About this tour
This session follows the run of bars along Kutaisi's chain bridges as evening sets in over the Rioni. You see a riverside terrace first, then the bridges themselves once they fill with people. It is a livelier, later session built around the city's evening mood.
We start on the terrace as the light drops and the bridges light up, then move onto the bridge itself once it starts to fill. I keep the narration light here and let the atmosphere carry most of the session.
It suits anyone who wants to see Kutaisi's evening side rather than just its monasteries and museums, and it works well as a closing session after a day of sightseeing.
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 Kutaisi before heading out.
-
A bar terrace over the Rioni 21 min
The camera settles on a terrace built over the riverbank, and I point out how the chain bridges light up once evening sets in.
-
The bridges filling up 21 min
We move onto one of the pedestrian chain bridges as it fills with people, and I explain why this stretch of the river has become the city's evening gathering spot.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Kutaisi: 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: Lobiani and Ukimerioni Hill, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.

- 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.
Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Kutaisi, showing you A bar terrace over the Rioni and The bridges filling up live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Is this suitable if I do not drink?
Yes. Say so when you book and the guide will focus on the atmosphere and venues rather than the drinks list.
