    A loooooong day

    Our guide was nice and did a great job explaining things and engaging in pleasant conversation for what was, yes, a long day. I would suggest not doing the canal boat ride (or if you do, find a short ride). Our boat ride was exceedingly long and the lake, though nice, was fairly boring. It was just too long, really. It’s a long 3 hour drive to Augustow to then basically sit in a boat for more hours and then drive back. Nothing against our guide, but there wasn’t enough to do or see to justify the trip.

    Response from the operator: Dear Christopher, Thank you for your review and comments. We would like to mention that Augustov is famous for its unique technically built Canal system and it is worth so much to see it. During your tour there were 2 different canal ride options. One option was 1,5hours boat trip and second option was 3 hours. You picked up longer one. Which included river, 2 different lakes this route is called “Pope John Paul II Route”. Sincerely, Different Lithuania

    Great trip

    The driver was very keen to introduce a lot of local landscapes along the way, so we could get a better understanding of Poland and Lithuania. Although it was raining on that day, it was an unforgettable journey to happen to have local events, a lively market and performances, and free apples. The along-the-route guide introduces we bought fresh forested mushrooms and blueberries.

    Response from the operator: Dear Meiling, Thank you for this great review. For us it was a pleasure to show you the best things. We are very happy that you enjoyed everything. Best wishes, Different Lithuania

    Day Trip To Poland: Extraordinary!

    I visited Lithuania in early April, staying for 8 days in Vilnius. Vilnius is an incredible city, but I wanted to see some of the surrounding area. I took a day trip to Poland and the Augustow Canal. My guide was Marty (Martynas), one of the best trip guides I have ever had. He spoke English very well, was knowledgeable, kind, patient and had incredible stories and anecdotes. He quickly understood what I was interested in and tailored my trip to my particular interests while staying in the basic outline of the tour. We stopped in a small town on the way and were lucky enough to tour a synagogue and yeshiva. The history of this particular site was heartbreaking and enlightening, and Marty was well versed in all the details. The canal was intriguing, we met some locals who I will never forget. On the way back we stopped at an enchanting chapel deep in the woods. The chapel, in particular, honored a visit made by pope John Paul II in 1999. Interesting history. We stopped for a great lunch while in Poland. I recommend this tour wholeheartedly, especially request Marty as your guide. He is smart, knows all the history, but has an engaging personality with a great sense of humor, a must in my book. I love Lithuania and hope to return in the future.

    Response from the operator: Dear Traveller, Thank you so much for the Top review! We are super happy that we made your day. We are waiting impatiently for your return to show more of our beautiful country. Best wishes, DIFFERENT LITHUANIA

    Private Day Tour from Vilnius to Poland (Augustow canal): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vilnius.

    How much does Private Day Tour from Vilnius to Poland (Augustow canal) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $497 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vilnius usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Day Tour from Vilnius to Poland (Augustow canal) take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vilnius is not rushed.

    Is Private Day Tour from Vilnius to Poland (Augustow canal) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vilnius, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Tour from Vilnius to Poland (Augustow canal)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Day Tour from Vilnius to Poland (Augustow canal) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour from Vilnius to Poland (Augustow canal)?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vilnius can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vilnius and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Day Tour from Vilnius to Poland (Augustow canal) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vilnius within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Vilnius?

    +

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Vilnius?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Vilnius?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
