Excellent!
A highly enjoyable afternoon with our guide Khato! In fact, I’d even go as far as saying this is probably one of the best walking tours that I’ve done during my travels. Would definitely recommend if you’re only in Tbilisi for a short time. Bring a good pair of shoes though, as there is a lot walking - three hours worth to be exact!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review, Ryan! We are delighted to hear that your Old Tbilisi walking tour with Khato was one of the highlights of your travels. Khato loves sharing the hidden courtyards and stories of our historic district, and I will be sure to pass along your kind words to her. You are completely right about wearing good walking shoes—navigating Tbilisi's historic cobblestones and hilly alleys is much more comfortable with the right footwear. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay, and we would love to welcome you back to Georgia for another walk in the future.

Excellent walking tour of Old Tbilisi
I really enjoyed the walking tour of Old Tbilisi with, also known as “Sushi” — a fun nickname she told us is easy to remember, just like the food! 😄 Oksana is an excellent guide. Her English is perfect, and she is very knowledgeable about Georgia, its history, culture and traditions. She took us to all the interesting and important places in the Old Town and gave us lots of useful information, not only about the sights but also about Georgian food, restaurants and transportation. She was friendly, helpful and happy to answer all our questions, which made the tour both interesting and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Oksana “Sushi” to anyone visiting Tbilisi and wanting to discover the city with a knowledgeable and friendly local guide. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Response from the operator: Reading your review truly made our day! We are so happy that Oksana—our "Sushi"—made such a lasting impression on your visit. She takes great pride in sharing the history, culture, and culinary secrets of Tbilisi with our guests, and it is rewarding to hear that her passion shone through. Thank you for the high recommendation and for your kind words about her knowledge and helpfulness. We look forward to your next visit!

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Old Tbilisi Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour 3 h: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Old Tbilisi Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour 3 h 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 Old Tbilisi Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour 3 h take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Old Tbilisi Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour 3 h worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 161 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Tbilisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Old Tbilisi Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour 3 h?
+
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 Old Tbilisi Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour 3 h suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Old Tbilisi Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour 3 h?
+
Around 56 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Old Tbilisi Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour 3 h 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.
