When I saw this trip listed, I knew i had to go! The Hill of Crosses is weird & unique & wonderful! My guide, Andrius, was excellent!! I learned so much about the history of Lithuania & culture along the journey & enjoyed some authentic Lithuanian food (Cepelinai)!! It's worth the trip & if you want to go to the Shrine of our Lady of Siluva where Mary appeared years ago (a Catholic Pilgrimage site) instead, ask in advance because I was able to go there in place of Anyksciai & also visit the Tytuvenai Monastery and the Lyduvenu Dubysa Railway Bridge (longest railway in Lithuania)! Discover Lithuania is the absolute best & you're missing out if you don't use them on your travels!!!

This is an excellent way to spend a day (re)discovering some of the most authentic Lithuanian sites or introducing them to your foreign guests. Our guide, Andrius, was very friendly and knowledgeable and both the Lithuanians and the non-Lithuanians in our group had a wonderful time. Do keep in mind though that visiting all of the included sites takes more than the 9 hours indicated in the description - 11 hours would be more accurate. So it's a busy day but one that you won't forget for a long time!

Full description

Discover Anykščiai town! This day tour starts with a pick-up from your centrally-located Vilnius hotel.  Firstly, visit the highest Lithuanian Church. Explore the Domantai Hill Fortress, which is covered with more than 200,000 crosses, crucifixes, effigies, statues of saints and patriots. Then gain insight into Lithuania's engineering history on the narrow-gauge railway.  Afterwards, go to the Ethnographic Horse Museum and discover traditional crafts. The tour continues with a visit to the famous "devil" stone of Lithuania - Puntukas. Last but not least is an exclusive treetop walking path - the only one to be found in the Baltic countries and even in the Eastern Europe. The path curves 300m through treetops, leading to a 35m high viewing tower, from which you can look over the fabled Anykščai woods, admire bend of Šventoji river and take a walk through the tree canopy.

I highly recommend this tour- if possible, ask for Adam as a guide. He is extremely friendly and smart, answered all of our questions. We learned so much from him. Honestly, this was one of the best private tours experience we had. Hill of Crosses and Anykščiai were beautiful and inspiring. I am so happy that I chose this tour. Thank you so much for the wonderful day, Adam.
