Underground Printing House Museum Tickets and Tours

Stalin's Secrets: An Underground Journey Through History

George was great, pick...

George was great, pick up, drive to two sites and return were all good. The two sites were interesting to see, worth the tour. The underground printing site was a little weird, the old owner handed me a piece of old paper to read then ask me to pay him 10 GEL. I did not pay as I already paid Viator all I need to pay. The other guy showing more pictures/documents on the wall but he does not speak English at all. I caught up with 4 other visitors from Europe various countries and one of them translated some for us. That's it. In Stalin museum, I joined a group of visitors from Norway in a English tour by museum staff. She spoke clearly in English but brief in each room. It was good enough.

Soviet Tour - Hidden Tbilisi

Highly recommended trip!

Joining this tour has been a pleasant surprise by all means. In terms of duration, this 5h journey driven around by experienced guide Giorgi to all historical sites had been invigorating and educational. Giorgi shown me 5 places having soviet-characteristics and each one of them signified a different aspect of how soviet times influenced the style and usage of the buildings, places and monuments involved. On top of that, Giorgi introduced me to 2 historians who manage the places and tell their living story of how they perceive the world around them during soviet rule. It was a huge bonus and added a nice personal touch to the tour. As a person now living in a communist society I’ve learned so much from this experience, including the fun-fact that certain cartoon characters had been banned in my native country! At the end of our trip, Giorgi brought me a nice surprise in the form of a special khachapuri with bean fillings, which was yum x 10 !!!

Soviet Tbilisi Tour - Off the beaten path

Great overview of Georgian history and culture

We spent a very enjoyable and informative day with Irakli. We saw interesting sights: underground Communist printing press, the amazing Bank of Georgia building, and an interesting bridge/elevator that local people use to navigate the hilly housing complexes. He added context and a personal touch to the tour. I thought the price was very reasonable for a private 5 hour tour.
