Ghost tour with Sam - We enjoyed a very entertaining and informative walk through the dark side of Vilnius. Sam made us shiver a few times and did lots of impressive impersonations supported by eye rolling and so on. We spend a great evening and highly recommend the tour! Michaela and Frank from Germany
