Really knowledgable and lovely guide
We had a fabulous day with Levani -he was an excellent and knowledgable guide for us -always aware of our interests and adaptable in our needs. We really enjoyed his company and excellent knowledge of the history and development of Tblisi . We had great fun and he was very good in finding us Georgian lunch and walking us through the delicacies on offer. His English was excellent and he could answer all our questions whilst we went around the city. I would highly recommend him as a guide
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely words! ❤️ It was a real pleasure exploring Tbilisi with you, sharing its stories, and enjoying some delicious Georgian food together. I enjoyed your company just as much and am so happy you had a wonderful day. Hope to welcome you back to Georgia someday! 🇬🇪

Private Tbilisi City Highlights Tour – Old Town & Top Attractions: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Private Tbilisi City Highlights Tour – Old Town & Top Attractions cost?
+
Prices start at $80 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 Private Tbilisi City Highlights Tour – Old Town & Top Attractions take?
+
Plan for about 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 Private Tbilisi City Highlights Tour – Old Town & Top Attractions worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 67 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 Private Tbilisi City Highlights Tour – Old Town & Top Attractions?
+
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 Private Tbilisi City Highlights Tour – Old Town & Top Attractions suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tbilisi City Highlights Tour – Old Town & Top Attractions?
+
Around 23 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tbilisi City Highlights Tour – Old Town & Top Attractions 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.
