I highly recommend this tour. If you have to get from Riga to Vilnius anyway, you might as well see all the interesting sights along the way and learn something about each of these countries. The guide was quite knowledgeable, the stops were exactly what I would have wanted to see and would have taken day trips from Riga or Vilnius to see. The van was comfortable and the lunch stop was quite pleasant. It did make for a very long day, however, and I found that I had to take the next day off from sightseeing in order to rest up after 11 hours of touring and 15,635 steps (and I didn't walk as much as some).

The one-way tour from Vilnius to Riga was a lot of fun. Our guide/driver Beatrice greeted us warmly and promptly at the appointed pick-up place in the morning. There were four other travellers from three other countries that also added to the trip. The weather was horrible but Beatrice keep the mood light and positive by sharing information and stories to put things in context. She was very open and willing to answer all questions. I chose this tour as it allowed to see various sites not accessible without a car. It was worth it.

To top the trip off Beatrice kindly dropped everyone at the specific location they were staying at in Riga. That is an extra I was extremely thankful for.

Enjoyed the tour seeing aspects of Vilnius we would never had seen had we been walking around ourselves with a map.

Our guide had a wonderful personality and threw in just enough history without making it boring.

We were 5 friends expending 3 days of holidays in Vilnius. We tried to make the most of every day there, and we didn't regret going to this tour!
We had lots of fun and discovered really interesting things about the people, buildings and history of Vilnius.

So our advice will be... Come on! You won't regret it!

We had a great trip between Vilnius and Riga in March. The tour guide was so much fun and had some fascinating personal stories that I will never forget. Highly recommend this tour.

My partner and I had one week in Lithuania and Latvia and while I was planning on our trip, I came across a tour which allowed tourists to see some of the sites between Riga and Vilnius. I immediately booked it... It was affordable, less of a hassle than renting a car and interesting. It was a small tour that day as it was the start of the season and it didn't even feel like a tour! We learned a lot that day and we were able to ask lots of questions. Highly recommended! The next time we're in the Baltics, we would definitely consider the Riga-Tallinn trip.

We had a really enjoyable & interesting tour of Jewish Vilnius seeing things we would never have seen had we tried to do it on our own. Our guide, Rita, was friendly, informative and helpful. It was one of the highlights of our visit to Vilnius.

Guide MIlda guided us during Jewish Vilnius Tour.
A Lot of interesting information, during a 2 hours walk.

the tour guide was informative and friendly, van was comfortable and the places that we went visted were well picked. Thanks

This is quite a long tour, but well worth it. (Don't worry, there's a break for coffee). The guide is very interesting to listen to, it's not just the regular repeating of facts. We learned a lot from this tour. Fantastic stories!

Excellent! Our guide Sam did a very good hon, he is a good storyteller. We really enjoyed the ghost tour

We spent a weekend in Vilnius and this guided tour with our guide Milda was a superb way to find out what interesting and exciting is there to be found in this wonderful city. Thank you Milda and lkkealocalguide for this opportunity, it really made our weekend in Vilnius a perfect and relaxing little holiday.

I did this food tour my 2nd day in Vilnius, and was extremely pleased with the tour. I've done a lot of food tours, and while they are never bad, some are certainly better than others, and this was one I will remember.

We had a lot of delicious and interesting food. Much of the food would not be things I would have ordered on my own, and I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did.

The tour started with little tastes of interesting local and historical things with stories of why these foods came to be popular or associated with Lithuania.

We had cold beet soup with potatoes (which I thought would be OK, but was actually amazing)

We had the zeppelin shaped potato dumpling filled with meat and topped with sour cream and learned how it came to be the national dish

Tried some local beer and fried bread

Finally, some Dione (local brand) of ice cream that had shredded cheese (which is also a local delicacy).

Honestly, none of this food sounds very good, but it was so delicious and interesting! Super glad I came on this tour, and I highly recommend it! Great introduction to Lithuania and Vilnius.

We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with Ieva, who collected us promptly from our hotel reception as arranged. Ieva is enthusiastic about Vilnius, and delightful company. She took us to places we would never have found, and introduced us to food we would never have tried otherwise. The small organic grocery shop where we started with traditional ‘nibbles’ was unidentifiable from the outside. We also tried a boletus soup in dark rye bread bowl which was delicious, zeppelins and then walked to the newer part of the city to Dzugas to try cheese in a variety of ways -as hard cheese, in icecream, cheesecake, and cheese bars covered in chocolate.
Walking between the various places gave us time to digest the food, and sitting with Ieva at each place was a delight as she shared stories of her family traditions.

It really nicely surprised me and my friend! Our guide Arminas told many interesting facts and everything with a dose of humor. He combined many topics, such as historical, political, statistical, funny and ironic ones - and everything mixed with his own perspective and appropriate attitude. Those few hours were just fantastic, and we saw some places, even not every local knows. Arminas's english is very fluent, and he is very kind and interesting person - you can discuss about everything with him!
You definitely should try this walk!

We highly recommend the Haunted Vilnius Ghost Tour. It was great fun with our guide Sam who told us many interesting scary stories which happened in Vilnius.

Leva gave thoughtful and personal insights into life in Vilnius during the Soviet era. We came away with understanding and appreciate we could not have gained through guidebooks. We highly recommend this tour.
