Great tour guide. We had already been in Vilnius a few days so had seen some of the sites in Vilnius itself already but he really brought them to life and we were shown things that we would never have known was there and found out some really interesting facts. Had a great day.

Charlotte_P

Really excellent tour - Giedrius was friendly, knowledgeable and took me to some great locations off the beaten track. Could not recommend enough!

JOSEPH_W

Our guide was so knowledgeable and went well beyond our expectations of this trip. We've booked through Viator before and this was definitely in the top 1%. THANKS!!!

Michael_T

This was a great tour. Being able to see the three places gave me different perspectives on Lithuania. The guide was incredible and knowledgeable about each location. The lunch was delicious and authentic.

Holly_M

Giedrius was a great guide, very knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. We thoroughly enjoyed the day!

Paul_G

Great, sweeping tour of history with a LOT packed into a single (enjoyable) day! My guide, Giedirus, was a smart, personable companion (he’s also a university teacher, which is always good) who took me off the beaten paths to see the city, the beautiful countryside, and the fairy tale Castle at Trakai. Kernave was a especially interesting addition to this tour because it sets up a missing part of the story that most people don’t see about how Lithuania became a culture during its pagan origins. Great tour!

Philip N

Wow. What a tour. I learned so much about the history of Lithuania and about Lithuania today. Trakai is a must see, and Karnave is quite lovely -- that alone made the trip worthwhile. But what made the trip amazing was all of the information and the contextualization. This was a great trip, and I highly recommend it.

Victoria_R

We really enjoyed our trip. The guide was very knowledgeable. We had enough time to see all the sites included in the trip. There are a lot of points of interests in Vilnius and we got a chance to see almost evrything. All in all it was a wonderful trip, higly recommended!

<p>The tour, and especially the tour guide, Giedrius Cyras, who was so knowledgeable, friendly, realistic. I insisted I have him as my guide on my tour the next day, and he was even better than today. The capitals are all beautiful, and having the chance to see places like this one-on-one with a local person made it all the more interesting and better. He helped me understand my Lithuanian heritage, and the country as it was, and now is.</p>
