When you reach the confluence of the Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers, turn left to follow the Mtkvari River. Continue walking along the riverbank for about 1 kilometer until you reach the bridge leading to Tbilisi. Cross the bridge and follow the road leading into Tbilisi. After crossing the bridge, you will be on Shio Chitadze Street. Continue straight for about 500 meters until you see the Mama Daviti Church on your left. It's a beautiful structure located on the hillside.

  From Mtskheta, you can take a marshrutka (minibus) towards Tbilisi from the main bus stop near the Samtavro Monastery. Board the marshrutka with the Tbilisi sign and it will take you to Tbilisi city center. When you reach Tbilisi, get off at the stop near Liberty Square (Freedom Square). From there, you can either walk or take another marshrutka to reach the Mama Daviti Church. If walking, head towards Shio Chitadze Street from Liberty Square and walk for about 1 kilometer until you arrive at the church. It will be located on your left as you approach.
