One of the major landmarks in Lithuania, Trakai Castle, needs no introduction. Built in the 14th century, the castle used to serve as the residence for the Grand dukes of Lithuania. Nothing can compete with the breathtaking views of this tour, moreover, there is so much history to discover! The former capital with all the ancient castles is surrounded by five lakes and dozens of islands where you can relax and enjoy snacks from our gourmet picnic basket. A truly exquisite experience for those who enjoy being outdoors and never stop learning.

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.

We loved our dinner evening with Ruta and her husband! The food was simply delicious and so beautifully presented. From appetizer to dessert, Ruta served a sumptuous meal. It was a privilege to visit in Ruta's home with sweeping high windows overlooking the gardens. This evening will long be remembered as being special! I highly recommend this to others.

It was the best choice to come from Vilnius to Riga with visiting all great point between cities. We saw frightful Hill of Crosses and amazing Rundale Palace Museum. I guess we wouldn't have visited these countrysides places without support. The good bonus for us was interesting Riga trip where we visited main sightpoints and squares. It was really helpful because we stayed in Riga for next 2 days and could plan our routes without advice, based on previous information. Thank you Vadim for our fruitfull tour!

Me and my brother joined the tour just before it started. We're so glad we did! Lovely host, she made it very entertaining and took us to some excellent bars with no more than a 7 minute walk between each one ;-) I also liked the way we were constantly updated on the next move, it's also a really fun way to meet other travellers.

The company offers either a guided trip including castle museum @ 40 euros or an audio trip only @ £20 euros, the castle entrance fee is included on the former and excluded on the latter. We decided on the cheaper version and the recorded commentary was quite audible and reasonable. The castle is well worth seeing, I think it is the most visited place in Lithuania. You can take a boat trip on the lake around the castle for a reasonable 5 euros, it takes about 30 minutes. Comfortable, modern minibus and ran to the advertised times. It leaves from the Cathedral Square with a couple of other pick ups by prior arrangement. The Castle closed to the public on 13 March along with all other museums in Vilnius until further notice due to coronavirus but you can still walk round the outside on the island, hopefully the closure will not be for too long

The trip with Andreas was very good. He was incredibly friendly and graceful and provided excellent guidance in a very difficult part of Lithuanian (human) history. Well worth it.
