Insightful Historical Journey to the Hill of Crosses - I might have been the only traveler during this visit—perhaps due to the season—but it felt like a private, high-quality experience. The guide’s knowledge of the Hill of Crosses was exceptional, offering a deep dive into its moving history and significance. They also shared plenty of interesting local stories and extra information that made the trip truly special. A must-do for history lovers visiting Lithuania!

Unforgettable - We went there on a snowy day from Vilnius, fortunately the bad weather kept the buses away, only 3 cars with people respectful of silence. Those who go to this place come out with a very personal impression that you can not 'dismiss with good or bad, listen to each other and let go will be worth' the journey beyond any curiosity'.

Amazingly spiritual place even for non religious/spiritual people! - I highly recommend this tour. It was my favorite tour when I was in Vilnius. The whole trip took 8 hours because it’s a long drive, so be ready for a lot of downtime in a van. Totally worth the experience though! My driver was very friendly and personable.

This visit will stay in my memory for a long time - I was picked up from the bus stop opposite the bell tower on Cathedral Square right on schedule. It's a 3-hour drive to the Hill of Crosses from Vilnius, so our driver broke the journey by taking us to the Musios Misko Park en route. His very informative walk around the park explained the long history of Lithuanian resistance against foreign invaders or occupiers and how the tradition of carving and placing ornate wooden crosses developed. This was a good appetiser for the truly extraordinary Hill of Crosses. We were given an hour to explore it and an hour was necessary - there are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of crosses of all shapes and sizes placed on and around the hill and paths have been placed to weave their way round them. The guide told us the three stories which could explain the origin of the hill, but left it to us to decide which was the most plausible. In late autumn, it was extremely atmospheric and something I would not have missed. The experience will stay with me for a long time. After that we needed lunch and our guide took us to a nearby restaurant and recommended traditional Lithuanian dishes, which were tasty and filling. After that we started the long drive back to Vilnius and were back by 5pm. All in all, fantastic value and a great insight into Lithuanian culture and history.

Our driver was very cool... - Our driver was very cool since he worked in the film industry and I had happened to watch a movie he worked on! It's a long drive, but the countryside is gorgeous and I appreciated seeing what the bulk of Lithuania outside the cities looks like. Saw some wildlife too! The stories of the two locations sites was really moving/inspiring and gave me a deeper appreciation for the Lithuanian weltanschauung.
