About this activity

I'm offering local, private tour in two Georgian cities, Tbilisi and Mtskheta. My bucket includes visiting the oldest sites of one of the oldest civilizations on the planet. The tour starts from the the ancient churches and the walls of Tbilisi and continues in the very first capital, Mtskheta which is called the 2nd Jerusalem because of its connection with the beginning of Christianity in Georgia and the preservation of the Robe of Jesus Christ.

My passion for history, medieval times, and affection for the traditional behavior of the Georgian people will make our walk tour very interesting.
