• Georgia Travel Tips 20...
I was at the airport yesterday and followed this guide. Thanks a lot Teona. I want to add: They don't sell the travel cards in the arrival hall. Go outside, then turn right and walk until you reach the departure hall. You need cash to buy the card. Use the ATM at the orange bank counter to take out some Georgian Lira. Cash withdrawal with a credit card often comes with large fees, so use a debit card. Then take that cash and buy a travel card in the bank counter (2 or 3 Lari). You now have an inactive card. Use that card in the machine as you see in the video, to purchase a 1 day, 7 day or 30 day pass. BTW they did not accept this travel card at the cable car (even though it literally says so on the card itself...) you use a debit card there, at the turnstile. NB: You cannot buy a ticket on the bus.
Very helpful comment.
Can we use banknotes (bills) to charge the card or only coins are accepted? If no, where should we get exchange banknotes for coins? 😁
@@farhad9510 I'm sorry. I don't remember if I used banknotes or my debit card on the machine.
@@aregranhaug8617 Thank you for responding anyway 🙏
ok
I landed at the airport a week ago, I was told by the bank they no longer give out cards (not sure if that means they don't give them out to foreigners or anyone or just at that branch). They simply told me to use my visa on public transport so this is what I've been doing for the last week.
I just arrived and I was completely lost I searched on TH-cam how to get to city center from the airport and found ur video, super helpful thank you 🙌🏻😀
Thank you. That's nice to hear that the video turned out helpful! Have a nice stay in Georgia 🙂

Sometimes you might have to wait little in front of Departure gate, because bus is not always readily available.
Have patience ,soon another bus will be there and you can avoid unnecessary taxi.
Great video!😊

@@rainbowholidaysmart Thank you for the comment
From where you expect the feedback/reply to get?
thank you for the public transport info video, desired to visit in snowy times there (February better?). but AUH wizzair to Kutaisi only that time
Have a great time in West Georgia that is amazing directon to explore.
February comparatively is milder month for the snow experience.
@@tbilisilocalguide-Teona which month or date range you will prefer for Snowy experience in Kutaisi or Tbilisi itself?
@@SafeerSefi From December till the end of March there is snow season at Georgian ski resorts In case you avoid harsh and coldest times better to focus on February. (Kutaisi isn't the area for snow activities. You can focus on Tbilisi for the trip and combine Gudauri from there) Hope that looks helpful :)
I thank you very much for your clear suggestions. I'm thinking about my last trip and i'm choosing where. If i'll choose Tbilisi, be sure i' ll contact you (your agency). When I was young I traveled a good part of the world alone, but now i need a guide.
Thank you for your comment and kind support. It’s always my pleasure to assist and guide for memorable tours in Georgia

Teona ,can you please give us the operation timming of the airport bus to old city ,please
Thank you for the comment. Airport bus timings are showing in this video
Do you know what eSIM is good for Bolt in Tbilisi?
Thank you for the comment. Try MAGTI

Thank you for the comment and helpful information. Alternative of the card is using any international chipped visa/Mastercard at local public transport
Thank you! Can I use old metro card I have from 3 years ago?
Thank you for the comment. Yes you can!
@@tbilisilocalguide-Teona Thanks!
Great content! Can 2 person use the same card or do we have to buy separately?
Thank you for the feedback.
Not at the same time. Better to purchase cards and use them individually
Can you let me know how we can go to aremnia yerven from Tbilisi I.mean any bus specific bus station for armniaa ?
Thank you for the commend and question. There are minivans next to Avlabari metro station in Tbilisi, they run on certain schedule starting from 9 am.
Very informative and "clean" explanation. I am looking forward to visiting Tbilisi. Two questions though:
- I can't find the correct pronunciation of the city anywhere. "Tbilisi", or "Tbilishi"? I assume that your pronunciation is correct, because you are a host and a local guide.
- is there any meaning in the name of the city?
- the orange bank is used to buy a public transport card, and what is the blue bank for?
- how easy or difficult is it to communicate with the citizens of Tbilisi in English? Is it easier or harder than in Russian?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: What a "colorful" week in Tbilisi! Car drivers extremely arrogant and reckless. They drive as if someone is chasing them all the time and "step over" almost everything in front of them. A large number of ruined properties in the old part of the city.
The people cats and dogs are very friendly, the food is excellent, the Sakartvelo language and Mkhedruli script are interesting and unusual to say the least, public transport is extremely reliable. Lots of cultural monuments and similar contents.
Hi and thanks for the comment and support!
Tbilisi - is translated in Georgian as warm city due to hot springs underground and you can visit sulphur bath area for this traditional, local experience.
Blue bank is regular bank just not providing transport cards as orange one.
The young generation speak English in Georgia also the place names are also in English so enjoy with your stay here! 🙂
That’s a really good short video! How much would a guide for a day cost in Tblisi? How many days would I need to see the city? Thanks
Please reach me via WhatsApp and mention your dates of travel :+995595086678
Will be glad to assist in sightseeing planning
I wish I saw your video before I went, we had to pay 70 Lari to the Taxi company at the Airport!!
Thank you for the comment. You can keep in mind this information for future trip in Georgia!
Teona, if the exchange rate is set by the Bank of Georgia as you said in another video, why not do currency exchange at the airport at the Bank of Georgia branch?
Thank you for the comment. You can consider their option at the airport as well
Hi there thank you but I want to know if one card will be enough to for 4 to 5 group of people and we charge it then punch 4 times for each person or everyone should get their own card?
Thank you for the comment. 1 is enough with ent balance on it
@tbilisilocalguide-Teona thanks for quick reply. As a 1st timer can i easily be able to find bus stops and stations in and out of Tbilisi from different places?
Hey can you help , with the climatic conditions in Georgia around December end and January
Thank you for the comment and feedback. From December till the end of March there is snow at our ski resorts. In Tbilisi rarely snows at some days and climate is rather cold

thank you for your video. it is helpful. I have a question. if you buy package for 1 day for 3 lari, can you use any transport for free for one day?
Yes you can! (Metro, bus, minibus)
Thank you so much for all the help ma’am
But card won’t work in cable car going to Narikala fort
Thank you for the comment. You can use this car for Narikala cable cars as well
@@tbilisilocalguide-Teona no they didn’t accept it
Had to buy metro card for 2 GEL and load 3 Gel per person for 1 way
I did swipe card there and it didn’t work in Narikala fort cable car
Thank you for the comment. Motorman card as well as visa/Mastercard works for cable cars for NARIKALA fortress
Hi , thanks for you’re video ❤ i want to ask if Tbilisi to mestia by train do I need to buy ticket in advance 😊😊thank you❤
Thank you for the comment and question.
You can book train from Tbilisi to Zugdidi and from Zugdidi till mestia you will need minibus.
It would be good if you buy ticket in advance
Good luck 👍
Thank you 🙏🙂
very useful please let me know which hotel is the cheapest in the city center. i will visit next month. thank you
Thank you that's nice to hear!☺️
You can have a look the options (hotels orvairbnb) near freedom square that is walkable till old city area.
I can Use cash for Bus?
Thank you from Thailand.
Payment at the bus can be only via the card (no cash)
Teona, in the video you put coins to load the metro card. Can we also pay using credit card?
Thank you for the comment. Yes, now you can use just any visa or Mastercard directly in public transport
❤
Thanks for your video :) Can I use Visa/Mastercard to pay for the top up of the orange card at the machine (if I don't have cash)? Does the orange bank accept purchase of the card with Visa/Mastercard?
Thanks for the question. Yes, it's possible to use visa/mastercard to purchase the card!
I wish i had seen this video before reaching Tbilisi last month. I got scammed by a taxi driver at the arrival by the name of TOKO. Seems like a nice smiling guy and will offer to help you with exchange counters / SIM cards. He dropped me to old tbilisi near Rike park and charged by 170 GEL .. my entire trip was affected because of this scam and had to cut corners at every possible step. Definately catching the bus next time. Maadloba.
Hi and thanks for the feedback. That's pity to hear that you personally experienced Taxi scamming here... I hope this video will be helpful for the travelers
Hi! Can you buy the travel card somewhere in the city, not at the airport?
Yes, at orange bank offices and at metro stations
Thanks for the sharing！May I know if I arrive the airport at 01:00 AM, is the bus still available？Also if there is any money exchange and data card provider at this time ？
Thank you for the comment and question
While the flight time is already late from the bus schedule, I would advise to use Bolt
Please look through the money exchange video at the channel to get the information and recommendations from there
Hi again, can we use one transportation card 2 people or 1 card can just be used for 1 people? Do we have to buy 2 different card for each other? And how often does bus 337 goes to centre from airport; like every hour; half an hour like this?
Thanks for the comment and question. ! card can be used by 2 persons. (No need for each passengers) The schedule of the bus 337 is given on tabloid, showing next bus arriving time. usually it's abt in every 20-30 minutes interval.
@@tbilisilocalguide-Teonahow long does it takes from AirPort to center buy bus? Like if we use bolt how many minutes; and if we use bus how many minutes, so we can choose one,
Thanks 😊
@@hsenayakbas Thanks for the comment and question. By Bolt its' about 40 minutes ride from Tbilisi airport till the city Center, By Bus it takes abt. 50 minutes
Is the bus number 337 go to the batumi from airport as well... kindly make a new video on this teona

Thank you for your useful information👌🏻 can we pay for two passengers using one card only ?
Thank you for the comment. Yes one card is enough if there is enough balance for 2 there
Hallo, i have a question, until what time that bus operation ? Cause iam arrive at 03.00 am 😢
Thank you for the comment. The airport bus timing and their operation hours are already given in the video
Hi thank you for the video - very informative.
I just wonder if you or someone can answer a few questions?
My flight is very early arriving at 3am at nights
Does the busy start running from 06:59 only?
I am going to train station . My train is at 8am. Do you know how much is a taxi from airport to trains and how long will that take?
Is it possible to pay with debit card for a taxi? I fear that banks will be still closed that early? Is there any food / drink available in the morning in the airport?
Would be great to learn about train station too :) thank you ❤
Thank you for the comment. The airport bus working /operating schedule is given in a video please check carefully.
For this hours I would advice to download and use BOLT to get to the city
Hello, may I know the bus operation during winter is the same ? I believe there’s no changes, right ?
Thank you for the comment. There is No change for timing in seasons
@@tbilisilocalguide-Teona Thanks !
Good day teona! I want to ask how much cash should I bring in georgia for 4 days trip? My flight will be on dec 17-20 this year. 🙏

Please the sound is so highest.
Thank you for the comment and advice
Hello, if we dont want to change our money in AirPort to take a transportation card, I think we can buy with our credit card in bus 337 and go to centre and buying sim card in center is cheaper, right?
Thank you for the comment.
Yes, that’s right!
See you again soon
Thanks for the comment and looking forward to our meeting and touring in Georgia again!
Are taxis available in the morning, for example at 4 a.m. or do i have to book a transfer in advance? I read that bus line 337 runs only from 7 a.m. Thank u for your answer
Thank you for the comment. Taxis are available though I would advise to download Bolt after arrival and use it instead of taxi
Hey , can you help how to book hotels in georgia before coming in the country ?that are affordable and great
Also wanted to know the sim purchase details
Thank you for the comment and question. Hotel location and season recommendation you can find here:

You can take sim at Magti at the airport or offices in the city. They have best coverage and diversity in packages as per your travel duration. the alternative is trying esim with remote activation
Hello Teona, how are you? I'm from Brazil and in september will be my 2nd time in Georgia, lovely country and people. This time i will travel with my wife. Is it possible to pay the ticket direct to the bus driver? Or just with card? Other question (sorry to ask here), in september will be easy to find Marshrutka from Tbilisi to Zugdidi between 3pm and 4pm? Thanks
Thank you for the comment and questions
That’s nice to hear that you plan to revisit Georgia 🇬🇪
You can’t pay with driver directly at airport bus so please use the card instead.
Yes, it will be easy to find Marshutkas till Zugdidi in September
Wish you nice trip and stay in Georgia!
Would you happen to know if bus 337 allows 20kgs luggage inside the bus?
Thank you for the comment. Yes, it allows, there should be any issue with this luggage
@@tbilisilocalguide-Teona thanks for reply
It’s a public city bus so basically anything you can carry on is ok. The driver won’t get involved unless other passengers have a problem with the size or number of bags. Enter from the center door. The passage is a bit narrow at the driver’s entrance.
@@manalikanyakumari thanks for your info. I have used it yesterday, and its fine.
May i know more about the travel card ？It seems like that card you used could only purchase unlimitef usage plans , likr 1 Day, 1 week , 1 month.
May i know if i could add value into it and only use for single journey ？
If yes , Then i dont need to buy another card (the old one) for the days 1 will only take 1 time of metro.
Hi and thank you for the question. Yes It can be used for single journey as well.
@@tbilisilocalguide-Teona thank you so much
If you choose 1 day plan does that mean unlimited rides one day?
Thank you for the comment. Yes, it's unlimited rides as per your chosen package
We are family of 6 and want to take a bus from the airport. Do we need to buy a card for each member of family? And can we pay for 1 trip and not a day? Thank you.
Thank you for the comment. No need many cards for all passengers . One is enough with balance on it. Sure you can pay for 1 single ride in the bus with the card
@@tbilisilocalguide-Teona Thanks. It’s because I saw min 1 day ticket on machine instead of 1 trip. So do l need to validate/beep 6 times with the same card in the bus? And if l pay with Visa do l also need to beep my Visa card 6 times in the bus? Thank you.
Hi , which ATM inTbilisi has the highest withdrawal limit per transaction ? Im using revolut / wise card . TIA
Thanks for the comment. Have a look at Basisbank or Terrabank they should have the highest withdrawal limits
Hi. Thank you for your information. Can I ask you some question? How long it will take from the airport to the central railways by bus 337? Is it possible to arrive at the railways station before 8:25 am since the first bus from the airport starts at 7:00 am? Because I have to catch the train to Zugdidi at 8:25 am.
Yes its possible (the max time from airport till central railway station is 1 hour and 10 min) at this early morning there won't be the traffic time so you can try to catch the first bus
we are 2 person can we use same card ?
Thank you for the comment. Yes, it’s possible to use the same card
Do you offer group tours
Thanks for the comment. I arrange personalized, individual tours
Very informative and thanks for the sharing.
I have 3 questions.
1. What's the difference between the blue card and orange card?
2. If I'm traveling with family. Do I need to purchase 1 card for each person or can I just buy one card and tap for each family member that will be traveling with me?
3. Can I use the orange card for funicular and cable car?
Thanks in advance
Thanks for the feedback and for the questions!
1) both are accaptable for city transportation (blue is new design)
2) the main is to have the enough balance on the card. (this card costs only less than 1,-euro)
3) you can use this card for the access to Narikala fortress in old city though another local card is needed for Tbilisi funicular tram and for park attractions /activities 💳🙂
