Begin just west of Tbilisi, where the ancient town of Mtskheta awaits. Once the capital from the 4th century BC to the 5th century AD, Mtskheta is now celebrated for its two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the iconic Svetitskhoveli Cathedral and the hilltop Jvari Monastery. These masterworks of early Christian architecture are not only religious landmarks but also touchstones of Georgia’s rich artistic and spiritual heritage. Your guide will bring these centuries-old sites to life with fascinating insights and historical context.
Midway through the tour, pause to enjoy a traditional Georgian lunch, sampling local dishes that showcase the region’s renowned culinary culture. Afterward, return to Tbilisi for a captivating exploration of both its old and new districts. The city’s cosmopolitan character is palpable in its lively streets, where multi-ethnic traditions and a dynamic past merge seamlessly.
A highlight of your Tbilisi visit is the exhilarating cable car ride up to Narikhala Fortress. From its ancient ramparts, take in sweeping views of the city—a moment that perfectly encapsulates the blend of history and modern energy that defines Tbilisi today.
This tour package stands out for its seamless combination of two of Georgia’s most significant destinations, offering an in-depth look at the country’s religious and historical evolution. Perfect for travelers who crave a deeper understanding of Georgia’s past and present, this journey ensures that you experience both the grandeur of UNESCO-listed monuments and the lively spirit of contemporary Tbilisi—all in a single, memorable day.
