This tour was extremely very poorly organized and highly unprofessional. For me, the main reason for taking it was visit to a swamp in Dzukija national park. As it happened, my guide/driver has never been there before (according to his own words) and was unable to find it. The only information he had about the location of the boardwalk over the swamp was google map on his phone. So we spent more than an hour driving aimlessly back-and-forth over country roads before we finally hit - but pure luck - the actual location.
While driving to the national park, we were passing through some remote villages and I was impressed by old wooden houses in one of them, so I asked the driver to stop so I could take pictures. He then told me that he could show me a well-preserved ancient village full of old wooden houses. I said that I would like to see that instead of the monastery that was on the original list. So after Dzukija we drove for some 40 minutes to some random modern village with no ancient buildings at all. I was absolutely shocked, and when I asked the driver why he took me there, he provided some confusing explanation how that village had "interesting constitution" (!!??).
By that time it was too late and it was time to go back to Vilnius. All in all, I lost more than half a day of this rather expensive excursion because of him getting lost and then taking me for unspecified reasons to that stupid village that has absolutely no interest of any kind at all. Go figure!
Next time a see a tour organized by Vilnius City Tours, I know what I'll do: AVOID!!!
