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.

I am a travel writer, food lover and a passionate photographer born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia. I love my city, with its quirky details, modern architecture, Soviet mosaics, and hidden gems that not that many traveler, or even a local, knows about.

I write about Georgia and less-discovered countries on my blog Red Fedora Diary, as well as contribute to several travel-related websites and publications.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen

VoiceMap’s audio tour app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place. Just install it, then download your tour and go to the starting point to begin your walk, drive, cycle, train trip or even boat ride.

Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions

Tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. This is how we provide turn-by-turn directions. It also helps publishers tell a story greater than the sum of its parts. But you can use Resume to pick up a tour from the closest location whenever you like.

Listen as many times as you like

You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and the VoiceMap website. Your access to tours doesn’t expire.

Take virtual tours anywhere

Just select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours at home – or anywhere else. You’ll see the option after you download the tour. You can also listen to the whole tour here on the website.

Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync

Once you’ve purchased a tour, it’s added to your VoiceMap library. If you sign into the app using the same method you used on the website, you’ll have access to your full library of tours in both places.

Use VoiceMap offline

The VoiceMap app works entirely offline if there’s no data connection, so you don’t have to pay roaming fees. Just download the tour over WiFi before you get started.

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.
