Very interesting and informative tour that gives a timeline of events throughout the centuries on the history of Kaunas and Lithuania and Eastern Europe more broadly. Karolis was my tour guide - he was friendly and engaging. Would recommend for sure.
There are times the fort is not opened. But the guide did walk us through the town and down by the river and showed us the church and the Thunder house
It is a beautiful city, very clean and tidy. There are very well maintained gardens. The inhabitants are quiet, kind and helpful. Interesting the old town which is kept as a jewel.
Very informative tour, we learnt lots and all our questions were answered. We saw all the sights, the tour guide was excellent.
Karolis is an expert guide, who has a lot of knowledge to share about the old town of Kaunas, and Lithuania in general! We didn't visit the museum as it was closed, but Karolis was able to impart important details pertaining to its historical significance. If you want an in-depth exploration of the old town's history, I'd highly recommend Karolis for his professionalism. Thank you!
Very good guide who was fluent in English. Small old town but saw many churches and the river where he told us about a past flood and the history of the "longest" bridge in the world.
My guide, Karolis, was very informative and definitely helped to explain the history and sites in Kaunas much better than the rather haphazard displays in the town hall museum that I had visited one day earlier. The tour proceeded at a comfortable pace and covered the main locations in the old town area. I would definitely recommend this tour as an introduction to the old town of Kaunas.
Great train journey from Villnius through local villages. The fort and park area by the confluence of 2 rivers. Lots of statues/sculptures in town. Good choice of cafes and restaurants.
Nice atmosphere with amazing shops for food and drink. Nice technique on the buildings. Historical tour. Young people, students and locals are enjoying their time
The guide, Karolis, was very knowledgeable and provided a good tour with a lot of information about the old time especially the churches.
