Great tour - Really good and interesting tour by a great guide. She could be a wonderful history teacher as well. We learned a lot about lithuanian history and even the political situation today - and thereby saw a lot of the city and shared laughter as well :-)

One of the best tours of Vilnius - Superb visit with Guildas, the content of the visit is exciting and because he lived the Soviet regime as a child, he was able to share his memories and how he and his family lived.

Fun informative tour! - It was a fun, informative tour with lots of interesting information. You'll be in parts of the city that you wouldn't go to very quickly so definitely worth it.

Good but a lot of standing around, which is cold in winter when we did the tour. - It was quite cold on the day and there was a lot of standing around. When walking, the guide was quite quick and didn't always wait for the whole group to catch up. She was well informed, although this was mostly from her family's recounting rather than factual knowledge, but it was interesting and informative.
