About this tour
This session covers Turtle Lake and the ridge above it, reached by cable car from the city centre. You see the lake from its shoreline and the wide view over Tbilisi from the ridge. It moves between these two points.
We walk the shoreline first and then climb slightly to the ridge, since the light changes the view through the call. I point out landmarks visible from here and take questions along the way.
It suits anyone who wants the city from above rather than at street level, and travellers who enjoy a quieter, greener side of Tbilisi.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Tbilisi before heading out.
-
Turtle Lake from the shore 21 min
The camera holds on the lake from its shoreline path, and I explain how the cable car changed the way people reach this hill above the city.
-
The ridge view over Tbilisi 21 min
I turn the phone toward the ridge above the lake, where the whole city spreads out below, and point out a few landmarks visible from here.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Tbilisi: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Mtsvadi (grilled meat) and Old Tbilisi, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Tbilisi time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
