Anna did a great job! She was very informative and enthusiastic! She was very friendly and she loves her work and it shows!
Diane_M, Apr 2025
Ana is a superb guide. She is both knowledgeable and
engaging. We were lucky to have her. Our family was
originally from Vilnius but we had never been before,
and she made the trip meaningful.

Anna was a very well informed and generous guide. She shared so much information with us and was quite exemplary. Highly recommend
David_W, Oct 2023
An excellent overview, in part in a minibus (just for 2 of us!) to some outlying sites and then a comprehensive walking tour of the former Jewish area and the ghettos in the old town. Anna the guide was first class - engaging and informed with very good English. Recommended.

Agnieszka was great! Her presentation was informative, thoughtful, and empathetic. Visiting the cemeteries and hearing the history was thought provoking.
Shari_S, Oct 2022
Very moving and informative tour of a dark time in Jewish and Lithuanian history. Agnes was a fount of knowledge and made it come alive. It was the highlight of our trip.

I have read a lot about the Holocaust, and have visited several museums, but this is the first time that I have visited the site of a ghetto, it was very moving.

Anna was so knowledgeable and so thorough. Her friendly smile and lovely personality was a bonus.!!!
Natalie_B, Jun 2019
We really enjoyed this tour although it probably primarily has appeal to those who already have an interest in Jewish history or have family ties to Vilnius. What we most appreciated is that the guide pointed out spots, landmarks and memorials that we certainly would have either missed or not known what to make of had we not had a guide.
Katherine A, Jun 2016
My guide, Tomas, was very knowledgeable, and showed me so many Jewish sites in Vilnius. Many would have been difficult to get to by public transportation. I feel that I was able to make the most of my short stay in Vilnius during this tour.
Valery G, Oct 2015
We had this tour in Octouber 2015.

STEVEN N, Jul 2014
Excellent. We had a great guide. She took us to the places I requested.
Richard S, Jun 2014
This tour was worth every penny. My guide Justina was extremely intelligent, well-informed and impassioned. We had many fascinating discussions. I learned a great deal from her and was moved by the tour. She couldn't have been better.
