We had a lovely visit with Marija. She is a very knowledgable guide and knows a lot about the history of the rules of the country. It's a very charming town and the castle offers a nice view. Having a complete explanation about all the displays inside the castle becomes a little boring at the end and we would've loved to have more time in Trakai. We were lucky to see the locals getting ready to celebrate the Summer Solstice.

This was the best private tour I have ever been on. My guide, Agnes, was fantastic. Knowledgeable, helpful, and she wove the different parts of the tour together like a complex, but interconnected story. She really has done a great deal of background investigation and she brought her own book with her to find even further details. Really enjoyed the tour and deeply appreciated Agnes’s expertise.

This was a 5 star tour. Marija the guide was great, outgoing and very knowledgeable. She’s led tours for Prime Ministers and a couple from Houston. Also recommended a place for a great local lunch.

Although it was not on the itinerary, he was so kind that he brought us to Sugihara‘s House. We didn’t have an international license and our stay in Lithuania was short so going to the four different places in one day helped us a lot. 1日に4箇所も行けて、日本語であまり紹介されていない箇所(ポナリの森等)が旅程に入っているのがとても魅力的でした。また、日本人だからということで杉原千畝記念館にも寄ってくださいました。(その分他の場所が少し短めになります) リトアニアの滞在期間が短いけれどできるだけ色々な場所に行きたいという方におすすめです。

Awesome tour, on time, tour guide very friendly and knowledgeable, very accommodating and not rushed, and locations a must see.

Bus tour around the old city. Very pleasant and we learnt a lot about the city. 45 minutes to cover all the main places of interest. We enjoyed it.

We paid for a van for our party of 3. Instead, we all had to cram in the back of a regular car for the long ride, while our guide had plenty of room up front with the driver. Our tour guide was not great with English. He could not answer the actual questions we asked, but instead would change the subject to some script he had memorized. In addition, he attempted to tell jokes which were racist and we did not find funny. When I contacted the vendor I got no response. I feel that I didn't get what we paid for.

Nice place, beautiful castle. It is very easy to approach it by car. Nice little village Trakai around the castle, with old houses

The whole experience was different and our host was really friendly! We will remember the day for a long time, it showed us the beauty of Lithuania

This is a long day out from Vilnius. My guide was late and got lost a few times. The Hill of Crosses is amazing, do take time to walk to the top and/or along some of the twisty, windy, paths. They sell crosses at booths near the entrance, but I had brought one from home.Think about how you will attach the cross, some nylon fishing line, wire, or small chain could work. Take a photo of it inlace and if possible also pose it next to some larger or more distinguishable items. At my request we skipped the town of Siauliai and returned directly to Vilnius.

With less than a week in the country and unable to travel to the areas where my ancestors lived, this was a great alternative. My guide spoke excellent English, he made sure I got to see the parts of the Rumsiskes open air museum that were pertinent to my family, even inquiring at the office if there were any publications about these regions. He picked me up at the back entrance so I wouldn't have to retrace my steps. We then headed to Kaunas where I saw the castle ruins, town hall plaza, a burgher's house, and several churches. We had lunch at an outdoor cafe-very reasonable. As it was a Monday and the monastery wasn't open and really wasn't on my must see list, we skipped it, instead stopping at Akopolis Mall at a basketball store where I made a purchase.

We had wanted to visit the Hill of crosses so we asked hotel concierge to help us book an excursion. They booked for us a private audio guided day trip with vilnius city tour and it was a fantastic experience worth every penny. Having a comfortable van for the two and a half hour trip to our destination made it all the more easier and in these Covid19 times being just the two of us made us feel so much safer. Info given along the way was clear and interesting. We had all the time to visit, take photos and buy souvenirs then the driver did two stops in Siauliai to visit the Cathedral, take photos in the Christmas decorated square as well as with the Iron Fox near the frozen lake and The Golden Archer. Definitely recommend this company especially as they do offer the option if only two people want to take a particular excursion - naturally price is a bit more than if with a group but very reasonable.

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.

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

You get picked up in Vilnius and driven to Trakai (about 30 mins) in a comfortable mini bus. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. She spoke in English but they also provided audio guides in other languages. You have about 2 -2.5 hours in Trakai. About an hour of that time is taken up with the guided tour of the castle by the same guide as on the mini bus then you have about an hour of free time before the bus takes you back to Vilnius. We went in winter and so did not want to linger outside for long but I can imagine in summer this could feel a bit rushed. Also we brought our own food. There are cafes/restaurants at Trakai but bear in mind that you will not have a huge amount of time to eat before returning back to the mini-bus.
