About this activity

Get to know Vilnius with a whirlwind, fun tour that takes in the major sights and story of the city: the birth of Vilnius at Cathedral Square, joining the Western world at the Bishops Palace and University, and modern changes through the Old Town and Town Hall. Enjoy a clear and engaging presentation of the city's history, folklore and culture, with insider knowledge and fun facts!

I'm Andrew (The Baltic Brit), an outgoing, well-travelled geographer and videomaker based in Lithuania. I work with GoVilnius and I am a certified tour guide and Baltics expert. On this tour you will really get to know and understand Vilnius and Lithuania. I aim to create a stand-out experience for you, so that you leave with good cheer, new understanding, and stories to share with the folks back home.

The tour is suitable for all ages and I can cater the content for families, adventurers, friend groups, stag/bachlorette parties, and work trips.
