A Top Choice Bike Tour - I had a wonderful experience with this tour group and would highly recommend them. First, they provide 10 speed bikes and from what I could tell all the bikes are well taken care of. Second, the guide actually took us to places outside the typical tourist stuff. He was a true “local” who was proud of his heritage and enthusiastic about the city of Vilnius. Finally he stuck around after the tour and answered questions and gave recommendations to restaurants and other things to do.

Overall, a... - Overall, a disappointment. The guide was very nice, but did not provide a lot of information during the tour. He would answer questions asked with lots of great information, but it was like you had to pry it out of him. It also seemed a bit rushed. If I had a do over, I would rent a bike and do the tour by myself.

What a boring tour guide, a part from that was ok - The organization and bike were fine, no problem here. However, our guide OMG 😱, totally random guy, no enthusiasm whatsoever, very boring. We went to the main tourist attraction, but didn't get much information about them only one sentence and minutes of silence. Never seen anything like that before. If the guide was better I would recommend it.
