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.

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!

We were due to do a snow shoe hike but as the weather wasn't on our side we did a normal hike. Tomas is a great tour guide. Really friendly, chatty and knowledgeable. He also took lots of photos of us at nice locations. Highly recommended even without snow. The national park is stunning, as is the castle.

It was one of the best experiences of my life. I was lucky as it was the perfect day. Full moon, with a beautiful sunset. We took the sunset tour and I would recommend the same to everyone else. Kayaking was surreal, with very calm waters. We had a very tasty Apple pie after which we came back while the sun set, and the moon rose. It was truly magical. Tomas was really nice and accomodating, and we didn't have any problems from our pickup from right outside our apartment in old Town, vilnius, till he dropped us back. 10/10 in every way, for sure. And I'm glad I feel I'm better at kayaking now ????????????
