    The Power of Faith

    Having an opportunity to visit the Homeland of my ancestors was a truly extraordinary experience. Our tour guide, Andrius took the stories of my childhood and turned them into memorable experiences. He brought us to a traditional farmhouse where we had a chance to go inside an see how my family lived. We were at the train station on the anniversary of the deportation of 300,000 Lithuanians to Siberia and experienced school children learning the history of the horror Lithuanians endured. We had an opportunity to see artifacts depicting daily living interpreted by two different artists. We had a spectacular traditional Lithuanian lunch consisting of cepelinai and cold beet soup. Andruis was so well versed in Lithuanian history, culture and charming stories. In particular he shared the stories of survival and deep faith as we arrived at the "Hill of Crosses". I knew the stories of my family's survival... this holy ground demonstrated how a nation and faith filled people could not be destroyed. I am deeply indebted to Andrius for being an engaging storyteller and an integral part of our Lithuanian journey.

    Response from the operator: Dear Alma, It´s so nice to read your detailed and warm words - thank you for doing it! Your review approves that our commitment to offer an unforgettable experience in Lithuania, has succeeded. If you have any planes to visit the Homeland of your ancestors again, do not hesitate to contact us again. best regards!

    Excellent trip with a very knowledgable driver/guide

    We were very pleased with our day trip to Siluva and the Hill of crosses. Our driver/guide Inge provided us with history lessons and very patiently waited for us when we attended mass at the Shrine of Our Lady of Siluva which we did not expect. She also recommended we visit the KGB museum which we also did. Thanks Inge.

    Response from the operator: Hi! Thank you for the wonderful review about our Pilgrim tour! We feel very satisfied that you enjoyed the trip and the tour guide so much! Hope to see you soon to another Discover Lithuania tour! Best regards.

    Private Day Trip to Anyksciai and The Hill of Crosses from Vilnius: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Day Trip to Anyksciai and The Hill of Crosses from Vilnius cost?

    +

    Prices start at $263 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 Trip to Anyksciai and The Hill of Crosses from Vilnius take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Trip to Anyksciai and The Hill of Crosses from Vilnius worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 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 Trip to Anyksciai and The Hill of Crosses from Vilnius?

    +

    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 Trip to Anyksciai and The Hill of Crosses from Vilnius suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Day Trip to Anyksciai and The Hill of Crosses from Vilnius?

    +

    Around 2 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Day Trip to Anyksciai and The Hill of Crosses from Vilnius 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?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Vilnius experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Admission Ticket at Auto Museum Vilnius, Regular walking tour of Soviet Vilnius, Regular walking tour of Jewish 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.

    What is included in Private Day Trip to Anyksciai and The Hill of Crosses from Vilnius?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Private tour; and Driver/guide. Not included: Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
