Alina, our guide, showed us places that you'd only see with a local.
We were also told about past and present history of the country and the town, visited the top sightseeing places and I specially enjoyed the time spent in the Užupis district.
The tour takes around 2.5 - 3 hours so you really get to see a lot.
100% recommended!
Alina, our guide, was very detailed, enthusiastic and patient with us. She was also really knowledgeable and could answer all our questions. Unlike other walking tours I've been on, she was really interested in sharing the history and stories of Vilnius and it was just so nice.
Totally recommend if you are in the city! X
