The Experience

What makes this tour different from a standard minibus ride? The vintage cruiser itself—an open-roof car that puts you at eye level with the city instead of behind glass. You start on Rustaveli Avenue, Tbilisi's main boulevard, where the unobstructed views let you photograph the Parliament of Georgia, the Moorish-style National Opera Theater, and the Rustaveli National Theatre as you roll past their 19th-century facades. The breeze and the street sounds come with you; so do the pedestrians waving back as you pass.

The route moves from classical elegance toward the contemporary: you'll park near the Bridge of Peace, the bow-shaped glass-and-steel pedestrian bridge that spans the Mtkvari River and connects the historic district to Rike Park. The contrast of that futuristic structure against the ancient churches behind it is the visual core of the stop. Then the bus winds into the Old Town's cobblestone streets, where the Narikala Fortress looms above Meidan Square and the carved wooden balconies of traditional Georgian houses line the way. You'll hear street musicians and feel the energy of the cafes and carpet shops as you move through—the open roof makes that possible in a way a closed vehicle cannot.

After the drive comes the tasting: wine, honey and chacha (a Georgian brandy) are included on day one. Day two is yours to spend however you want—the Sulphur Baths are nearby if you want to soak, or you can explore the neighborhoods you saw from the bus. The guide speaks English or Russian, and the tour works for all fitness levels; children can ride in a stroller or on a lap, and public transport options are available nearby if you need them.
