Perfect Day 1 Activity in Vilnius - This was a great walking tour to start my stay in Vilnius. Šarūnas was our tour guide, and he provided a wealth of historical knowledge about Vilnius and Lithuania while also tying it into the country today. Admittedly I knew nothing about Lithuania before the tour, but I left feeling far more informed. Questions were encouraged and given in depth answers. I’d definitely recommend this tour!

Recommended introductory tour for Vilnius - Christina was an excellent tour guide for this tour around the old town of Vilnius. She started the tour with a one page history of Vilnius in the wider context of Lithuanian history. That's quite an accomplishment given the complexity of the country's history but it was sufficient to provide the context for the locations that we visited during the tour. Our small group of 5 visited the major sites in the old town and Christina provided clear explanations of each. She was a friendly tour guide who was able to answer just about every question that was posed to her. The tour proceeded at a comfortable pace and took just about 2.5 hours as advertised. This is definitely a good tour to take on your first day in Vilnius.

Kristina is an incredible local guide! - The perfect way to kick start my stay in Lithuania! Kristina is amazing… her passion for her local city and heritage is very obvious. She is incredibly knowledgeable and a wonderful teacher as well. The tour gives you a great lay of the land, you see all the major sights, and you get an idea of anything you want to go back to see in more detail/visit inside on your own later on.
