English-speaking guides such as Freddie, Tanu, Toko, and George add history, humor, music, and local tips. Wine, churchkela, and sweets tastings are available with selected options.

“My first viator tour was a no show, so viator did a last minute switch to this one. Unfortunately it was not a hotel pick up and despite running, I could not possibly make it to the meeting point on time. I understand why the guide could not wait what with Tbilisi traffic. I do not understand why a refund was turned down by viator as none of this was my fault. I believe the no show tour was refunded. I hired a driver for the day thru booking.com and had a nice day.....”

“George was the perfect guide. I am very honest with my reviews as I do not want to book a bad experience nor should anyone. I would not have changed 1 thing. we incorporated history with how this street art & markets fit into and not only tell the story of Georgian history but where it is today. I have a much better appreciation for these artists”

4.Join a Local for a Market Tour, Cooking Class and Meal in her Tbilisi Home

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $189

Meet Tina at Tbilisi’s Dezerter Bazaar, choose fresh ingredients, then cook two or three Georgian dishes in her family home near Tbilisi Mall. Expect a private, English-language experience with khachapuri, khinkali, chicken dishes, local wine, and plenty of personal guidance.

“This was a unique experience! It was a rather unstructured, chaotic sort of evening. The host is Tina and the website needs updating as the pictures and description refer to her daughter Teo, who hasn't been running the event for several years. We basically sat in Tina's kitchen as she cooked huge quantities of Georgian food. We liked meeting her family and she was a lovely lady.”
