5.00Wonderful tour! Really worth while. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the Jewish history of Georgia. The museum was very good and also didn’t take a large amount of time. Going to different synagogues was also interesting. The kosher wine tasting was a nice add on but just know, you only get to try one wine of your choosing. The whole experience was really enjoyable, highly recommend!
A memorable and meaningful tour with our amazing guide Teona!

5.00We were a large group of 17 people and had the pleasure of joining a guided tour in Tbilisi focused on Jewish history and local wine tasting – and we cannot recommend it enough! Our guide, Teona, was absolutely fantastic. She shared important and fascinating stories with great knowledge and passion, and managed to keep the entire group engaged and together throughout the day – no small task with such a big group! The tour was a perfect mix of culture, history, and local flavor, and gave us a deeper understanding of the city and its rich heritage. It was a truly beautiful and unforgettable experience that we highly recommend to anyone visiting Tbilisi. Thank you, Teona, for making the day so special!
Fascinating and beautiful tour

5.00The Jewish tour in Tbilisi was very illuminating and interesting. Teona explained the history of the Jewish people in Georgia, emphasizing the warm relationship the community has had for millenia with the Georgian people. The tour includes beautiful synagogues (including one that isn't open to the general public) along with historical stories and legends. Teona guided us through the Jewish Museum and added much needed context to help bring the history alive. It was fascinating. At the end of the tour we visited a small wine shop and tasted a variety of wines. I highly recommend this tour

5.00Very nice tour with Teona. I was curious about Jewish history of Tbilissi, because my Hostel is in the Jewish Neighborhood. Very well explained and nice places (synagogues) visited.
Wonderful tour of Jewish-Georgian history

5.00This was a really wonderful tour of Georgian Jewish history. The guide Teona is very knowledgeable on Jewish culture and history in Georgia and has designed an accessible tour of the main Jewish cultural sites in Tbilisi that is not too long (about 2 hrs total), but still very comprehensive and insightful; we learned a lot about a really unique aspect of both Georgian and Jewish history. You do not need to be Jewish to take this tour - it would appeal to anyone interested in exploring and learning more about Georgia/Tbilisi. The complimentary wine tasting at the end was a nice way to round out the afternoon. Highly recommend.
a very interesting and enjoyable tour

5.00Excellent tour providing rich insights into Georgian Jewish history. Our knowledgeable guide offered fascinating local historical context. The wine tasting was delightful, though note that only non-kosher wines are available for tasting. Kosher wines can be purchased but not sampled in-store. Highly recommended :)
