“I decided that I would try something different and do a cooking class so I could remake the recipes at home in the UK. It was a great experience. While I was travelling solo, I didn't feel left out of the group (which was myself and another couple). Beka and Buta were great guides- and the event actually took place at Beka's aunt's house (which was beautiful). Beka and his aunt each showed us how to make the various dishes, and even provided us with recipes afterwards so we can replicate it. Because I don't eat pork, Beka's aunt was able to accommodate that and we had both beef khinkali…”

The first stop near the sulphur baths freshened us up after a late arrival to the city the night before, with a fitting portion of soup and chacha. It is good that the stops are relatively spread out, so that you get a good feeling of the city on the way. The trip was a good mixture of sight seeing, food and wine and we liked the fact that we were not rushed between places. Our guide, Captain Z was informative, friendly and easy going and fitted our group really well. A great guidWe surely recommend this tour…”

If you're into alternative culture, street art, browsing local markets, music, local food and wine or just stepping away from the usual tours of Tbilisi, TbilisInSight tours should be your go-to. Giorgi and Nodari were both super friendly, and Giorgi's guidance and knowledge on the tour was really insightful, both historically and right up to date.
