5.00My partner and I did this tour on our second day in Tbilisi and it was hands down the highlight of our trip. Riding the metro and diving into the Dezerter Bazaar with a knowledgeable local guide felt nothing like a typical tourist experience — we were genuinely living like locals for a morning. The food kept coming: khinkali, khachapuri, pkhali, churchkhela, wine, beer — we lost count after the eighth tasting! Our guide Nina, was warm, passionate and full of fascinating stories about Georgian food culture. No hidden costs, no rushing, just a wonderful few hours exploring the city together. Highly recommend to any couple wanting to go beyond the usual sightseeing.
Great local experience

5.00One of the best experiences I've had traveling in Georgia. We used the metro like locals and headed straight to the Dezerter Bazaar, where we tasted incredible seasonal produce I wouldn't have found on my own. But what really made the tour was our guide, Natia — knowledgeable, warm and genuinely passionate about Georgian food and culture. She felt like a friend showing you her city. After the market, we visited several local restaurants and worked our way through an impressive spread of traditional dishes. Everything was included — no surprises, no upsells, just a seamless, generous experience. Highly recommend. If you want to understand Georgian food culture beyond the tourist restaurants.
