I throughly enjoyed this food tour. Tada, our guide, was extremely personable, knowledgeable and candid about not just cuisine but the history, culture and the lives of Lithuanians. We traveled a short distance but stopped at a variety of venues and sampled a wide selection of food and beverages. I highly recommend the the tour and its guide!
Things to keep in mind, plan on having small bite size food samples. A healthy amount of history and not it ties to the food. Average amount of walking.
This is up there as one of our favorite food tours we've been on. Petras was so knowledgeable about the history of Vilnius and how it ties into the food that we tasted. And it was so much food! We essentially had a whole meal at one of the tastings (the potatos and fish sandwiches were delicious). From the cheese to the chocolate, and stopping at the little grocery store at the end, it was overall a great experience!
I loved to learn about the tradicional food, although the taste was not wonderful. Our guide, Eva, was very nice and knowledgable. What we missed was how to participante with children.
Great food tour! Really appreciated all the history & personal stories our guide shared and the delicious food. We had a great time, would do it again
This tour was amazing! It was so much fun and tasty food. Our tour guide was so interesting and knowledgeable. 10/10 highly recommend!
Fantastic tour which was not just about food but Lithuanian culture & customs overall. Ieva was a very engaging, knowledgeable & entertaining guide who kept the whole group interested throughout the whole tour. The foods we tasted were also great and gave us a good overview of lithuanian cuisine.
Indre was an excellent tour guide. Truly felt like spending the afternoon with a family friend exploring Old Town Vilnius.
Tadas is a very gentle guide. He tells you about tipical Lithuanian food and his history . During the tour you walk in the old city entering some restaurants and little shops for tasting. Beautiful story about the chocolate factory . Very nice done. I can highly recommend this trip. Thank you Tadas for taking care of this tour. All the best . Jaap and Ditte from the Netherlands
Great tour. Very informative guide. Variety of nibbles to try at four places. Recommend! A few walks between places but not strenuous nor long.
