What To Expect
Chronicles Of Georgia
The Chronicles of Georgia is a monumental stone structure on a hill near Tbilisi, created by sculptor Zurab Tsereteli in 1985 to commemorate Georgia’s 3,000-year history and its adoption of Christianity over 2,000 years ago. Rising with 16 massive columns, it features intricate carvings of Georgia’s kings, queens, and biblical scenes. Though unfinished, it symbolizes the resilience and spiritual heritage of the Georgian people, offering visitors stunning views over the Tbilisi Sea and a powerful glimpse into the nation’s past.
Jvari Monastery
Jvari Monastery is a 6th-century Georgian Orthodox monastery perched atop a hill overlooking the confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers near Mtskheta, Georgia’s ancient capital. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, it’s a masterpiece of early Christian architecture, with a simple yet harmonious cruciform structure. According to legend, it marks the spot where St. Nino erected a cross to symbolize Georgia’s conversion to Christianity in the 4th century. Jvari offers breathtaking views and stands as a powerful symbol of Georgia’s spiritual and historical heritage.

5.00We had an amazing private tour with David. He was extremely professional, very knowledgeable, and shared so many interesting insights about the places we visited. David was also very attentive, helpful, positive and easygoing with a great sense of humour. By our request, he also organized a private visit to Château Mukhrani Winery, which was absolutely beautiful and very enjoyable. David was reliable, punctual, and truly went above and beyond to give us the best possible experience. Thanks to him, our private tour became the highlight of our trip, and we can highly recommend David to anyone visiting Tbilisi and its surroundings! Thank you, David!
Best and memorable tour.
