Great trip to see the castle and gorgeous town, with lovely artisan stalls as well. Would recommend for all.
Thank You for your kind review!
I'm so glad we took this tour. I wanted to see the castle and was intrigued by the history but was a little concerned about public transport because my husband and I are in our sixties. Our guide for this trip was wonderful. He was caring, understanding and knowledgeable. The castle and the lake were gorgeous. The castle was quite small but interesting and we were able to access part of it with a lift. There were no toilets in the castle. We enjoyed a traditional lunch in the nearby village. The village was scenic and the history was fascinating. I would highly recommend this tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Lithuania is now one of my favourite countries.
