★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 9 reviews · 1 day · from $530

Vilnius private day trip to Anykščiai and the Hill of Crosses, plus museums and Lithuania's rare treetop walk.

“This is an excellent way to spend a day (re)discovering some of the most authentic Lithuanian sites or introducing them to your foreign guests. Our guide, Andrius, was very friendly and knowledgeable and both the Lithuanians and the non-Lithuanians in our group had a wonderful time. Do keep in mind though that visiting all of the included sites takes more than the 9 hours indicated in the description - 11 hours would be more accurate. So it's a busy day but one that you won't forget for a long time!”

Private 8-hour Jewish heritage day trip from Vilnius to Kaunas: synagogue, ghetto sites, cemeteries, Ninth Fort museum, hotel pickup.

“We really liked the tour guide. She asked questions and adapted to our needs. We were hungry so she started the tour in Vilnius at a Beigel place in the Jewish ghetto so we could eat as she told us the history of the area. She was able to balance the sadder parts of the day with happier stops. She answered so many questions. We took this tour to trace my family heritage in both Vilnius and Kaunas. We were able to go to the Synagogue my family prayed at. We went to the mass grave sight my great aunts are buried in to say prayers for them. This tour…”
