Brutalism at its best. - This tour provides a unique opportunity to explore some of Tbilisi’s amazing brutalist architecture. You learn about the buildings and monuments and the people that designed them, as well as a glimpse into the social context in which they were built. And if you’re lucky enough you might get to meet the lift lady.

Brutalist Architecture - This was our 3rd tour and it did not disappoint. Jonah again showed his knowledge of the subject and enthusiasm for guiding us through different experiences of Soviet architecture. Highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in Soviet architecture and especially brutalist style.

The “Brutal Tbilisi” tour... - The “Brutal Tbilisi” tour was an absolute highlight! Fascinating, full of surprising insights into the city’s architecture and history. Our guide Khato was outstanding – knowledgeable, passionate, and able to bring every detail to life with her energy and enthusiasm. Thanks to her, the tour was not only informative but also truly inspiring. Highly recommended!

A tour not to be missed for those who love architecture. - Superb tower of brutalist architecture with Khato. We saw places that were partly difficult to access alone and we would have missed the explanations and the context. Khaton is an unparalleled, accessible and enthusiastic guide who knows how to transmit the history of her city and country. My teenage daughter was won over

Private brutalist tour is a treat! - I got a private tour and was picked up from my hotel and whisked away to most of the Brutalist spots, except for two that were currently closed, which was disappointing. But my driver took me to another place to make up for it. Highly recommend!!!

What a great tour. So... - What a great tour. So interesting. Alex knew so much about everywhere we went and we had so many interesting conversations with him. We saw so much of these buildings that we wouldn’t normally have the chance to see.
