5.00It 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.

5.00Sarunas was an amazing guide - we learnt so much and got to see so many parts of the city, great thing to do on the first day to get some orientation, and to understand where the people of Lithuania are coming from. Highly recommended!
Fascinating walk around former Soviet ruled Vilnius.

5.00The walk is led by a vert knowledgeable leader with direct experience of the subject and a passionate interest. He interacted well with a diverse group which only enhanced an already positive experience. The walk is long and quite tiring.
Amazing guide, incredibly knowledgeable and so interesting, 3 hours “flew” away, thank you for so much you taught me
