Tbilisi Before the City Wakes Up - Morning Walk & Coffee

2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

See Tbilisi at a different time of day - before the Old Town becomes busy.
This early-morning walk combines Tbilisi’s best-known landmarks with quieter streets, courtyards, local stories and the atmosphere of the city waking up. Starting at Freedom Square, we’ll walk through the historic center toward the Clock Tower, Anchiskhati Basilica, the Bridge of Peace, Shardeni, Meidan Square, Abanotubani, Leghvtakhevi Waterfall and Metekhi Church.
The experience is designed to feel relaxed and personal rather than like a rushed checklist of monuments. Along the way, you’ll hear about Tbilisi’s history, architecture, traditions and everyday life, with plenty of time for questions and conversation.
We’ll also pick up an optional coffee along the way and continue exploring as the city gradually comes to life. Coffee is paid individually.
The early start, smaller group and slower pace make this a good choice for travelers who want to experience a quieter and more local side of Tbilisi.
