👍👍 We went on the free walking tour with Tadas in Vilnius and it was a great experience. We had no knowledge of Lithuania and now we know some very interesting facts about the capital city and the history of Lithuania. The tour was done at good pace and we had time to see a lot of sites. Tadas was real... People often mention tour, Vilnius, guide, great, interesting, recommend, history, city, time, walking,

    A brilliant tour and a must do when visiting Vilnius. We had the wonderful Tadas as our guide who was so friendly and knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about his city and country. The old town is beautiful and has such a variety of architecture and a sad history from the various regimes that have occupied Lithuania. It was very inspiring to hear how the Lithuanian people regained their independence and see the city they have created today. The tour was educational but Tadas also had a great sense of humour and the whole thing was just a great experience, do book on!

    Vilius gave us a great tour of Vilnius. He is very knowledgeable about the area and was not only able to share a lot of interesting historical information with us, but he could answer all the questions people had as well. We saw numerous important sights around Vilnius, including places I would never have known to visit on my own. It makes such a big difference to tour with a guide who knows their city, and Vilius definitely does. I also appreciated that at the end of the tour, Vilius stayed around to answer questions and give advice on where to eat, what to see, etc. Also, it was great that tips at the end could be given by cash or even credit card (I was able to set the amount I wanted and pay with a card reader he has). It was very convenient for me since I rarely carry cash with me. Thank you, Vilius, for the great tour!

    (Translated by Google) Hello I took part in a tour of Namaste in Vilnius! I really liked the presentation of the information by the guide Samuel. Provides very interesting information, wants to listen, attentive, maintains a good mood. More such kind of guides! Thanks to Samuel for a fun tour! (Original) Sveiki, dalyvavau ekskursijoje Namaste Vilniau! labai patiko gido Samuelio informacijos pateikimas. Labai įdomiai pateikia informaciją, norisi klausytis, dėmesingas, palaiko gerą nuotaiką. Daugiau tokių fajnų gidų! D÷kui Samueliui už smagią ekskursiją!

    Excellent ! The private Soviet tour helped us understand, from a personal, local perspective, what life was like in Soviet times, what independence means for Lithuania today, and just how important freedom is. Truly an informative tour. Highly recommended !

    Very informative and entertaining tour by Ieva! Our group had a lot of fun. Even though walking is a little exhausting right now in the unusually hot weather, the 2 hours just flew by. Totally recommended!

    The Soviet Vilnius tour was great. Our guide, Ieva, took us to many spots in the city that we would not have encountered otherwise (particularly on the other side of the river), and we learned a lot about both the history of the Soviet period and its impact on ordinary people's lives. The tour was informative but also very personal, so if you want an overview of that era, but also want to know the reality as it was lived, then the Soviet Vilnius tour is for you.

    The soviet era tour was very informative and great fun. Tadas is a very knowledgable and super friendly guide. The 2.5 hours passed way too quickly. Thanks Tadas!

  • 5/5 Eitan 11 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Very interesting tour on recent history of Lithuania and one the post WWII architecture. Sarunas was a very good guide and provided us plenty of most interesting information.

  • 5/5 Giedre B. 7 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    This is the second time I went on a Vilnius free tour. I like that the guides get to choose the stories they tell and the places we see, because both times I learned something new and different. The first time I thought that the guide focused more on tips on places to go after the tour than the history. It was a shame because the history so rich and interesting! The second time we had Ieva as our guide. Ieva is hilarious, super knowledgeable and managed to keep us engaged for the whole 2.5 hours.

  • 5/5 Abra K. 6 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    very knowledgeable guide, super interesting insights into the Soviet occupation of Vilnius - highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Tim J. 8 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    I did the Soviet walking Tour with Sarunas. It was a very interesting tour about a topic that isn't talked about much in western Europe. Can definitely recommend. Also did the old town and alternative Tour with Ieva. She is indeed a very talented tour guide, who manages to deliver a lot of information with a lot of wit so that the time just flies by.100% worth it.

  • 5/5 Ben P. 4 years ago on Google
    One of my best tours ever

  • 5/5 Christopher S. 4 years ago on Google
    This tour was a fantastic and informative way of learning about Lithuanian culture and history. Vilnius is a fascinating city with a rich cultural history. Jūrate was an excellent guide with a lovely personality and superb grasp of her subject matter. Really great tour with a superlative guide. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone coming to Vilnius.

  • 5/5 Natalia T. 4 years ago on Google
    I was in Vilnius for business and had only one day to get to know the city. So, I found Vilnius Free Tour and it was really interesting. We visited the famous sights, lernt about Lithanian history and got to know few words in Lithuanian language. I really reccommend it.

  • 5/5 Rural R. 4 years ago on Google
    This was awesome. So much history and not just churches and boring stuff. The ambassador of tall ladies was the best guide even gave me food tips. Don’t miss it

  • 5/5 Simona B. 4 years ago on Google
    I definitely recommend for everyone travelling in Lithuania to join at least one walking tour arranged by Vilnius with Locals! Great guides, stories, places...all combine into unforgettable moments

  • 5/5 Maria Camila G. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing, I had one day alone in Vilnius and I've decided to book this tour, the guide was a nice young guy with a lovely name that I cannot remember just pronounce. after the tour I went to the contemporary art museum of Vilnius as the guide recommended us.

    We took the tour twice. The first time it was mediocre, but the second time Unge was the guide, and it was very good.

    I can highly recommend Ghost tour at 19.00. It was very interesting, involving, our guide Eva was really passionate to tell us interesting stories. There were not only adults but kids also. Time passed by very quickly. If you’re staying in Vilnius you should try this tour for sure!

  • 5/5 Zuzana Michalkova �. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a great time with Arminas this Saturday! The tour was fun and our guide kept us excited the whole time, you can see his passion for spreading the good vibes od Vilnius. We also got some nice info about current political affairs which is always great! Highly recommend this tour!

  • 5/5 Alex L. 2 years ago on Google
    Tadas is a great guide, telling so many interesting stories on everyday life in Soviet Lithuania. We enjoyed the tour so much!

  • 5/5 Anna P. 2 years ago on Google
    The tour was amazing. Although, I expected something totaly different, this was fully satysfying. Ieva - tour guide, showed us places that can not be found in guidebooks. She told us the brief history of Country and city but also explained how Lithuaninas live now. She was super nice and she tried to talk with everyone. The group was quite big but people were very nice and quiet. I fully recomend this tours for everyone!

  • 5/5 Karen P. 1 year ago on Google
    The Jewish tour was fascinating, it covered the tragedy of the Holocaust but also covered Jewish life in Vilnius before the war. Our guide was great and let everyone on the tour chat and ask loads of questions which led to interesting discussions. Really enjoyable, thank you!

  • 5/5 Naomi F. 2 years ago on Google
    The soviet tour was very amazing. The guide was so nice, we can feel that she's really passionate. I learned a lot of things, all were very interesting. Don’t hesitate to book a tour with them, it's such a great experience ! 🥰

  • 5/5 Andy H. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mathias T. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great and funny tour. Our guide was genuinely full of knowledge and stories and entertained the group for more that two hours. We've already booked a second tour with the team. Thanks!

  • 5/5 Hurrikan 7. 7 months ago on Google
    Wir hatten eine großartige Tour mit Vilius durch Vilnius. Sehr authentisch und informativ bei gleichzeitig sehr guter Unterhaltung. Auch Einblicke in versteckte Hinterhöfe, die man alleine wohl nicht finden würde und viele Tipps für den weiteren Aufenthalt (Essen, Sehenswürdigkeiten usw.). Absolut empfehlenswert, wenn man Vilnius kennenlernen möchte!

    passionate guides and enjoyed it

  • 5/5 Daniel M. 3 years ago on Google
    I arranged a Hill of Crosses tour with this company and it was a wonderful experience. The guide, Sarunas, was so patient with me and my questions--it was a true learning experience through and through. The company helped me with this tour just as we were emerging from lockdown. Thank you guys!!!

  • 5/5 Lara 3 years ago on Google
    We highly recommend you to take the alternative tour with Sam. He’s a really funny guy and exploring alternative parts of the city with him was great! Sam will teach you a lot about the recent history of Vilnius and even gave us good recommendations on what to do. Thank you again for the great time!

  • 5/5 Katinka H. 3 years ago on Google
    We enjoyed the Society tour. The guide is enthusastic and knows a lot of history, architecture and the daily life in Soviet Lithuania. Apart from that, he's a very nice guy, with a good sense of humour. Very recommended!

  • 5/5 Anibal S. 3 years ago on Google
    I had a fantastic time with Sam as my tour guide! This tour was very well conducted and he had me laughing from beginning to end. If you are considering taking a tour in Vilnius, well consider no more and sign up for Vilnius with Locals as they are the best in town! Thanks again Sam!

  • 5/5 Mare T. 3 years ago on Google
    My friend and I booked the alternative walking tour through the youthful and trendy parts of Vilnius. Our amazing tourguide Sam was very engaging as he told us many interesting stories and brought us to countless hidden gems. His open and humorous kind made the tour a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Everyone who wants to delve into the creative atmosphere that surrounds New Vilnius should not think twice and book this tour (with Sam of course!).

  • 5/5 Daniel C. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent free walking of the old town of Vilnius. Our guide Ieva made our tour really pleasant and enjoyable. Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Radzimir B. 3 years ago on Google
    I was so fortunate to have a tour with them. Both excursions were amazing. I started with Old Town & Uzupis tour guided by Martina. She was well informed, chatty and whole tour was so diverse. Second tour was Alternative tour with Arminas. I truly appreciate that he puts so much effort to contact with local street artists to have a clue of what their art is about. Additionally we talked a lot about Polish and Lithuanian literature. Young guides hats off to your passion, professionalism and what touched me the most - pride of being Lithuanians.

  • 5/5 Liisa R. 3 years ago on Google
    This was a very informative as well ad interesting excursion including lots of detail! Sarunas was also lovely and really well informed. Myself and my teenage son both enjoyed the time and learned a lot. Thank you!

    Hi Guys, I am Sid, was a part of the walking tour today in the old town. I wanted to put in additional note about Ieva who was our guide today!!! The IEVA who had 3 cousins who are all IEVAs....lol I wanted to point out that this was my second or third walking tour (last couple had been in Poland where I work) and this lady is a sheer genius!!! She does make history come alive and does it in such a fun way.... You could actually see the glistening and sparkling of her eyes as she pointed out history of Lithuania and how Vilnius of today was formed. I just want to thank you guys as my wife and I had an amazing time .... This heartfelt thank you comes from both of us... I think you guys are doing a great job !!!! Thank you IEVA and we're in town till Saturday...hope to bump into you soon again!!! Achoo...Sid!!!

  • 5/5 Adriana H. 4 years ago on Google
    This is my shameless plug for Jurate!!! She is a wonderful guide, and she made sure each of us walked away from her tour with a new friend. Afterwards, she even sent a video of what Soviets thought South America looked like. Coming from Miami, it was a hoot! My husband and I have been traveling for almost a year, and Jurate's tour definitely stands out as one of the best! Thanks again for introducing us to Vilnius :)

  • 5/5 Joey C. 3 years ago on Google
    A nice and interesting tour by "Sharon". We now know a lot more about the Soviet history of this city. Everything was very well explained in good English. There was enough room for questions and our guide shared a lot of other tips about the city. We'd definitely recommend it!

    A must in Vilnius! Joined the free walking tours of Vilnius as a first thing to do in the city. A wonderful local guide was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We loved the free tour so much that later we decided to go our the Soviet tour Vilnius tour later as well. This tour company comes highly recommended.
