What you can expect

  • Meet your guide in front of Rustaveli Metro Station, the first and oldest metro station in Georgia. From there, dive into the city's underground world as you ride the metro, experiencing its deepest escalator, which takes 2.5 minutes to descend. Travel through several stations as your local guide shares the fascinating history of Tbilisi’s railway—how it began, evolved, and operates today.

    Step beyond the usual tourist paths as you walk past an active mine, in operation since the 20th century, before exploring an abandoned electric depot with a mysterious past. Pass by the historic building where Georgia’s first railway workers and train drivers once lived, a place filled with stories of the city's railway heritage.

    Along the way, discover several abandoned buildings that have become homes for war refugees, offering a rare glimpse into their daily lives and struggles. Hear first-hand stories about how they rebuilt their lives within these forgotten spaces, turning them into communities filled with resilience and hope.

    But the highlight of the day? A secret, closed-off repair station, hidden from the public.

    This is not just a tour—it’s an exclusive adventure into hidden and forbidden locations you won’t find on your own. With stories passed down through generations and untold history that never made it into books, this tour uncovers the underground secrets of Tbilisi through the eyes of a local.
