I had Cyrus for both my tours to Vilnius and Kaunas. Cyrus is an exceptional guide - so knowledgeable and respectful about Jewish history in Lithuania during the Holocaust - a complex and sad history - it’s important to never forget what happened here. Cyrus was a wonderful tour guide and these experiences were unforgettable. Cyrus made sure these tours everything I wanted to them to be and more.

Very varied visits that allow you to learn more about Jewish heritage. But one activity (for example, one of the two cemetery visits) should be removed because the program is too dense.
