“I scheduled this trip for the same day I arrived in Vilnius. My guide was absolutely wonderful!! He showed me around the Paneriai Memorial (which most Trakai tours don't stop at). I learned the sad history of the area before continuing to the medieval Trakei Castle, the former capital of Lithuania. We walked throughout the castle grounds seeing the beautiful reconstruction! It was unique & fun! The area around the castle was just breathtaking! Highly recommend this tour!”

“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…”
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.”

Rumsiskes museum was large, and spread out with interesting gardens and well kept buildings. We stopped for a coffee in the ‘town’, which was much needed. Luckily we remembered to bring insect repellent! Staff were extremely friendly to non-Lithuanian speaking visitors. Our guide was knowledgeable and informative, he answered all our questions (regardless of their relevance). Then we went to Trakai Castle, where we had a quick lunch before the tour of the castle and surrounding views. Finally stopped at Paneriai holocaust…”
