rule the dates c. 449–502, The “Abanotubani” is the name given to the district in the Old Town of Tbilisi. A whole street (Abanos Kucha) of public bathhouses uses the sulfurous waters of the many hot springs in this area. Chreli Abano is a place for a sulfur bath popular among tourists and Georgians. The site looks like a mosque, but it’s a sulfur bath. Nice to visit and have fun.
• Narikala fortress is the most known landmark of Tbilisi. No one leaves Tbilisi without walking around this impressive fortress. You can feel the history of Tbilisi, even though the walls are not in great shape. During the day, the Narikala Fortress draws your attention from all sides of Tbilisi. It overlooks Mtkvari River, which makes Narikala more incredible. Narikala is one of the most visited places in Tbilisi.
• Mother of a Georgia, erroneously known as Kartlis Deda, is a monument in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi, which has become a city symbol. The statue was erected on the top of Sololaki Hill in 1958 when Tbilisi celebrated its 1500th anniversary. Prominent Georgian sculptor Elguja Amashukeli designed the twenty-meter aluminum figure of a woman in a Georgian national dress. She symbolizes the Georgian national character: in her left hand, she holds a bowl of wine to greet those who come as friends, and in her right hand is a sword for those who come as enemies.
• Old Town - Marvel at the narrow streets and wooden balconies of the Old Town. We will walk in hidden streets, which tourists find difficult to find. We also walk at famous Shardeni Street. Shardeni Street is one of the most popular and beautiful streets in Tbilisi. This pedestrian street is so well known that any guest that travels to Georgia never leaves this country without visiting Shardeni Street. We’ll finish our tour with wine tasting, an absolute must-do in Georgia.
