After fresh up we start city tour. Tbilisi is the ancient city where Western & Eastern cultures meet each other. The vibrant, beating heart of Georgia and the whole Caucasus. While at first glance Tbilisi can seem both crowded and chaotic, many neighborhoods retain a village-like feel with their narrow streets and small shops, while the Old Town is still redolent of an ancient Eurasian crossroads, with its winding lanes, balconied houses and leafy squares, all overlooked by the 17-cen old Narikala Fortress. Whichever side of the city you’re looking for, you’ll discover both on any exploration of Georgia’s capital. During our excursion, we’ll see all major highlights of the city and discover the hidden treasure of the city.
