What you can expect

Meet your guide in central Tbilisi near Rustaveli Metro Station and head to Mtskheta, the ancient capital and spiritual centre of Georgia. Overlooking the town from a hilltop is the magnificent Jvari Monastery, a 6th-century architectural masterpiece and UNESCO-recognized monument. From here, enjoy breathtaking views of the confluence of the Aragvi and Kura rivers and learn about the legends and events that shaped the nation’s identity.

Next, explore the majestic Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, one of Georgia’s most revered religious landmarks and a masterpiece of medieval architecture. Inside, your guide will share stories about sacred relics, royal burials, and centuries-old traditions that continue to define Georgian culture. While in Mtskheta, you’ll enjoy a complimentary tasting of traditional Georgian wine (if dedicated option is chosen), churchkhela and honey.

For those who want to add a touch of adventure, an optional boat ride on the Kura River is available for an additional fee. This relaxing excursion provides a unique perspective of the historic surroundings and is a perfect way to enhance your visit.

Returning to Tbilisi, the tour continues at the monumental Chronicles of Georgia, an impressive hilltop monument often called Georgia’s “Stonehenge.” Its towering pillars depict scenes from Georgian history, religion, and royal heritage, while the panoramic views of the Tbilisi Sea and city skyline make it a favourite photography spot.

The final stop is the Holy Trinity Cathedral (Sameba), one of the largest Orthodox cathedrals in the world. With its grand scale, golden dome, and peaceful atmosphere, this modern landmark beautifully reflects Georgia’s spiritual life and architectural ambition.

After a half-day morning tour filled with discovery, stories, and unforgettable scenery, you’ll return comfortably to your starting point at Rustaveli Metro Station.
