I'm Andrew (The Baltic Brit), an outgoing, well-travelled geographer and videomaker based in Lithuania. I work with GoVilnius and I am a certified tour guide and Baltics expert. On this tour you will really get to know and understand Vilnius and Lithuania. I aim to create a stand-out experience for you, so that you leave with good cheer, new understanding, and stories to share with the folks back home.

The tour is suitable for all ages and I can cater the content for families, adventurers, friend groups, stag/bachlorette parties, and work trips.
