Pure gold - A detailed introduction to the brutalist architecture of Tbilisi. Alex, my guide, and Fancho, my driver, were impeccable and extremely friendly. Alex’s knowledge and willingness to pass it on, as well as openness to answering questions and exploring inside several of the sites part of the tour made this tour one of the best of the trip to Georgia and certainly an eye-opening experience about a wonderful country.

Best tour in Tbilisi - One of the best tours in Tbilisi. Highly recommend this to everyone. The guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and apart from architecture, also shared a lot of information about the country in general, including the history.

Even better than I hoped - We were delighted with our tour - it was even better than I hoped for. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, and we learned a huge amount about Tbilisi past and present. If you're just interested in the pretty tourist sites, this is not for you - but if you want to get beneath the skin of the city it's ideal. It's quite intense; it took us a while to process everything afterwards. Would absolutely recommend it.

A tour not to be missed - The tour on brutalism in Tbilisi was very very interesting. Organized very well, it complied perfectly with what was proposed. The 5 places visited certainly very significant and suggestive. The car with which the tour took place comfortable, but definitely the difference was made by Kathuna! It was a very prepared guide, who explained in a very clear and detailed way and in perfect English, but above all very understandable to me as I do not speak it well. To his preparation he added sympathy and empathy, making the tour absolutely perfect!

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.
