Thank you for a great 2 hour tour. We learnt lots along the way and discovered little gems like Vilnius University and the district of Uzupis which we would not have come across ourselves. Victoria was friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend. Informative and interesting tour

Mindaugas is a gem. Me, my husband and our two sons, 17 and 20 years, had a relaxed and very interesting introduction tour with our Lithuanian guide, Mindaugas. He was very open to our interests and customized our tour in a brilliant way. His city is beautiful and he had a wondrous way to represent it. Very knowledgeable in history and fun to spend time with.
Thank you for a great tour!

Beginning our stay in Vilnius with a personalised tour was the perfect introduction to this lovely city. During two hours we walked much of the Old Town, the small Ghetto area and the Republic of Uzupio with lots of interesting facts plus opportunities to take photos and to ask questions along the way. We’d highly recommend Mindaugas as a guide.Worth every minute

Well where do I start? Mindaugas is the best place of course. A very pleasent, intelligent, knowledgable guide. Great English language skills, very concise in his delivery. His knowledge of the present City and how it has evolved through time from the first settlers. He kept us all engaged throught the 2 hour tour of this wonderful vibrant City.
We were a group of 8 middle aged men from the UK..

My wife and I and another couple were lucky enough to have Viktorija as a tour guide for a sampling of the wonderful food of Vilnius! She showed us a great sampling from around the neighborhoods of Vilnius and our tour ended with a hardy lunch at a popular local restaurant. Viktorija went the extra mile with everything and was really shared her own personal stories which really helped us understand what we were eating and why... Definitely ask for Viktorija as your guide - you won't be disappointed!

I spent nearly three hours walking round Vilnius with the wonderful Viktorija yesterday. Ostensibly a food tour to learn about local foods and traditions while tasting delicious snacks, Viktorija's expert knowledge on culture (part of her University degree) added a further dimension to this interesting and enjoyable tour.Super food tour of Vilnius with Viktorija

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Victorija! She was a joy to be with and her food and historical knowledge was amazing! We sampled many different foods and were pleasantly full at the end. Her lessons in history were wonderful and she answered all of our questions. It was truly a great experience and well worth the price.
At the onset she asked us what local cuisine we had already tried and made sure we didn’t duplicate those.
She is truly a professional and charming guide. Wonderful food guide and historian
