Exceptional, unusual and highly rewarding window into past Soviet and current Russian influence on Georgia. I greatly enjoyed both Teona and her driver, I learned a bunch about history, culture, architecture and how to behave like a local on the Metro. Great experience all around. Tourist-laden Old Town Tbilisi … 2 ½ stars. Tourist-free Tbilisi with Teona … 5 stars!

The tour was just perfect and tailored to our interests. It was great fun spending a few hours with Teona, learning about the history of Tblisi and what life is like in Georgia today. We saw some spectacular brutalist buildings and got great insights into the recent Soviet past.

Last week we did the tour of Soviet brutalist architecture with Teona and I can say it was a highly interesting, comprehensive and a worthwile tour. Teona provided a car with a driver so we could move easily across town. We saw places that we wouldn't have found on our own and Teona provided all the information and backround stories that made our tour special. It was great, thank you Teona!
