ソビエトビリニュスの定期ウォーキングツアー

I was lucky enough to join leva for her Regular Walking Tour of Soviet Vilnius, and had the best, most fascinating historical couple of hours. For such a broad, and potentially poignant, subject, leva was able to tell stories and give facts with great warmth and humour. This made the tour incredibly accessible, and whether you are an expert when it comes to life in the Soviet Union, or know very little about it at all, you would enjoy it and take a lot from it. I think what impressed me most was leva's balance of the timeline of Soviet Lithuanian history, providing great context for everything you saw and heard, with the stories of everyday life and how Soviet rule affected the average person in society. She opened up many alien concepts with some truly relatable stories about very real people- some even of her own friends and family. There really was something for everyone on this tour, which gets across the point that you'll be hearing about people, places, and cultures that aren't that different to us and our own lives. An absolute 10/10 tour and I will definitely be taking it again, when I'm next in Vilnius.

A really excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide. I would recommend it as a great away to learn a little about the city.

Informative, eye opening and sometimes funny tour with Leve. And to think that it all happened within the last 40yrs.

We had an informative tour with a guide who not only understood the significance of the landmarks, but also provided personal perspectives of his parents. His parent had been part of the protests in the 1990’s. It was a group of about 20 people and he packed in a lot of information during the two hour tour.

Knowledgeable and passionate guide

This was the best tour we have ever taken and we travel extensively. Our guide Ivea was amazing sharing heartfelt personal stories and telling the history of the Soviet occupation in a serious but also humorous way. Incredible!

I received some really valuable insights and our guide was really kind. Highly recommend!

An excellent walking tour which gave a summary of the history of Soviet occupation and the experiences of locals during this period of history. This is a must do tour! Our guide was Ieva.

The tour with our guide Sarunas was excellent (and we have already done various tours in cities). We learned a lot about the history of Vilnius and Lithuania. We can only recommend the tour!
