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

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! Your visitors from StockholmMindaugas is a gem

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

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
