Private Guide in Tbilisi — Personalized Tours
Local guide Timur. English-speaking, lives in Tbilisi since 2023. 12 private tours — authentic local experience, no tourist scripts.
Finding a good local guide in Tbilisi changes everything. Not someone who recites memorised facts at landmarks, but a person who actually lives here — knows which courtyard to slip into, which wine bar opened last month, which balcony terrace has the best light at sunset. That is what a private guide in Tbilisi means: someone who shares the city from the inside.
Guide Timur has been living in Tbilisi since 2023. He conducts all tours personally in English and knows this city the way residents do — not the curated tourist version, but the real one. 87 reviews from international travellers, expats and digital nomads confirm it.
About the Guide
Timur is not a tour agency employee. He is a local who chose Tbilisi, fell in love with it, and now shares it with people who come from all over the world.
Timur — Your Local Guide in Tbilisi
I moved to Tbilisi in 2023 and have been exploring it ever since. I know where locals eat khinkali on a Tuesday morning, which street has the best Soviet-era mosaics, and why Tbilisians call their city "warm" — it is not about the weather.
My tours are not scripted. Each one adapts to the people in front of me: families get different stories than solo travellers; architecture fans and food lovers take different turns. I keep groups small — maximum 7 people — so there is always space for real conversation.
I speak fluent English and have hosted guests from the UK, US, Australia, Israel, Germany and many other countries. If you want to understand Tbilisi rather than just photograph it, let's talk.

Where does the tour start?
Timur picks you up at your hotel or meets you at an agreed central point. The meeting location is confirmed when you book. For day trips the pickup is at your accommodation.
