Activity itinerary

Svetitskhoveli Cathedral

  • 40m
Visit the 11th-century Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, a masterpiece of the Golden Age of Georgian architecture and the spiritual heart of the country. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, it is renowned as the burial place of Christ’s robe. You will explore its magnificent interior, adorned with medieval frescoes, and learn about the deep-rooted Christian history of Mtskheta, the ancient capital of Georgia. Your guide will share captivating legends about the cathedral’s construction and its significance as the coronation and burial place of Georgian kings.

Jvari Church

  • 40m
Jvari Monastery is a 6th-century UNESCO World Heritage site and a masterpiece of early medieval architecture. It marks the sacred spot where St. Nino erected a cross to symbolise Georgia's adoption of Christianity. Beyond its profound history, the monastery offers the most iconic and breathtaking panoramic view in Georgia—the dramatic confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers. It is a perfect location for photography, offering a unique perspective of the ancient capital, Mtskheta, from above. This site is a true postcard' of the Caucasus and an essential stop for every visitor.

Chronicles of Georgia

  • 45m
Often referred to as the 'Stonehenge of Georgia,' the Chronicles of Georgia is a massive, awe-inspiring monument created by the famous sculptor Zurab Tsereteli. The 16 towering columns, reaching up to 35 metres, depict two main themes: the upper parts showcase the kings, queens, and heroes of Georgian history, while the lower parts illustrate the life of Christ and biblical scenes. Perched on a hill above the city, the site offers a spectacular panoramic view of the 'Tbilisi Sea' reservoir and the surrounding urban landscapes. Your guide will walk you through these giant bronze and copper pillars, explaining the deep symbolism behind each engraving. It is one of the most photogenic and unique hidden gems in Tbilisi, combining grand artistic scale with spiritual and historical storytelling.

Old Tbilisi

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Old Tbilisi Highlights: History & Views -Rike Park & Peace Bridge: We start in the modern Rike Park and cross the iconic glass Bridge of Peace. Here, you have the optional chance to enjoy a peaceful boat cruise on the Mtkvari River to see the city from the water. -Cable Car to Narikala: A scenic aerial ride takes us up to the 4th-century Narikala Fortress, the ancient heart of the city, offering the best 360-degree panoramic views of Tbilisi. -Mother of Georgia & Metekhi: Visit the monumental Kartlis Deda statue, a symbol of Georgian character, and the historic Metekhi Church perched dramatically on the cliffside. -Abanotubani: We descend into the famous Sulphur Baths district, exploring its brick-domed history and the hidden Leghvtakhevi Waterfall tucked away in a rocky canyon.

Tsminda Sameba Cathedral

  • 45m
The Holy Trinity Cathedral, known as Sameba, is a masterpiece of modern Georgian architecture and the largest religious building in the South Caucasus. Rising to an impressive height of approximately 87 metres, the cathedral dominates the Tbilisi skyline. What makes this complex unique is its multi-layered structure: it is built on two levels, with a significant part of the structure located underground. The complex actually consists of nine different chapels (churches), many of which are tucked away in the lower tiers. Your guide will take you through the grand main hall, featuring stunning marble floors and exquisite icons, and explain the architectural journey of this national symbol, which was built to celebrate 1,500 years of the Georgian Orthodox Church. The surrounding gardens offer a peaceful atmosphere and one of the best vantage points for panoramic photos of the city.
