I was lucky to be the only person taking this trip on that day. My Guide Jurata was very friendly, and insightful. We spent time at the Kaunas Rumsiskes, where we visited various old Lithuanian settlements. We also toured the Pazaislis monastry as well as Kaunas Old town and castle. She took time to present the cultural and historical background behind the settlements. That did help in appreciating Lithuanian history as well as Lithuanian society historically and in contemporary times. Personally, it was one of the most insightful tour I have ever experienced. For me it was an amazing experience.

Andres was a wonderful guide and knew a lot about Estonian nature, history and culture to share with us. We saw some beautiful nature sights (the Jägala waterfall was fantastic!) and ate a delicious lunch at a traditional Estonian tavern. You should definitely book this tour to see a variety of fun sights outside of Tallinn!!

My husband and I took a day trip with lovely Kamile to Druskininkai and Grutas Park with several stops along the way including an overlook which was originally thought to be the highest point in Lithuania, about 292 meters. However, according to updated research, the highest point is actually Aukstojas Hill at 293.84 meters where Kamile regaled us with the quest to identify the absolutely highest point in Lithuania. We stopped at Mendininkai Castle, a charming ruin with an array of torture instruments on display, and in the small village for my husband to photograph. On to the quiet spa town of Druskininkai with the dancing fountain, and finally to Grutas Park, home of the exiled statues of Soviet rogues. Kamile made this day so rewarding and delightful with her excellent knowledge of Lithuanian and European history, her excellent English, her informed observations, her thoughtfulness (special treats after lunch), excellent driving skills, and her awareness of what we were interested in, and not, and how she arranged the day to accommodate us. We couldn't have been more satisfied.
