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.

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. You'll have a Top Night! Highly recommend the experience! Thanks again!

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

Having recently watched the Chernobyl series, it was a delight to find out that there was a tour of where it was filmed in Vilnius. We only found out about it by accident, our bike tour guide mentioned it. Luckily, we managed to get booked in on our last day. We were collected from our hotel. The end of the tour is at the KGB museum which is included in the cost. The cost is a little steep but you are collected from your hotel and driven out of the centre of the city. Domas was a great guide and told us personal family stories which all added to the history of Lithuania under soviet rule. I now need to re-watch the series....

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.
