Lithuania · HISTORY TOURS IN VILNIUS
Grand Duchy, partitions, two occupations and 1991 — Vilnius carries all of it inside one Old Town. These 7 tours take the long view rather than a single era, with prices, lengths and the sites each one actually enters.
A focused 3-hour Vilnius tour of Jewish life, from the former ghetto streets to the Choral Synagogue and Jewish Cemetery.
“My guide had an extensive knowledge of the tour and was able to integrate other historical events into the tour to enhance it.”
Guided walk through medieval Vilnius highlights, capped by an hour in the Cathedral crypts. Small group, English tour, great value.
“Very interesting talk by Christina, especially about Gediminas tower as well as the Cathdedral crypt. Thank you”
A 6-hour private, car-led tour tracing Vilnius Jewish life from synagogues and ghetto streets to Paneriai memorial sites.
“The guide knew shockingly little about Judaism for someone offering to lead such a tour. Additionally shocking, mid-tour, the guide tried to convince me to switch to a tour of Vilnius' churches - something he was much more interested in. The city's Jewish history is truly vibrant and tragic. This tour was a disappointment.”
A 2-hour private walk through Vilnius Old Town with local legends, UNESCO highlights, and wish-stops, led by Anna for groups up to 5.
“Our guide Anna had interesting stories that you can't find in books or online. The guide was very knowledgeable and in addition to the stories, she told also a lot about the history of the city. The two hour walk in the old town was not too long as there were stops at regular intervals. We recommend it, a great experience.”
Private Vilnius day trip to Ožkų ūkis goat cheese farm for tastings and Kernavė, Lithuania’s ancient hill capital.
“This is one of the best experiences we’ve had while traveling. It’s a short drive outside Vilnius and worth the trip. The goat farm visit is not to be missed, and not solely due to the animals. The background story of the farm is truly unbelievable, as is the variety of cheese dishes to sample.”
A low-cost self-guided walk through Vilnius Old Town with 15 audio stops, legends, churches, and time to explore at your pace.
“Beautiful experience described in a simple way but at the same time giving interesting indications on the historical contextAuto-translated”
Vilnius walking tour connecting medieval Vilnius to the Soviet occupation, then to freedom and EU membership, with an included KGB Museum.
“Mkt kunnig och trevlig guide och ett bra urval sevärdheter och historia. Särskilt KGB-museet var intressant”
