Best Tour of Jewish Vilnius - This was the best private tour I have ever been on. My guide, Agnes, was fantastic. Knowledgeable, helpful, and she wove the different parts of the tour together like a complex, but interconnected story. She really has done a great deal of background investigation and she brought her own book with her to find even further details. Really enjoyed the tour and deeply appreciated Agnes’s expertise.

Great Value Tour - An excellent overview, in part in a minibus (just for 2 of us!) to some outlying sites and then a comprehensive walking tour of the former Jewish area and the ghettos in the old town. Anna the guide was first class - engaging and informed with very good English. Recommended.

Absolutely Worth It - Very moving and informative tour of a dark time in Jewish and Lithuanian history. Agnes was a fount of knowledge and made it come alive. It was the highlight of our trip.

A worthwhile visit - I have read a lot about the Holocaust, and have visited several museums, but this is the first time that I have visited the site of a ghetto, it was very moving.

Educational tour through the Old Town with a focus on Jewish life - Our tour guide was Agnes and she was absolutely fabulous! We learned an incredible amount regarding the complicated history of the Jews in the Vilna District, including through WW2. My sister and I had an interest in Vilna in the 19th century, because our great grandparents left in the 1880s, and Agnes was able to provide much perspective on what had happened before and after our ancestors lived there. She was able to answer our questions and we learned a lot. Agnes covered the period basically from the 1400s to today!

Enjoyable and informative tour - We really enjoyed this tour although it probably primarily has appeal to those who already have an interest in Jewish history or have family ties to Vilnius. What we most appreciated is that the guide pointed out spots, landmarks and memorials that we certainly would have either missed or not known what to make of had we not had a guide.
