My husband and I loved this tour from Domas. It was personalized to what we were interested in (answered all our questions) such as Soviet history and Chernobyl filming. We visited unique spots that only this tour would take you. Not only did we learn from this tour, we took incredible photos that became our favorite memory from our trip! After the site touring, Domas took us to the KGB museum where he gave insight on information we would’ve not known and gave us free time after to explore. Highly recommend for your visit to Vilnius!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you and your husband had such a meaningful experience with Domas. Your recommendation means a lot to us — wishing you many more great adventures ahead!
Amazing tour! The guide was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. You just cannot beat learning from a true local. Seeing the filming locations and learning about Lithuanian society was unforgettable!
Thank You!
Having recently watched the Chernobyl series, it was a delight to find out that there was a tour of where it was filmed in Vilnius. We only found out about it by accident, our bike tour guide mentioned it. Luckily, we managed to get booked in on our last day. We were collected from our hotel. The end of the tour is at the KGB museum which is included in the cost. The cost is a little steep but you are collected from your hotel and driven out of the centre of the city. Domas was a great guide and told us personal family stories which all added to the history of Lithuania under soviet rule. I now need to re-watch the series....

Domas came and picked us up from the hotel. His English is excellent. Not only did we get to see all the places that featured in Chernobyl the series, he told us about life under Soviet Regime. It was very interesting. He left us at the KGB museum which was on our to do list anyway.

If you are at all into Chernobyl (watch the new series first!) or Soviet-era Villus, check out this tour! It was something different and very fascinating. Definitely worth doing!
Dear Daniella, We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed our tour! Hope to see you in Vilnius again!
Had an interesting tour across the Soviet areas and the filming spots of the "Chernobyl" series in Vilnius with a great guide. Definitely different, but a great way to get to know the city. Would recommend!
Thank you very much, hope to meet you on other tours in Vilnius soon!
