WHO ARE WE ?

We are a team of friendly, motivated and qualified local tour guides in Vilnius, Lithuania. We all have different stories how we ended up as guides (our team consists of historians, economists, journalists, lawyers, linguists…). What unites is that we all share a passion for travelling, learning new things and meeting people. After having travelled a lot, we want to introduce you to Lithuania the way we would like to discover the country ourselves. We never stop smiling and learning, so we could provide you the best service you could expect. We are not only your Lithuanian guides, we want to be your local friends as well.

WHY DO WE DO IT

In 2009 we started organising Vilnius free tour because we wanted to meet travellers and noticed a lack of regular Vilnius city tours in English. Most of us were students back then and guiding free walking tours in Vilnius was a great way to “travel” without travelling. We started skipping classes at universities as we wanted to do more tours. And so we got addicted to our job! Our team started expanding. It wasn’t only our hobby anymore. We wanted to become real professionals. Of course, COVID-19 pandemic did not help us to keep doing what we loved. After a short break that have shaken the world, we are back on track ready to help you to fall in love with Vilnius. At the moment we are a small group of motivated (outside and/or inside:)) licenced guides.

OUR TOURS

We believe that a great sightseeing tour consists of these ingredients – a knowledgeable guide, a good mixture of history and nowadays life and a friendly atmosphere. We will do our best to provide you a memorable experience. But if you could help us to create the atmosphere by asking us questions (our guides love questions and interaction!), sharing your stories or just smiling during our tours, it would make our day!

If you are looking for things to do in Vilnius, we can offer something for you every day. Check our regular walking tours (Soviet Vilnius, Jewish Vilnius, Alternative Vilnius, Vilnius Old Town & Uzupis tour), join us to sample Lithuanian food on our Vilnius Food Tour. You are Visiting Kaunas? Make sure to join our Kaunas Free Tour. If any of this is not something for you, we would be happy to organise a private city tour in Vilnius. Just contact us and let us know what you are looking for.

As we are a small company of local guides in Vilnius and Kaunas, we really care about our products that we create and we constantly try to improve them. If you have been on our tours and have any helpful feedback, we would be happy to hear from you!

Our guides

Šarūnas

When I was a kid, my grandparents would tell me stories about their lives in the country that went back decades, and captivated my imagination. Perhaps this was a factor that prompted me to start history studies later on in life. After graduating I knew I would love to share this knowledge, so naturally, becoming a tour guide was the best thing to do. It has been three years since I became a Vilnius city guide and so far I’ve had a great time – now I am the one who tells stories to captivate your imagination! You will meet Šarūnas on Vilnius free walking tour (Old Town & Uzupis), Jewish Vilnius Tour and Soviet Vilnius Tour.

Ieva B

'Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.' Yeah, I know it's cheese, but being a tour guide connects two of my favourite activities: exploring Vilnius and sharing stories with people. However, do not be fooled by my flowery dress - half of my jokes will be quite sarcastic or black humoured. You will meet Ieva on Free Alternative Vilnius walking tour, private Vilnius Food tour, Vilnius Free Walking Tour (Old town and Uzupis) and Soviet Vilnius tour.

Milda

I’ve been working as a guide for 3 years and I enjoy it a lot as I still can learn a lot from all of you! I’ve studied religious philosophy and in Vilnius I can show you not only the most amazing places in Vilnius old town, but also teach you about the Lithuanian Jewish history there. F. Nietzsche once said: “If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you” – that is the sentence I always remember and try to keep my mind active in search of the essential answers. I will be pleased to meet you in Vilnius, show you my city and exchange ideas :) You can meet Milda on the Jewish Vilnius tour and Vilnius free walking tour (Old Town & Uzupis).

Raminta

Vilnius is one of the best places in the world! From interesting history to vibrant restaurants and bars or green parks, the city has it all. That’s the simple reason why I became a tour guide. I am happy to have an opportunity to meet travelers from different countries, keep learning, and, most importantly, share the love for my hometown. So, let's explore Vilnius together, and I am sure you will feel the same way! You can meet Raminta on the Old Town and Food tours.

Marge

You will meet Marge on Free Alternative tour and Vilnius Old town and Uzupis tour.

Arminas "Harry Potter"

Interaction, communication, knowledge and sharing. The time pass by so quickly while showing you around in Vilnius old town and alternative parts of it. Guiding is a story telling, its not only the history, right? When I was little I was a fan of a Harry Potter, he knows how to creat some magic. I would like to create some for you, while you are visiting the capital of Lithuania. No tricks. No magic sticks. Just interaction, communication, knowledge and sharing! Hope to meet you soon! You can meet Arminas on the free Alternative Vilnius walking tour and Vilnius free walking tour (Old town & Uzupis).

Tadas

I am a professional hotelier during the midweek and a passionate tour guide on the weekends. I absolutely adore traveling and meeting new people, as well as exploring different cultures and trying national cuisines. Photography helps me to capture those wonderful moments and truly amazing experiences. I spent 1 year in Florida, USA and 7 years in Dublin, Ireland. Even thought it was a brilliant period of my life, I always wished to come back home as I really missed Vilnius-my beloved hometown. To a majority of people it is still unknown and undiscovered city, therefore a pleasure is mine showing around and sharing a rich history and interesting stories about this beautiful Lithuanian capital. You will meet Tadas on Free Old Town & Uzupis tour and Soviet Vilnius tour.

Narmin

I’m a curious web developer, moved to Kaunas 6 years ago. Once I started hearing and reading the stories about Kaunas, I fell in love with the city, and how every corner has a story to tell. I would like to share these stories with you and show you important places you would pass by without noticing. You will meet Narmin on Kaunas Free Tour
