About this tour
This short session walks the parts of Sighnaghi most visitors miss, away from the main square and the walls. You see back streets, a quiet square with its own story, and a family-run shop where the guide talks with the owner about what has changed in the town. It is a local's route through Sighnaghi rather than the postcard one.
The call opens with a sound check, then wanders the back streets at an easy pace, stopping wherever there is a door, a sign or a shop worth a closer look. Questions come along the way, and a short list of honest tips for visiting follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone who has already seen photographs of the walls and wants to know what else is here. It also suits those planning a visit who want tips from someone who actually lives there.
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 6 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Sighnaghi before heading out.
-
Back streets away from the walls 17 min
Away from the main square, the camera follows narrow back streets, past house fronts and doorways that most visitors walk straight past on their way to the walls.
-
A quiet square 17 min
In a quiet square, the guide points out a detail most people miss, a carved doorway or an old sign, then talks about who actually lives around it.
-
A family-run shop 17 min
The walk ends at a family-run shop, where the guide talks with the owner about what has changed in Sighnaghi and what tourists usually miss on a short visit.
-
Your questions 11 min
Time to ask anything about Sighnaghi: 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: Kakhetian qvevri wine and Old Town, worth a slower look.
