About this experience
We believe the best way to experience a country is through its culinary culture and have designed a lively, personable food tour with passionate guides who love sharing their country through food and wine. We meet Georgia's indigenous ingredients at the Dezerter's Bazaar, indulge in exceptional fare at one of the city's most notable restaurants, and sample a healthy selection of the country's unique wine varieties at a local wine bar. There really is no better introduction to Georgia's vivacious food scene.

Deserter Market Tour
My wife and I had a great day at the Market and elsewhere in Tbilisi. We learned a bunch and enjoyed meeting him and his many market friends and of course partaking of the food and drink.

Fantastic introduction to the food and culture of Georgia!
I can’t thank Paul enough for his authentic introduction to the food and culture of Georgia. His encyclopedia of knowledge and vast network offered a unique opportunity to experience the tastes, smells, and history of food directly from the source. Smiles, laughter, and many celebratory toasts of wine and chacha filled the day. I retuned home with wonderful memories and a desire to return to Tbilisi!

The best!
Extra-ordinary. Paul knows Tbilisi - and it’s people so well. You’ll meet the ‘Spice Girl’, the honey lady, the brilliant bakers. And then finish in a wine bar or restaurant that’s for insiders. Don’t miss…
Response from the operator: Cheers, Graham! That was such a fantastic day!

Great crash course on Georgian food, culture and wine!
We really loved this tour. Paul is the perfect guide to take you to the market and show you around. He makes a really fun day out of shopping, eating and drinking so you are able to relax and not worry about what comes next. He makes sure to show you all the hidden corners and special vendors. There’s lots of stops to learn about (and taste!) local specialties. Lunch and the wine tasting afterwards were the perfect way to wind down after all of the excitement of the market. He also knows a ton about the history of Tbilisi/Georgia and is great at answering questions and giving context. We highly recommend his tour if you’re in Tbilisi!!

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half-Day Food Tour of Tbilisi Dezerter's Bazaar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Half-Day Food Tour of Tbilisi Dezerter's Bazaar cost?
+
Prices start at $75 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 Half-Day Food Tour of Tbilisi Dezerter's Bazaar take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 Half-Day Food Tour of Tbilisi Dezerter's Bazaar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Half-Day Food Tour of Tbilisi Dezerter's Bazaar?
+
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 Half-Day Food Tour of Tbilisi Dezerter's Bazaar suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half-Day Food Tour of Tbilisi Dezerter's Bazaar?
+
Around 1 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 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half-Day Food Tour of Tbilisi Dezerter's Bazaar 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, Kakheti Wine Region Tour + 10 Premium Wine Tastings & Sunset, Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,wine tasting,Chronicles of Georgia. 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.
