Alternative Tours in Vilnius

Me and my sister did the ghost tour on Halloween and really enjoyed it. Despite the cold, Samuelis did a great job and kept the group entertained with a lot of humor and scary stories. We especially liked the fact that he involved the group members and even passersby. We would definitely recommend the tour as you can see a lot of historic sceneries of Vilnius as well.

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!

Tournwas super with it! The stories were fun and interesting, but not too spooky. A great way to see the city!

You have already seen the most popular places in Vilnius and want to explore the way of living outside the city centre? Then the "Alternative Tour" of Vilnius with Locals is definitely the right thing to do!
The tour starts with a bus drive to the Russian Market, where you can buy almost everything. From smoked and raw meat up to worn out shoes and electronic things. Flowers, fish, clothes and funeral stuff... maybe a little bit bizarr for foreigners, but quite common for locals to buy different things for small money.
After that the guide takes you to Snipiskes. This area gives you an idea how some people live outside the city centre. No tarred roads lead you through this area of small properties with shabby houses. Most of them with no water connections inside the house. Some even burnt-down. Nevertheless you still got some quite modern houses in between.
Another bus drive takes you to the station area. This part of the tour is especially attractive for people, who are interested in arts. Big paintings on house walls from different artists and a big guy in pants ;-) will be on your way. And you will have a short minute at a John Lennon monument.
The tour ends at a market hall. You should go there and have a delicious bagel!

The tour took 2,5 - 3 hours and beside the two bus drives you have to walk quite long, so prepare comfortable shoes ;-)

I really liked the "Alternative Tour"! Thanks a lot to the friendly guides, you made a really good job! And thanks for all the interesting stories during the tour!

It doesn't matter if it's your first time in the city or you've lived here all your life- this tour will surprise, shock or maybe... even entertain you.
Due to the extraordinary talent and the looks of the guide Ieva B., the stories are so well delivered that even if you were always skeptical about ghosts or the old legends- you will start to question your beliefs when you wonder around the dark alleys of this magnificent and mysterious city..
There is no doubt you will get goose bumps and might start to think this guide has a deal with both, the saints and the devil itself, with church bells ringing and street lights blinking on the most terrifying parts of the stories.
However, as she promised in the beginning of the tour- we all returned safe and sound, with the quick and witty answers to the most unexpected questions about the city and recommendations of great places to calm down after the tour.

This was a fabulous way to see Vilnius. Veronika's fascinating tour was amazingly relaxed and informative. She loves to teach and share perspectives -- both about modern Lithuanian society but also about transition from an occupied country to an independent nation. The tour included a stop for traditional Lithuanian food, and she was able to give other great insider tips for the rest of my time in the city. They also rented me a bike for the day following my tour, and gave me suggestions on where to go biking -- and I had a wonderful day biking out into the countryside north of Vilnius. I would recommend this tour enthusiastically.

We did the full tour with Frank and a very nice girl, who was just graduated in history. We saw the old part of Vilnius and the "real" life of Vilnius. The stories we heard were very interesting. The bikes were very good and you don't need to be in a good condition. Plenty stops and a good lunch. Frank takes you to an interesting point of view. Enjoy!

after exploring the Vilnius city for almost 1,5 days, we started the ghost tour with Sam. It was rainy and cold, but with Sam's guide and other guests who joined the group made the walk not that boring. Maybe next time it could be shown some secret locations which are not access to the public. Generally it was great!

A very enjoyable tour of the old Town with a very charismatic Sam as our tour guide. Our group was diverse in age and ethnicity and by seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter I conclude everyone had a good time. I also thought it was an excellent value and the tour office was right in the middle of the old town.

Booked the ghost walk for a Saturday evening as part of our weekend in Vilnius.
Sam, our guide, was informative and funny.
It was good to get some stories about Vilnius and its darker past.
Highly recommended

The guide was great, eloquent and attentive. Just one thing in terms of the route - Kalvariju market could be skipped or less time should be spent there.

Hope this helps.

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.

This was a really fun tour! Sam was really knowledgeable about the history while also being really funny and engaging. Highly recommend this tour!

Very good tour. Interesting, funny and a little bit scary! Really good if you want to see the old town in a different way.

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

Highly recommend Sam, our most entertaining guide!

We had a lovely evening walk with Sam and heard some interesting stories! Thank you!

It was a very fun activity with stories you would normally never hear about

More cases could be a good add.
