Every single story is unique and mine is not an exception either. It starts in Poland, when I as a tourist was trying hard to catch every detail of the new country, so at the first sight a standard trip with amazing tour guides, who helped to explore the new places, turned into a beginning of something new for me. It was couple years ago, but that feeling of excitement that comes with turning unknown places into very familiar spots, had never left me. I returned home and started to think of becoming a tour guide myself. Despite having a stable job, I could not help but constantly think of becoming a storyteller (yes, I just said story teller, instead of a tour guide). One does not just guide people through the historic sites in Georgia, here history is measured not in centuries but millenniums and every stone has a story to tell. So, Hello there, My name is Mari Tinashvili and I am a certified tour guide (a story teller as I would prefer to be called). I majored in Culturology and got BA in Arts and Humanities. I have been working as a tour guide since 2015. Hence I spent last 3 years communicating with some amazing people and rediscovering my country. The job takes a lot of skills, including some comprehensive knowledge in history, art and architecture and not to forget being an expert in dinning and night life is a huge part of it. Being born and raised in Tbilisi, I know where all its beauty is hidden. Basically one can find all the gems in details. Have you ever thought how one curve on a balcony decoration can turn a house into a piece of art? Well, that is quite possible if you are walking around the old town in my city. So, why would not you follow me on an adventure in an unknown but sometimes painfully familiar country of contrast and unique history? I will help you to turn unknown places if not into your home, at least into a location you would be willing to return at least once again.

Overview of your Tbilisi tour

Hello There, If you would like to avoid tourist traps and discover Tbilisi in 19th centuries buildings, legends and local stories about buildings or just their owners Follow me. Being born and raised in Tbilisi , I know where all its beauty is hidden. Still think that my childhood walks with me during the tour, my favorite Betlemi colorful house awaits me to open its door and tell you why I love this city and how this love affected me and my family, and my dreams for the future. It's believed that the beauty of Tbilisi lies in the details. The unity of Tbilisi's diverse styles and traditions gives it a unique appearance. The districts of Old city , with their balconies, cosy courtyards, staircases, and richly decorated European-style façades, surprise even the city's older inhabitants.

Last week we did the walking tour of the Secrets of Tbilisi with Mariami and it was a pure joy to discover the hidden corners, courtyards and secrets of this wonderful city. We saw places that we wouldn't have found on our own and Mariami provided us with all the information and was able to explain the history and development of Georgia and of Tbilisi in a very comprehensive way. She is so well informed, pleasant and has a great sense of humour. I recomend the tour to anybody visiting the city.

Mari was a fabulous tour guide. We did four tours- Hidden Gems, wineries in Kalkheti, Gergeti/Caucasus, and Mtskheta/Jvari/Uplistsikhe. Each one was wonderful. Mari does a great job curating the entire experience. She chose marvelous restaurants for lunch and specific wineries. She handled all of the leg work required to visit the sites. She has was very flexible about adjustments. She's also very open and genuine and shared her personal experiences with us and life as a Georgia. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

This was our second tour with Mari and it didn't disappoint! We're so glad we chose this tour to see the hidden treasures of Tbilisi. Mari took us to places that other tourists would not see, yet were full of surprise and beauty. Mari was a great host and helped our group with our special needs and tailored the walk exactly to our requirements. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone interested in seeing the hidden gems of Tbilisi!
