Mindaugas provided a wonderful walking tour of Vilnius. We just landed from a long journey from the U.S. but wanted to take in an early evening walking tour of Vilnius to learn the city’s history and become familiarized with the layout of the city. Mindaugas was great host and guide for our tour. My parents are in their 80s and he did a great job of affording us the opportunity to see a great deal of the city while moving at our pace. Many thanks Mindaugas! Highly recommend!Wonderful Walking Tour of Vilnius

Viktorija was a friendly excellent guide and we would thoroughly recommend her. She was flexible and met us outside our hotel which was perfect. Her knowledge of the history was excellent; she explained it very clearly to us. We managed to see all the key sights in just two hours. An added bonus was the restaurant she recommended where we had a fabulous meal - the best of our whole holiday. Thank you Viktorija!Great introduction to Vilnius

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..
Well done Mindaugas we cant thank you enough.Worth Every Euro

Viktorija presented a sensational 4hr walk around Vilnius, covering the Old Town, Art and Bohemian area, New suburbs and Modern areas. She gave a great overview of the many churches in the city and after visiting four of the most impressive we felt we could distinguish between different architectural styles. We walked through the Republic of Uzupis enjoying coffee and mushroom shaped gingerbread experiencing an old artistic area….full of many stories. We loved having Viktorija as our guide and can highly recommend booking Withlocals and choosing Viktorija .Great knowledge and a fun day out

Viktorija was the best guide that we have ever had anywhere at any time. She was not just educated in the area of cultural history and anthropology, but had an easy conversational explanation of it. She gave us a DEEP understanding of Lithuanian history, an understanding of all of their neighboring countries relationships, the state of politics in Lithuania, as well as social life today. The five hour tour we had flew by. I can’t recommend her higher than a 10, but I would if I could. Well done Viktorija. Thank you. AMAZING

Ugne was an amazing guide for a late afternoon trip through the Old Town in Vilnius. We saw spectacular sights, saw cool things that definitely were not in guidebooks, ate some great food, and shared plenty of laughs. If you really want to experience Old Town, make sure to include a tour with Ugne on your itinerary.Everything you want in a guide and more!

Viktorija was lovely and geared what she showed us to our interests. She took it at the gentle pace we wished for, and yet managed to pack in so much. No question seemed too challenging for her, and her English was so fluent we could go deeper on some topics without worrying she wasn't understanding us. It was a brilliant start to our city break in this beautiful city. Thank you Viktorija!Perfect introduction to Vilnius

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
