Dzveli Tbilisi Sulphur Waterfall, Tbilisi, Georgia Tbilisi, Georgia isn’t just a city you visit, it’s a city you experience. That means over-indulging in carb-loaded cuisine, accepting shots of homemade chacha, tripping over broken sidewalks in the Old Town while wondering in amazement at the barely-standing buildings…and making a visit to the Tbilisi sulphur baths.
The ancient Abanotubani District sits below the imposing fortress; the brick, domed rooftops of the baths bubbling up like the water itself. The district is the most historic part of the city, as according to legend, it was the sulphur springs that enticed King Vakhtang Georgasali to settle the land and declare it the new capital city in the 5th century AD. At the height of popularity, there were more than 60 bathhouses in Tbilisi where people could get squeaky clean or stay for a soak, letting the curing Sulphur water ease their ailments. 20 minutes
Shardeni Street, Tbilisi, Georgia Named after the 17th century French trader Jean Chardin,who during his travel visited Georgia and wrote and published a book about local life and people,in past, Shardeni Street was called “Dark Row”. This small, narrow street was located in the old town as it is today. The street was a center of the cultural and social life. Shardeni Street was intended for trading and as it was covered with the roofs, people called it a dark row. 30 minutes
Sioni Cathedral Church, Tbilisi, Georgia The site of the cathedral on Sioni Street has seen a series of buildings dating from the late fifth century.During an invasion by Arabs, this church was leveled and a new structure was built.

In 1112, King David IV the Builder completely re-built the church that became the basic design for the existing cathedral. During an attack by Mongols in 1226, the church was damaged again but restored anew.
The cathedral is home to two important Christian relics: cranium of Doubting Thomas and special grapevine cross of Saint Nino-a young lady who,according to tradition brought Christianity to Georgia in the early fourth century.

Georgians are a friendly and very welcoming people, and you will learn how true this is if you take this tour. The tour guide knows their stuff, has a deep love for their country, and a detailed knowledge of their city and its history. There is so much to see and do in the city that it is impossible for a tour like this to do justice to Tbilisi. BUT it gives the visitor a chance to get their bearings, learn something of the city, and instills an interest in learning and seeing more. It is perfectly safe to do further exploration and discovery later in one's visit. I am already looking forward to my return there
