Tbilisi is a Nice Place to Stay
Our guide (Mary) was very nice and she had excellent presentation skills. On the other hand, I believe the tour price was bit higher than should be.

<p>The tour was excellent - lots of sites to see, lots of walking which I like as opposed to bus tours where you spend most of the time on the bus. Lela the tour guide took me to most of the important sites I wanted to see and was flexible enough to cater to few of my custom requests. Lots of information on the history of Georgia and its jewels Mtskheta and Tbilisi. Again, the timing was not the best February, I suppose it is best to tour the region in late spring or early fall. However despite the chilly and windy day the tour was very good!</p>

<p>I enjoyed the tour and the guide was excellent as well. You get a chance to see the highlights of these two cities. I enjoyed walking around and absorbing the sights and feel of the city. I just missed out on the cable car ride as it just closed on the day I arrived.</p>

One Day Tour to Tbilisi and Mtskheta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does One Day Tour to Tbilisi and Mtskheta cost?
+
Prices start at $115 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 One Day Tour to Tbilisi and Mtskheta take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 One Day Tour to Tbilisi and Mtskheta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 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 One Day Tour to Tbilisi and Mtskheta?
+
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 One Day Tour to Tbilisi and Mtskheta suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book One Day Tour to Tbilisi and Mtskheta?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does One Day Tour to Tbilisi and Mtskheta 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:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,Chronicles of Georgia & Wine Cellar, Kakheti Wine Region Tour + 10 Premium Wine Tastings & Sunset, Day Trip to Kazbegi and Gudauri. 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.
What is included in One Day Tour to Tbilisi and Mtskheta?
+
Included: 1 bottle mineral water per person; Transport throughout the city tour; Cable car ride to Narikala fortress; and Guided sightseeing tour. Not included: Lunch; Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 6 listed pickup locations in and around Tbilisi. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is One Day Tour to Tbilisi and Mtskheta offered in?
+
It is offered in Russian, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
