Service Description

Located in the heart of the South Caucasus along the Mtkvari River, Tbilisi sits nestled between ancient hills and dramatic gorges 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). Founded in the 5th century, Tbilisi's name comes from the Georgian word "tbili," meaning warm, referring to the area's natural sulfur hot springs. Built amphitheater-style into steep hillsides, the city's upper districts offer some of the most dramatic urban landscapes in the Caucasus. Colorful houses cascade down the slopes, and sweeping views reveal a city where multiple faiths have coexisted for centuries. Join us for a walk through Upper Tbilisi, where winding streets and colorful houses cling to the hillsides in a dramatic cascade. From this bird's-eye perspective, the city unfolds below with rooftops, church domes, and the ancient Narikala Fortress rising above the lush landscape. This atmospheric hillside district tells the story of Tbilisi's remarkable religious diversity. Within a small area, you'll discover Orthodox churches with their distinctive architecture, a historic mosque, the nearby Jewish quarter we explored in our heritage tour, and even traces of an old Zoroastrian temple. This extraordinary concentration of sacred sites reflects Tbilisi's centuries-old tradition of tolerance and peaceful coexistence among faiths. As we explore these atmospheric streets, sweeping panoramic views open over the old city, revealing the Mtkvari River winding through the valley, the sulfur bath district's domed roofs, and the patchwork of red-tiled houses climbing the opposite hillside. You'll understand why this elevated vantage point is one of the most fascinating and picturesque places in Tbilisi. Discover the Tbilisi where architecture defies gravity and faith transcends boundaries, all while drinking in views that capture the soul of Georgia's ancient capital. $79 for each additional screen (does not apply to corporate customers.) * This tour is not designed for our corporate customers.
