Overview
Already explored every corner of Tbilisi and there’s nothing left to discover? I'll prove you wrong on a journey into the underground history of Tbilisi, spots you’d never find or dare to enter on your own. This tour takes you deep into the forgotten side of the city, revealing the fascinating stories of Tbilisi’s railway & metro system. Learn how it all began, developed, & what it is today.
It’s a little bit of everything: a touch of Soviet-era stories, a glimpse into modern-day decisions, a bit of walking through everyday streets & visits to secret places only locals know. You’ll pass by the historic homes of Georgia’s first railway workers, a still-active 20th-century mine, and an abandoned electric depot, now a shelter for war refugees who have rebuilt their lives with strength and resilience.
The most intriguing stop? A long-forgotten railway repair station, sealed off from the outside world. Closed to the public & nearly impossible to access without local guidance. This is an exclusive invitation into restricted zones and untold histories. Discover the underground secrets of Tbilisi and hear the stories locals rarely speak about in public.
