Our guide, Mantas, made our day absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable, engaging and proud to share his Lithuanian heritage. He kept us on schedule to ensure we saw everything he wanted to show, but never made us feel rushed. He was also flexible, allocating extra time in the schedule to activities that really interested us and balancing out the remainder of the time as needed. Mantas was open to our many questions and quick to share details and extra information. We highly recommend this tour and Mantas as the guide!
An excellent day that was well organized and was a great way to tour the spit. Neringa Tours and our guide Alvydas were excellent, and he provided informative information and was very flexible with the day’s schedule.
The tour guide wasn’t as informative about the area or culture as we have had on many other Tours we’ve taken. Much of the time he wasn’t talking at all. We did like his information on Witches Hill.
Thank you for your feedback and for traveling with Neringa Tours. This is one of our newer guides, and we believe he will continue improving with experience. We truly appreciate your comments and are happy you enjoyed the information about Witches Hill.
So worth the skip the line ferry crossing saving waiting time and maximize the time spent on the Corunia Spit. Arthur was an excellent and enthusiastic tour guide. So friendly and full of stories and local knowledge. He made sure that we enjoyed the tour at our speed and according to our interest.
Fantastic day out on the Curonian Spit! Artur was an awesome guide! He picked us up at our hotel right on time, and we spent the day with him exploring the very scenic and fascinating Curonian Spit. He is very knowledgeable about the area as that is where he was born and raised and still lives there today. He knows all about Lithuanian history. Do not hesitate to book this day tour! Neringa Tours is a family run business and very experienced.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're very happy to hear you enjoyed the day on the Curonian Spit with Artur. Hope to welcome you back someday!
The tour from nine to 15.00 was first class. Artur is from Nidda and has extreme knowledge of Latvia and the spit. His German very good. The ride in VW Bus was very pleasant. I can recommend Neringa Tours!
Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre positive Rückmeldung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Tour gefallen hat und Sie mit Artur sowie unserem Service zufrieden waren.
It is a beautiful place with amazing scenery. And the local food of the smoked fish was fabulous. The guide knew a lot, in a very good mood. Very familiar
Excellent tour in a comfortable car with a very amenable, knowledgeable guide. He was very flexible and accomodating with our time constraints and what we wanted to see. He offered us opportunities to see more than what was offered in the tour. Wonderful, Memorable experience!
Very nice tour. Toller Guide. Nature very multifaceted. We had heard everything from sun to clouds and heavy rain. The little hike to the dunes was great.
Picked up at hotel a few minutes early. Had a full 7+ hours of beautiful sites and great history to go along with it. Arturos is a great guide with information about the spit that it both textbook and from a local’s perspective. He also took the time at the end to recommend further things to see in the area snd around the rest of the Baltics. I highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the tour with Artūras and appreciated both the history and local insights. Wishing you more great adventures in the Baltics!
