I am looking to visit Ponar. Do you have a tour to the place?
September 3rd, 2017 - 18:25
Yes, we do. However, as Ponar (Paneriai) is away from the center, a car is needed to go there. Therefore, the price may be higher than the one for a walking tour. We’ll contact you about the tour so you could write the dates you’d want (also, if you’d want to see only the genocide site or any other Jewish sites in Vilnius as well) and we could offer the prices.
