Good tour. The guide was very sweet and provided simple and straight forward information. She showed pride and emotion when talking about Lithuania. I was not expecting the tour to cover so much area, so bring comfy shoes.

Ugne was very knowledgeable and kind guru. She had many stories to tell as she is native Lithuanian.We have been over surprised about places she guided us. We could never get there by our own. Vilnius has lots to offer and I recommend to get any walking tour to all visitors of this incredible city. Thank you Ugne. Greetings from Norway.
