About the Tour

Tbilisi is the city of contrasts. Here modern and ancient landmarks perfectly blend with each other, leading to surprises on every corner. This particular tour takes you to hidden jewels of 19th and 20th century Tbilisi, where you'll see a former bourgeois and wealthy neighborhood - Sololaki - with its grand mansions that belonged to merchants and businessmen of that time.

Tips

Places to stop along the way

You will be stopping at most of the houses along the way, and are able to enter some of them, with permission from security.

Best time of day

The best time to take the tour is from early afternoon, before the sunset, as you'll be admiring most of the buildings from the outside.

Precautions

If you are taking the tour during summer, it's a good idea to have a bottle of water with you as it gets quite hot during the day.
