Step off the van into Tbilisi’s Old Town and the city pulls you forward: narrow cobbled lanes, the spice-scent of street food, and a bridge that bends light over the Kura River. The tour threads through the sulfur bath quarter, past an onion-domed cathedral, then climbs out of the basin to Mtskheta’s windswept hilltops where Jvari Church watches the meeting of the Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers.
