What you'll see and do
Chreli Abano Spa
Step into Tbilisi's legendary sulfur baths, where the city was born! These domed 17th-century structures bubble with 40°C mineral waters rich in healing sulfur. Notice the ornate Persian-style brickwork on Orbeliani Bath – nicknamed the 'Peacock Bath' for its mosaic facade. Locals swear by the skin-rejuvenating properties. Pro tip: Book a private room at Chreli Abano for the full experience (ask for a kisi scrub!)
10 minutes here
Leghvtakhevi And Dabakhana
Hidden behind the baths, this charming waterfall cascades through a canyon draped with colorful umbrellas. According to legend, King Vakhtang's falcon discovered these hot springs here, leading to Tbilisi's founding. The perfect Instagram spot! Listen for the echo off the cliffs, and watch for newlyweds taking photos here on weekends.
5 minutes here
Meidan Bazaar
Descend into this underground arcade beneath Meidan Square, where Soviet-era tunnels now burst with Georgian crafts. Vendors sell everything from antique kantsi (drinking horns) to handmade chokha (traditional coats). Don't miss the spice stalls – sniff the golden saffron and vibrant ucho suneli blends. The tunnel's acoustics make vendor calls echo theatrically!
5 minutes here
Monument of King Vakhtang Gorgasali
This dramatic bronze statue depicts the 5th-century king astride his horse, sword raised triumphantly. Gorgasali founded Tbilisi after his falcon led him to the hot springs. Notice the Georgian asomtavruli script on the base – it's the world's third-oldest alphabet still in use. Local students rub the horse's hoof for exam luck!
5 minutes here
Anchiskhati Basilica
Tbilisi's oldest surviving church (6th century) is a quiet oasis amid the bustle. The dim interior glows with candlelight reflecting off medieval frescoes. Listen for the rare three-part Georgian polyphonic chanting during services. The bell tower was added later – its asymmetrical arches are earthquake-resistant! Fun fact: The church survived 14 centuries of invasions by being 'too small to bother destroying.
5 minutes here
Clock Tower
This tilting, fairy-tale tower is Tbilisi's quirkiest landmark. Every hour, a tiny golden angel emerges to ring the bell with a hammer, while a mechanical theater show depicts scenes from Georgian folklore. The adjacent puppet theater (founded by filmmaker Gabriadze) hosts enchanting evening performances. Look closely – the tower's 'aged' bricks are actually ceramic sculptures telling stories!
5 minutes here
Rezo Gabriadze Marionette Theater
The Tamada Statue stands at the intersection of Shardeni St. and Sioni St., directly outside the "TAMADA" wine bar Toast to this 3-meter bronze statue celebrating Georgia's 8,000-year wine culture! The tamada (toastmaster) holds a traditional kantsi horn cup. Notice the smaller figures at his feet – they represent the 12 essential Georgian toasts (from ancestors to future generations). Locals often leave wine bottles here during celebrations. At night, the cup lights up like a beacon!
5 minutes here
Jan Shardeni Street
Once Tbilisi's red-light district, now a chic pedestrian lane buzzing with wine bars and art galleries. The 19th-century buildings retain their wrought-iron balconies – perfect for people-watching. Stop at G.Vino for a tasting of rare amber wines, or Café Gabriadze for puppet-themed desserts. Evening brings jazz spilling from basement clubs. Don't miss the 'Love Lock' alley near the end!
10 minutes here
Narikala Fortress
Climb to this 4th-century Persian fortress for breathtaking 360° views. The winding paths reveal hidden cannon slots and the ruins of St. Nicholas Church. At the summit, the 20m-tall Mother Georgia statue symbolizes national character – her sword warns enemies, while her wine cup welcomes friends. Time your visit for sunset when the city turns golden, and the Peace Bridge lights up below!
15 minutes here
Rike Park
End your tour in this futuristic park, where musical fountains dance to Georgian folk songs. The ultra-modern Bridge of Peace (shaped like a marine creature) glows with 1,200 LED lights at night. Locals joke it's 'the world's most expensive clothes hanger' due to its curved design. Relax on the grass with churchkhela (grape candy) from nearby vendors as the cable cars glide overhead.

Tbilisi City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Tbilisi City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Tbilisi City Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Tbilisi City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Tbilisi City Tour?
+
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 Tbilisi City Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tbilisi City Tour?
+
Around 0 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tbilisi City Tour 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 Kakheti Wine Region Tour + 10 Premium Wine Tastings & Sunset, Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,Chronicles of Georgia & Wine Cellar, 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 Tbilisi City Tour?
+
Included: professional tour guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Tbilisi City Tour?
+
From the golden St. George statue at Freedom Square, walk 5 minutes south down Kote Abkhazi Street (pedestrianized, cobblestone street with cafes). Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Tbilisi City Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Russian and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tbilisi City Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Tbilisi City Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Tbilisi. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
