Service Description

Located in the heart of the South Caucasus along the Mtkvari River, Tbilisi sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The city experiences a humid subtropical climate with warm summers averaging 79°F (26°C) and mild winters around 41°F (5°C). Beginning in the early 1800s, this small trading town underwent a remarkable transformation, becoming the administrative, commercial, and cultural capital of the Caucasus, attracting merchants and investors from across Europe and Asia. Join us for a journey through Tbilisi's transformation, where a regional trading town evolved into one of the most vibrant cities of the Russian Empire. Money flowed in, new neighborhoods appeared, and banks, hotels, theatres, and schools transformed the city far beyond its medieval core. Discover how Georgian, Armenian, German, Russian, Persian, and wider European influences met in the streets, courtyards, and facades of the growing city. Tbilisi absorbed these new styles but reshaped them in its own distinctive way, creating something entirely unique. We'll explore elegant merchant mansions and eclectic 19th-century architecture, discovering hidden courtyards, Art Nouveau details, and charming gardens. Learn about the merchants and entrepreneurs who shaped modern Tbilisi, and visit the city's famous bridal and fashion district, where wedding salons still line the streets today. Discover the era when Tbilisi became more European and ambitious while retaining its unmistakable Caucasian character. $79 for each additional screen (does not apply to corporate customers.) * This tour is not designed for our corporate customers.
