Fantastic History Lesson - Great Lithuania history lesson on leaders, religion, architecture, and culture. Our guide was great and definitely enjoyed his job. You can go without a guide everywhere except the actual crypts, but you would miss the stories and facts behind Lithuania.

Impressive tour - Milda was amazing in her knowledge and I really enjoy the chats with her. No one joined the tour except me so it became a private tour! The crypt below the church was impressive and there was so much to learn. Love it!

A good tour - Nice and knowledgeable guide. We got an exciting tour of the crypt, which is not accessible without a guide. Could maybe spend a little more time in the cathedral but overall a good tour that is worth the money.

Too dry for this jet-lagged old couple - We flew into Vilnius (from the U.S) on a Friday morning. After driving around a bit, finding parking and lunch, we were excited to tour the beautiful 'old town' area. Our guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant, but I think we were just too tired for such a historic tour. Not sure if it was the material or how it was presented, but we both looked forward to it ending, which we have never experienced on tours before. A few others in our group also appeared a bit bored. We went on to take other tours sponsored by this group and we enjoyed them very much. So we chalked this experience up to jet-lag.
