About this tour
This session follows a trail through the Botanical Garden's gorge to a small waterfall at its end. You see the trail dropping between rock walls, a stream crossing and the waterfall itself. It follows one continuous path rather than several stops.
We move at a steady walking pace along the trail, pausing at the stream crossing and again at the waterfall. I explain the site's history as we go and take questions freely.
It suits anyone who wants nature within the city rather than outside it, and travellers looking for a quieter, greener session.
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

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 6 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.
-
The gorge trail entrance 17 min
The camera follows the trail as it drops into the garden's gorge, and I explain how the site has been used as a botanical collection since the 19th century.
-
The waterfall at the gorge's end 17 min
I hold on the small waterfall at the end of the trail, and describe how the water has shaped the gorge over a long stretch of time.

A ruined bridge over the stream 17 min
I point out the remains of an old bridge crossing the stream, and explain what is known about when it was first built.
-
Your questions 11 min
Time to ask anything about Tbilisi: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 5 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Khinkali and Vera, worth a slower look.
Good to know
