The 20th century contains one of the saddest pages in Lithuanian history. In this tour you will experience the breathtaking Lithuanian spirit for freedom during the difficult and dark times of the Soviet occupation.

In the authentic former KGB prison, you will see the real tools of Soviet oppression, you will hear doors squeaking with pain, you will smell the coldness of torturing hearts.

Be invited to walk in the footsteps of Lithuanian resistance and feel the Lithuanian drive for freedom defended with bare hands and songs against the brutality of the Soviet tanks.

The tour starts in the center of Vilnius. You will see:

• Lukiskes square;

• Lukiškių Prison;

• Lithuanian Parliament (Seimas);

• KGB Museum.

We’ll pause outside the Lukiškių Prison, once a tsarist jail and later a KGB holding site, now a cultural space that still carries the weight of history.

Great tour, was just me and the guide, Domas, who was very friend and really knowledgeable! Some amazing and devastating history that I wasn't aware of. Recommended.
Well worth taking the time to visit

Hidden away in a rather ordinary building. A sobering reminder of how far Lithuania has come in the last 35+ years since occupation. The somewhat cramped rooms, only helped to reinforce how oppressive things must have been here at that time. Would thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Vilnius.
Interesting and definitely an experience to repeat and tell

This walking tour of the KGB Museum and key historical sites in Vilnius was incredibly informative and engaging. Our local guide spoke excellent English and provided detailed, insightful commentary throughout the tour. We learned so much about Lithuania’s complex and often tragic history during the Soviet era, particularly through our visit to the KGB Museum, which was both powerful and moving. The guide’s knowledge and passion for the subject made the experience even more meaningful. It was a well-paced tour, easy to follow on foot, and a great way to better understand the historical and cultural context of Vilnius. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history or looking to go beyond the usual tourist spots.
You can skip the tour and still enjoy the museum

Guide was amazing! The museum was really good!! But you don't really need a tour!!! For comparison, in Riga you have to be on a tour to view the KGB museum. Here the guide just walked into packed rooms and just talked over the background noise (other people). I woulda had a similar experience just showing myself around and reading the signs.
An amazing dimension of europe's history

Very awesome place telling heavy history of jews and lithuanians under nazi and russian rule. The guide was competent but his linguistic ability and spelling/pronounciation could have been clearer. I would have needed even more time to familiarize better in the museum.

Domas was our guide for our tour of the KGB museum. It is a building steeped in history some very sad, it brings the story of what the Lithuanian people have been through to life and lets you explore the so many wrongs of what war brings to a nation. The first part of the tour showed you images of war times including armory, uniforms, photos and then you are taken on a tour of the prison and experience a little of what it was like in those times. Domas is brilliant he is so easy to listen to and just knows so much of his history, we would highly recommend - 5 star from start to finish. Thank you Domas
