We are arriving in Vilnius a day early, May 28, and are looking for a guide to do different touring than Tauck will cover the next day. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    We took this tour 2 years ago and loved it. Vilnius is a good city for walking. On our first afternoon we walked through old town to the Citadel on the hill (you can see it from your hotel). Even the uphill walk is not too bad, and the view from the top is terriffic. On the way back we stopped into many of the churches we saw from the top. Especially enjoyed the Gothic Church (St. Anne's?) and the Byzantine church.

    Our first full day (before the welcome dinner) we toured the Jewish section. Its also a short walk from the hotel in the direction away from the hill. We rang the bell and got a private tour of the Synagogue, saw a beautiful Jewish museum, toured a Holocaust exhibit and tried to find the statue of Frank Zappa.

    Have a great time!
