    Domas was our guide for our tour of the KGB museum. It is a building steeped in history some very sad, it brings the story of what the Lithuanian people have been through to life and lets you explore the so many wrongs of what war brings to a nation. The first part of the tour showed you images of war times including armory, uniforms, photos and then you are taken on a tour of the prison and experience a little of what it was like in those times. Domas is brilliant he is so easy to listen to and just knows so much of his history, we would highly recommend - 5 star from start to finish. Thank you Domas

    Very awesome place telling heavy history of jews and lithuanians under nazi and russian rule. The guide was competent but his linguistic ability and spelling/pronounciation could have been clearer. I would have needed even more time to familiarize better in the museum.
