Very good tour - Interesting tour throughout with a lovely guide Mantas. All at our pace and plenty of time to see what we wanted to see. Highly recommend this tour to get out of the city for a while, then back in for places of interest.

Excellent customized private tour - Our driver/guide Cyrus did a great job customizing our experience for my 84 year-old mother’s limited mobility. His car was clean and comfortable.He shared his local knowledge and made excellent recommendations at each stop. The archaeological site at Kernave was so beautiful. We took a private boat tour for €20 at Trakai, also beautiful, and walked back to the mainland from the castle, which was a good option for us. Back in Vilnius, we walked around Cathedral Square and I climbed the Vilnius University bell tower. We got dropped off at the Museum of Occupation, closed on Mondays and were able to visit for an hour before they closed for the day on Sunday.

Fantastic Tour - Great tour guide. We had already been in Vilnius a few days so had seen some of the sites in Vilnius itself already but he really brought them to life and we were shown things that we would never have known was there and found out some really interesting facts. Had a great day.

Good trip for seeing the highlights in a limited time frame - This was a pretty good tour. The weather was great and the sites weee interesting. The guide provided some general comments about each of the locations and some details about the history-but didn’t overwhelm with facts. When on a very limited timetable for your trip, this is a nice way to see a bit of the highlights around Vilnius. If you have more time in Lithuania, maybe consider exploring on your own

Baltai Tours Did Not Pick Us Up on Time - The operator Baltai Tours totally forgot about us. I know because usually, the tour operators (not Viator) send personal reminders the day before the scheduled tour. I did not receive any reminder from Baltai, just those reminders from Viator.
The promised pick up time in the voucher is 9:00 am. We were at the meeting point Neringa Hotel at 8:45 am. We waited but no one came for us. It is so stressful! At 9:15 am I had to contact them by phone to find out what happened. Then they said that someone would pick us up at 10:15 am, without any apology at all. So we had to wait for one more hour! The tour guide they sent arrived in a car and we were given a private tour. The tour guide apologized for the mix up. It was a good sightseeing tour and the weather was nice. I would have given a higher rating if only we were picked up according to the schedule.
