How I discovered a new face of Tbilisi on a theatrical tour of Sololaki - I, being a native Tbilisian and having lived in this city for many years, learned many interesting stories and facts about the life and culture of the city. It was an unforgettable journey through time and space! I felt like I was part of a performance that was unfolding before my eyes. The actors were amazing, they played their roles with such emotion and humor that I couldn't tear myself away from them. I admired the beauty and grace of the architecture of Sololaki, looked into the cozy courtyards and front doors, listened to the sounds and smells of the city. I enjoyed every minute of this excursion and saw and felt Tbilisi in a new way!

Excursion for those who do not like excursions - The most beautiful format: only an hour of time, instead of guides there are actors who act out a piece of their life in the scenery of the city. No boring definitions or useless dates, instead, interesting details and funny stories that make you smile.
Now the guys have two such immersive excursions in their arsenal - in the Sololaki district and near the Marjanishvili metro station. The first is a hit of the tourist center, and the second is very cozy with treats. This was my first time seeing this format and I was very delighted. It’s also great that in popular areas the kids found some cozy, hidden corners, and even walking with them around the area where I live, I saw a lot of interesting and new things.

Back to the past. - Delight and admiration. Goosebumps. From everything starting with the choice of location (Sololaki), script, actors and immersion in the history of each house, street, story told and legend. I lived in this area for half of my childhood, but.....discovered it again and from the other side.
Special thanks for the organizational part of the excursion. Good luck and success to you guys! New discoveries, new impressions and new emotions.

About love in Georgia - I really liked it, incredibly beautiful. Well thought out down to the smallest detail. It’s great that we ended up in places where we ourselves would not have liked. Interesting stories about the city and the plot of the performance are woven into the history of the city. The storytelling style is cool as they are integrated into the characters' story. It felt like we were watching a movie. It was great that there was a calm pace, there was no rush.
We are delighted!
Is it possible to have the actors kiss at the end?

Tour of old Tbilisi! - An hour-long excursion, on foot, very exciting and unusual in the sense that it did not sound like this or that person lived here, but was theatrical and played by a very sweet and beautiful girl! Definitely recommend!

Amazing excursion! - Just a wonderful tour!
Unforgettable emotions and impressions, a romantic love story with actors + a tour of the front doors and Sololaki district.
Advantages of the organization that I really liked:
1. Everything happens in headphones, without being distracted by the noise of the street or society
2. There were only 6 people on the excursion - a very comfortable format
3. The excursion is only an hour and in the evening - you definitely won’t get tired of the heat.
I definitely recommend the format 😍

Perfect little introduction to Tbilisi! - It was an incredibly well-crafted experience, from the story it tells, to the way the actors play it out in front of you and help you immerse yourself into it. I can't recommend this enough if you want to get to know the city better and simply spend an hour of your time well :)
