Is this tour suitable for children?
Yes, but the stairs at the Pantheon and the uphill walk through Sololaki are easier for children over about seven years old.
Can we skip the Turtle Lake cable car?
Yes, it can be swapped for extra time in Vake Park or the Sololaki courtyards. Mention this when booking.
Do we need to buy funicular or cable car tickets in advance?
No, both are included and arranged by your guide. Operating hours are checked at booking in case of maintenance closures.
Is the lemonade and khachapuri stop a full lunch?
No, it is a short tasting stop, not a sit-down meal. A full lunch can be added on request.
