About the tour

The Tour Tbilisi Expats Wish They'd Taken First

Tbilisi has become one of the top relocation destinations in the world — easy visa, low cost of living, fast internet, and a genuinely welcoming culture. But the first weeks can be overwhelming without local knowledge.

This tour compresses 3 months of expat experience into a 4-hour walk. Timur has guided hundreds of relocants and knows exactly what questions come up — and what mistakes to avoid.

Whether you've just arrived or are planning a move, this tour gives you the practical foundation to navigate Tbilisi like a local from day one.
