Reviews
We definitely enjoyed our...Andrew_H
We definitely enjoyed our bike tour around Vilnius with Bike Baltic Velotakas. Our friendly guide took us to a variety of locations and spoke to us about the culture and the history of this fascinating city. We were there during the winter, so there was some snow on the ground. The bicycles which were selected had suitable tread for these conditions. The tour also included time to stop for food and refreshments at one of the lovely Vilnius restaurants. We definitely recommend this company to anybody fortunate enough to visit Vilnius who also enjoys cycling.
Very informative tour taking in a large part of the city. Certainly one to do to help oriantate yourself
Very pleasurable and informative. Perfect introduction to the city.David B
Lina (hope I got that right) was very kind and knowledgeable. She took us on a very informative and varied tour of the city. Perfect basis for us to further explore on our own. She is a proud representative of the Lithuanian people with a positive inspirational spirit. Highly recommended 👍
Superb Tour of Vilnius!J877Xstevev
We had an amazing 2.5 hour private bike tour around Vilnius with Dominickas-- it was super! Amazing how much you can cover in this time period - we saw all of the important historical and cultural places, and learned so much about the history of Lithuania, both centuries old, and modern history. Dominickas was a delight, and was clearly passionate about his home country, and shared so much knowledge with us.

Dominic shared the history of Vilnius and brought us to many fascinating places around the city. He was very patient with us and answered all of our questions. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see much of the old town and modern areas of Vilnius.
Vilnius Overviewbrendanard
Domas gave us a great overview of Vilnius. The bikes were in good condition, the route fairly easy, and his comments were extremely informative. He covered centuries of history as well as the Soviet era and the more recent independence. I can‘t think of a better way to get to know the city.
A great way to see Vilnius. Jacqueline_S
Bicycling is a great way to explore Vilnius! I appreciated the inclusion of Jewish history within the story of the city.
On thing (and I think this was Viator and not the tour guide) there was some confusion with the time of our trip. I thought I signed up for a trip at 10 am, but when the ticket came from Viator it said 2 pm. I thought I must have made a mistake and rearranged other appointments in the day so we could be there at 2. Then the tour guide phoned us at 10. Where were we? So he also had us on the list for 10 and the ticket was mistaken. Thankfully we went at 2 and had a very nice time, but the error did cause me some stress.
There was another error with a different Viator trip in Vilnius - this one the fault of the tour guide, but I am wondering if there might be some other logistical problem going on with Viator in Vilnius.

Domas is a great guide. Kept a steady and easy bike pace throughout the city. He provided a great history lesson of Vilnius and Lietuva. I highly recommend this tour and guide.
Fantastic trip. Great guide. Nice and safe mainly on bike lanes - got to see lots of sights and also lots of information.
Migla was very professional and took us to beautiful places in Vilnius that I don’t think we would fond by ourselves. Great way to get to know the city. The kids loved it!

Fantastic tourHanne-Marit V H
Apr 16, 2018, 12:53:15 PM The trip was easy, trough beautiful park areas and in the city. The guide took us to small lokal places we never would have found by ourselves, and she also have a lot of knowledge abouth the citys history. We almost felt that we vere a part of it! The guide has also taken part of the liberation in 1990, and listening to her experience was very interesting. We will absolutely recommend this trip.
Get the best overview by bikecharlotteq294
It is recommended to start the first day of your holiday with this bike ride. The best way to get an overview of the city, what is located where, get a feel for the geography, topography and city center. The guide was great at providing information and getting around different parts of the city.
