Super nice trip with exciting stories along the way
Best experience of our trip. Our family of 4 did the tour and it was great for everyone from ages 10 to 50. Our guide was awesome and we learned a lot! I would recommend this for anyone coming to Lithuania. I wish we had actually done it earlier in our trip so we had more context for some of the things we visited. It is definitely a must do!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We hope to welcome you back to Lithuania again someday!
Great introduction to Vilnius. I’m mid- 60s and found it very doable. Guide Đom provided lots of information about history and culture.
Thank you for your lovely review! We hope to welcome you back to Vilnius again soon!
Through the tour, we gained a great insight and valuable overview of the most important sights of Vilnius. Very comfortable bikes and an engaged guide made the tour a pleasure despite the rain. We received interesting information about historical and current developments at many fascinating stops.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We hope to see you again!
This tour is a great choice for exploring Vilnius's main attractions, offering stunning views and rich historical facts about the country. Be prepared for some steeper sections on the bike routes, so good biking skills and the ability to keep pace with the group are essential. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information. However, the presentation was somewhat dry and straightforward. Adding some humor and a more relaxed tone could make the tour more engaging.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We hope to welcome you back again!
Good fun, good route, good way to get bearings of the city
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the ride and found it a fun way to get to know the city. Thanks for joining us.
Avitalis runs this bike store which offers bikes for hire and tours. I did a tour and hired an e bike for a few hours. The tour was a fabulous way of seeing Vilnius. Great service, great e bikes and a great tour.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed both the tour and the e-bike rental. Hope to see you again!
Fantastic tour, and great way to see the city. Highly recommend the team, they had great knowledge. They also extended our tour by about 30 minutes to cater for us to have a look around at a couple of locations (which was really appreciated by everyone).
Thank you for the fantastic review!
I had the bike tour with Domas, he was very knowledgeable of the history and current culture and politics of Lithuania. He gave us an excellent overview of the landmarks in Vilnius and his personal stories growing up there with all the political changes over the years. I learned a lot and felt more connected with the mentality of the locals.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! Hope to see you again!
Fantastic experience! Our guide Dominique was excellent, very knowledgeable and helpful, and safely navigated us around the city to cover all of the main sites. There were 3 of us on this tour plus our guide. I especially liked being able to cycle through some of the green spaces in the city too, this was a pleasant surprise that I hadn’t expected but really enjoyed.
Thank you for the fantastic review! We really appreciate your feedback!
