The Mtkvari River cuts through the city like a silver ribbon, daring you to follow its bends into a tangle of cobbled alleys, painted balconies and domed bathhouses. On this private driver-guided half-day you move at the pace of the streets — stopping where the city insists you stop: a mosque with red brick calm, a clock tower that clicks into a small puppet show, a fortress that watches the roofs below.
