- I4546RVmichals00Very interestingTadas brought us through Old Town and Užupis and told us a lot of interesting and entertaining stuff about Vilnius, Lithuania and Lithuanians. He balanced well the amount of fun and information.
- Staserachemangiamo00Truly recommendedSarunas was a great tour guide! Our tour ended up lasting more since our group was so passionate about his stories. Truly recommend his tour and I appreciate his passion on history and Lithuania.
- 625MattG00Engaging tourI really enjoyed the Soviet walking tour with Šarunas. He was very engaging, encouraged questions and I learned a lot. Well worth it.
- JJ H00Well worth the cost!!Friendly and knowledgeable Host. Made sure she focused on group. Good information about the history and people of Vilnius and not just buildings.
- marcopK9212MK00Amazing experienceThe guide was amazing, he provided a lot of info and perfectly balanced traumatic stories with funny curiosity, giving the whole tour a perfectly enjoyable experience.
- 868reesam00A terrific tour of the old townLeva was a wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, able to answer all of our many questions, have good suggestions about what to do during our free time and walked at our requested pace.
- MattHM00Fantastic tour of KaunasWe completed this tour last weekend on and cold and wet Saturday. Only one other couple joined in. Our guide, Narmin, was super friendly and knowledgeable and provided the right level of info along our tour with some great recommendations for food and drink. As the group was small it was really personal and like walking around a city with an old friend. Covered quite a distance too which was great, rather than just sticking to the main road, we nipped up and down different streets to see parts of the town we would have definitely missed otherwise 👍👍👍👍
- BatinaHat00Chilled, informative tour of soviet VilniusThe tour overall was excellent. Our guide covered the Russian occupations of Vilnius while taking us to see key locations and Soviet architecture.
- leecW1327XM00Incredible tour!Our guide Ieva was absolutely fantastic and made the 2h free walking guide a humorous, wonderful insight to Lithuania. The way she shared was very much a breath of fresh air and we appreciate that we now know a lot more about Lithuania!
- lauraaN2625XI00A different type of historyTadas was a great guide. Told us about his experiences of growing up in the Soviet era, a very funny guy! It was really interesting to hear about a different type of history that you don’t always learn so much about
- Excursion2290118877700A important tour for the cultural background of the country, unmissable.The views were amazing so many sights I saw which I wouldn't have been able to do so. Had it not been for the tour directing me. It was just two of us in the group so we could ask as many questions. The quide was a lovely well informed local. With a good strong academic knowledge of the subject. And they themselves were very helpful. Made the trip even more memorable. It is a solem journey however. So don't do this on your last day. Do it first. Then do all the beautiful fun things next. This explores the darker past of Vilnius and wider Lithuania. It's made a lasting impression on me.
- 448ferdinands00Fantastic tour of VilniusSharunas is great. Fantastic tour and energetic guide. Very troughout and few opportunities to warm up in a cafe and a local store. 10/10
- helenafruge00Never boringThank you Arminas for an awesome 2 hour walking tour. We loved every second of it. So professional, so much knowledge about the city and the country plus a great sense of humour. Strongly recommend! PS Thank you for mentioning Zeppelins, I had two and really enjoyed. /Helena from Stockholm

If you’re in Vilnius and have any interest in Jewish history/culture I highly recommend this tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and answered all of our questions willingly. Walking through the streets and the Synagogue were both interesting and provided insight into how influential Jewish culture was in Vilnius. This tour focused on a variety of factors, not solely WW2, which was refreshing and intriguing to learn about. Thank you!

Milda is incredible! I enjoyed the Jewish tour and the larger tour of the city with her over two days and it was worth every penny - I feel like I truly understand Vilnius, and was exposed to parts of the city I would not have seen without her expertise. She also gave us wonderful recommendations for places to eat and other sights to see, none of which disapponted. Highly recommend 💖

The tour and guide was exceptional. Firstly he was not Jewish and he hosted a group of 14 comprised of 5 Jews inc me and 9 others including Germans and Lithuanians.
Our guide focused on Jewish life and not only on the Holocaust. He invited healthy discussion from our diverse group of participants.
This young man with such wonderful knowledge builds a fascinating experience of the Jerusalem of the North (Napoleon’s description of Vilna).
The tour went for more than 4 hours, double the advertised time and when it finished we yearned for more.
The Holocaust and post war Lithuania was described in factual detail allowing us to personalize based on our own knowledge and memories.
First class tour, best value, best guide I have ever experienced. You fill my heart with joy.

This tour rates as the 'best' Jewish history tour I've been on (and I've been on many* across Europe). with Lithuanian history in this time period as 'complicated' as it is, Matila (Milda?) provides an excellent* historical context & walked us around the ghetto regions, pointing out intriguing anecdotal info that I would have never* found on my own. She also noted the complexity* of revisiting/recovering history, which for me, as an history buff, I deeply appreciated. We were almost 3 hours -- 5 of us joining in, each of us w/ a different connection to Jewish history. It was well worth the fee & then some. Highly recommended.

I want to thank my knowledgeable tour guide Milda for today's walking tour of the Jewish Quarter of Vilnius. She demonstrated a genuine enthusiasm for the history of Lithuanian Jews, as evidenced by her own extensive interactions and communications with the small Jewish community of Vilnius. What I loved most was that she pointed attention to plaques and monuments which would not be understood without the proper context. An added bonus was that my group was exceptionally small (4 people including myself) so each of us got to her questions which she answered in detail - I even overheard her answering questions posed by a number of Israeli Jews who happened to be visiting the synagogue at the same time as my group. Note that the synagogue entrance is two euros (cash only); kippahs for men are provided at the entrance.

Milda was very knowledgeable and informative. She gave clear explanations of Jewish movement in Europe that brought Jews to Lithuania and why so many came. The complicated history of Lithuania, was done well as well.
Interesting spots were pointed out, stories of the Litvaks. I had heard the word but never realized it meant a Jew.
We had many lively exchanges with our group. Milda had invited us to share, saying she often learned from her clients. It was lovely and warm and I felt appreciated.
I especially enjoyed her last talk in front of the map of Lithuania. Unvarnished, honest assessment of the actions of the Lithuania people towards the Jews. Historically before the Nazis, working with the Nazis, (and helping Jews) and now, when the topic of memorials and museum aide comes before the municipality.
Excellent tour and guide.

I signed up to be part of the guided tour of Jewish Vilnius but nobody else joined. The tour still went ahead and the in-depth knowledge of the tour guide was clear from the beginning. The attention to detail was excellent while covering a wide range of related topics.
I would strongly recommend it. Even if you do not have any interest in the subject before the tour, you will after.

Sarunas gave me a personalized tour as I was the only one who showed up that freezing morning to the Jewish Vilnius Tour. As a jewish and also a descendant of lithuanian jews myself, I thought I knew most of there was to know... well, by the opposite, Sarunas taught me more than I would have thought I had still to learn. He is really interested on the jewish heritage of Vilnius and Lithuania and he knows SO MUCH about it. At the end he asked me if I had any questions I'd like to do to him, and the reality was that I had actually more questions than ever before, because of all the new information he provided me. Amazing tour in an amazing city, with a more amazing guide. Thank you Sarunas!

This guided tour was so interesting. Our guide was lovely and gave us so much information & history about the Jewish quarter. He clearly knew his stuff and it was obvious he had a genuine passion for his subject, which came across so well. He had the ability to immerse you in your surroundings. At the time of the tour the Synagogue was unfortunately closed due to world events but our tour guide still gave us lots of interesting information about it. I would 100% recommend this tour. If you don't book in advance then don't worry they can normally accommodate you on the day. The tour meets on the stairs of the City Hall

I selected Wed 9-2 for a tour and the site displayed Friday. How can I make sure to get Wed? Also, the site says there is an upgrade for a more personal tour; however, there is no place to upgrade.
Thank you, Marlene

Is the price for this tour 10 or 100 Euros? First I see it is 99,85 NOK, but when I check availability the price is suddenly 10 times more. We are going to Vilnius tomorrow for the first time. Would like to do this tour, but not for the last price.
