Tbilisi Airport to Tbilisi
Overview
Tbilisi Airport to Tbilisi is a short run into a city where balconied old houses, a hilltop fortress and a modern glass bridge all sit within a few streets of each other. Once you land, a Haqqi Tours driver already following your flight is waiting in arrivals with your name displayed, ready to carry your party into Tbilisi in the V-Class minivan or, for a bigger group, the Sprinter. A real coordinator settles the price with you on WhatsApp, in Arabic or English, and writes it down well ahead of your flight, so nothing about the cost still needs deciding once you touch down in Georgia. Families can request a child seat when booking, and the vehicle is kept private to your party for the whole drive into the city.

Route details
About the destination
Tbilisi grew up where trade routes between Europe and Asia crossed, and the mix still shows in its architecture and its markets. Narrow lanes in the Old Town climb past carved wooden balconies toward Narikala Fortress, while the sulfur bathhouses of Abanotubani still draw visitors for a soak beneath brick domes. The Bridge of Peace links the old quarter to newer parks along the Kura river, and Rustaveli Avenue carries the city's theatres, galleries and shops in a straight nineteenth-century line. Georgian food and wine culture runs through daily life here, from bakery ovens to small cellar restaurants. The city suits travellers curious about a less-crowded corner of the region, with a compact centre that rewards walking between sights.
