Hi, I’m Teona (Teko) — your local Tbilisi tour guide and the heart behind Views Georgia Tours. I’ve been showing travelers around my city since I was 18, and to this day, nothing makes me happier than watching people fall in love with Georgia — the way I see it. I’m a history enthusiast with a slightly bitter sense of humor, and I love telling stories that bring old Tbilisi to life. My goal isn’t just to show you the sights — it’s to help you feel this city: its chaos, warmth, and soul. With me, you’ll wander through cobbled streets, meet locals, taste authentic Georgian flavors, and hear stories that don’t make it into guidebooks. In Georgia, we say “A guest is sent by God” — and I truly believe that. You’re not just a visitor here; you’re my guest, and I’ll make sure you experience the real Georgian hospitality. ✨ Fun fact: I started guiding just for fun at 18, showing my friends around Tbilisi… and somehow, it turned into my full-time passion. 💬 Favorite part of my job: When guests tell me that Georgia felt like home — that’s when I know I did my job right. And if I’m ever not available, don’t worry — one of my amazing colleagues will take great care of you. We all share the same passion for showing the real Georgia. So, if you’re ready to see Tbilisi through a local’s eyes (and enjoy a few sarcastic jokes along the way), I’ll be waiting for you with a smile and a story.
