A very enjoyable walking tour with snacks
merlinreds, Jun 2026
A brilliant 2.5 hrs walking tour with leva, who was extremely knowledgeable with a great sense of humour! The tour gave us a very good overview of Vilnius old town. The snack stop, where we had the opportunity to sample local delicacies, was both tasty and interesting. At the end of the tour leva also gave us some good recommendations as to additional places and restaurants to visit. Would highly recommend a tour with leva.

A great introduction to Lithuanian history, its founding, and Vilnius specifically. The walk itself was well-paced, and I appreciated that the tour didn’t loop back to the starting point — it meant we naturally continued exploring on our way back. Our guide also pointed us toward a few nearby sights to check out after the tour ended, which was a thoughtful touch. The food tasting was a highlight — good new and interesting treats to try. The only thing I’d have loved was a few more stops along the way for additional tastings, but that’s a minor note. Overall, a really enjoyable experience given the time we had. Would recommend!
