Fascinating suburb of Tbilisi to explore
Excellent personal tour; whether experienced or new to Tbilisi you will learn a lot about the Victorian-era suburb just across the river from the old town.

Exploring the unique architecture and backstreets across the river offers such a different perspective on the city's character. We are delighted that you found the historical insights fascinating. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope you carry wonderful memories of your time here with you.

good tour for off beat...
good tour for off beat spaces. Involves a lot of walking so be prepared accordingly with comfortable shoes. Guide is super nice and knowledgeable.
Response from the operator: Hello Varun, Thank you so much for your kind words about the tour and for mentioning that our guide was super nice and knowledgeable — we truly appreciate it. If you don’t mind me asking, could you please share what made you choose 4 stars instead of 5? Your feedback really helps us improve the experience for future guests. And one more small question — our guide works very hard to give guests the best possible day. We noticed there were no tips left, so we just wanted to check if everything was fully comfortable for you during the tour. Thank you again for joining us. We value your opinion and would be grateful for any details you can share.

Khatuna gave us a fantastic private tour in Tbilisi and showed us not only the well known sights but also some well hidden treasures. Khatuna is very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and also knows a lot about Georgian history which she is more than willing to share. We could only highly recommend this tour with Khatuna to anyone visiting Tbilisi. Khatuna’s English is impeccable. Thank you very much, Khatuna, for this wonderful experience.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Alternative walking tour New Tiflis and backstreets: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Alternative walking tour New Tiflis and backstreets cost?
+
Prices start at $5 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tbilisi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Alternative walking tour New Tiflis and backstreets take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tbilisi is not rushed.
Is Alternative walking tour New Tiflis and backstreets worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tbilisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Alternative walking tour New Tiflis and backstreets?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Alternative walking tour New Tiflis and backstreets suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Alternative walking tour New Tiflis and backstreets?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tbilisi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tbilisi and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Alternative walking tour New Tiflis and backstreets start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tbilisi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tbilisi?
+
On Outty we rank every Tbilisi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tbilisi:Evening Walking & Talking Tour with Wine & Boat Ride, Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,wine tasting,Chronicles of Georgia, Kakheti Wine Region Tour + 10 Premium Wine Tastings & Sunset. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tbilisi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tbilisi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
