About this experience
First, we will sit on my terrace, from which the whole of Tbilisi can be seen, drink wine, and then take a walk around the city. For several generations, our family has lived in the very center of Tbilisi, and my great-grandfather once brought Niko Pirosmani here from our estate. Over the years, we have gathered many stories and tales! Therefore, this walk is not only an opportunity to see the city through the eyes of a local resident, but also a chance to see it develop not through dry bookish data, but through vivid stories and memories of a hereditary Tbilisian.
What to Expect
Tbilisi - It's a Theater
After getting to know each other and sitting for a while on the terrace, we will stroll through the streets of Tbilisi. The city, which has endured many raids and absorbed different cultures, is my native Tbilisi (Tbilisi, Tpilisi, Teplograd). In the heat of the day, descending towards the square, you can hear and smell the sizzle of shashlik. If you enter this courtyard, you will immediately become a guest, where scenes from the Great Daniel, Parajanov's nocturnes, faces of Fellini and Chelentano's heroes come to life around you. So many dramas and comedies you have presented to the audience in the Tiflis courtyard! Walking down Sololak Pupal (a crazy painted lady), her past beauty shines with a playful aristocratic smile under an old umbrella. Kika (a deaf mute kind strong man) in a blue robe of a loader with an aluminum basin plays a melody and tries to hum something, while kids tease him, tug at his robe – with a skillful move, he catches one of them and gives away greasy candies. A lady with ample forms captivates men, approving whistles can be heard. The closer to the square, the narrower the Beybutova (Engels, Asatiani) street becomes. From Europe, we slide into Asia. Balconies hang like grape clusters, and fountains invite you to cool off. You are the audience and before you is the theater, and I am the deputy director and the voice behind the scenes.
Houses of Tbilisi – Atmosphere, History, People's Destinies
Madam Bozhordan's house is one of the most beautiful houses in the city of Tbilisi (used in the filming of the movie 'Seventeen Moments of Spring'). The house of Nikolai Chaykovsky, where his brother Pyotr often visited. The house where Tarielverdiev was born and lived, then the house and pharmacy of Oten, the house of the lawyer Dulukhanov, Milovsky House. The famous 43rd Tbilisi School, whose club is located in Moscow. So, at every corner, you will encounter stories hidden in the houses and streets of Tbilisi, and I will try to make these stories truly come alive before your eyes.

When my friends from all over the world and I decided to meet in Tbilisi, I chose Nico because I had walked with him before. And my other friends had walked with him. And friends of friends. And we all passed Nico from hand to hand as the main thing to find in Tbilisi for everything to come together...

This is truly an original tour and greatly differs from the typical visits to all the main attractions a...
