If you are interested in architecture or not, this tour will definitely hit you. Giorgi is very friendly, funny and educated. Thank you very much, it was the best tour I ever experienced!

Temo our guide was very nice and provided us with a lot of information. Traffic is difficult in the city so expect to spend quite a lot of time in the car. Small group, we were 5 plus the guide. Some sites are more interesting than others. I liked the towers connected with a gateway.

Full description

Discover the most striking examples of brutalist architecture, visit some fascinating museums off the touristic path and see how Soviet heritage is still a part of city´s infrastructure and modern life.

Tbilisi still has a large number of Soviet buildings, residential and governmental, that are spread throughout the city, away from the touristic historical center. You will see some stunning examples of refurbished concrete giants, as well as decaying Brutalism, among them the former Ministry of Roads, the Skybridge houses, the Chronicle of Georgia monument and many more hidden gems.

This tour is perfect for urbex lovers, photographers, modern history fans and anyone who wants to see a different, non-touristic part of Tbilisi.

Includes

  • Transfer between the sights
  • All entrance fees as per itinerary
  • Professional English-speaking guide with an affinity for history and architecture
  • Food and drinks
  • Gratuities

This is a brilliant tour. I learnt so much- our guide ( Temo) was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and kind. This tour was certainly one of the highlights of the our week in Georgia. During the tour we met people who lived through the soviet era and who were open in sharing their perspective; this is something that no documentary or book could convey in quite the same way. This tour has left a lasting impression on us. Thank you so much Temo!
