About this experience
A full day pairing the two short tours. Mtskheta first, while the light is good on the Jvari ridge and before the cathedral fills up, then back into Tbilisi for the sulphur quarter, Narikala and the old streets.
It is the efficient choice on a short trip, though it makes for a long day on foot.
