Your discovery of Georgia’s rich heritage begins with a morning pick-up at 9:00 AM. You'll start with an introduction to Tbilisi’s fascinating history and its role on the ancient Silk Road. The day unfolds with a comprehensive city tour, taking you to the historic Old Town, the iconic Metekhi Church, and the imposing Narikala Fortress, which offers unparalleled views of the city. You’ll also see the modern Peace Bridge and Meidani Square before ascending via funicular to Mtatsminda Park. The tour continues with a visit to the majestic Holy Trinity Cathedral (Sameba), followed by a drive to the ancient capital of Mtskheta.
