Our guide was amazing. She shared a lot of info and the tour was great despite the very cold weather. A must if it’s your first time in the city.

Really good and interesting tour by a great guide. She could be a wonderful history teacher as well. We learned a lot about lithuanian history and even the political situation today - and thereby saw a lot of the city and shared laughter as well :-)

Superb visit with Guildas, the content of the visit is exciting and because he lived the Soviet regime as a child, he was able to share his memories and how he and his family lived.

It was quite cold on the day and there was a lot of standing around. When walking, the guide was quite quick and didn't always wait for the whole group to catch up. She was well informed, although this was mostly from her family's recounting rather than factual knowledge, but it was interesting and informative.

Indre was an excellent guide, who made the whole tour so interesting! Highly recommended for your visit to Vilnius. Many bits of information you wouldn't know just by walking around by yourself.

A wonderful tour with an excellent guide who opened up a new world for me — an experience I believe is essential for better understanding modern Lithuania.

It was a fun, informative tour with lots of interesting information. You'll be in parts of the city that you wouldn't go to very quickly so definitely worth it.
