Even if you only have a short time in Tbilisi, you have to spend at least a half-day exploring the Old Town.

It dates back more than 1,500 years and was founded by Vakhtang Gorgasali, King of Georgia (known as Iberia at the time) in the second half of the 5th-Century AD. Among the sites you will visit is the Greek Orthodox Anchiskhati Basilica, the city’s oldest church. You will also see the 6th Century Churches. Remains of the magnificent Narikala Fortress, perched on a hill with superb views of the city below, and the classical Freedom Square. (The tour includes walking and driving by car to different sights as well).
