Our guide was Khatua, and she was wonderful. She picked us from the hotel in her car, and took us to all the stops. She very patient with us as we took photos and took our time in each stop. She made the whole day fun with her jokes and information. If you want to see soviet architecture, then don’t miss out on this tour.

We really enjoyed our tour! Khatuna is a natural tour guide- she gave us so much additional info in that she answered all of our questions that came up randomly and were not even always related to the exact subject of the tour [brutalism architecture]. She was friendly, helpful and took us to so many cool places that we never would have made it to on our own! I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tbilisi and it really was such a unique highlight of my time there. So fun to get off the beaten path and explore things you wouldn't get on the tourist track.

An incredible experience that I would recommend to anyone. Our guide, Xato, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and accomodating to any specific requests we had.
I normally am not a "tour person", and I prefer to experience things myself without any guide. This tour changed my perspective entirely, and made me realise the value of a well informed, prepared, friendly, and professional tour guide. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anybody on the fence about booking it.

Great excursion from start to finish. Now this isn't your typical tour. There are no tourist crowds and you have to like brutalist architecture, and a little bit of adventure. Mostly, it involves touring, often inside and out, some of the remnants of the Soviet era, what is left of it. Old museums, university dormitory buildings, murals and office buildings. All with a story, a well-narrated understanding of what is in front of you. A great way to spend a morning and just a little different from sampling walnut salad and khinkali, or visting crowded monestaries.

Alex was a great guide! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The stops in this tour are extremely interesting, and it's definitely worth it if you're going to Tbilisi. It's nice to know the more real, day-to-day aspects of the city, know more about the lives of the people and also to trek off the beaten path.

Very cool tour, many opportunities to see Tbilisi region from different angles, physically and intellectually. We appreciated Aleks’s knowledge about a wide variety of topics throughout the tour. Comfortable accommodations getting to and fro, and willingness to adjust pace when needed (travelled with retired parents who were able to comfortably sit out the archeology stop). Thank you!
