Visite de Jim de Vilnius à Trakai et Colline des Anges
Description
Ce n'est pas une excursion typique d'une journée au château. Joignez-vous à moi pour un voyage à travers l'identité lituanienne superposée - Chevaliers Teutoniques, l'Union polonaise, la domination soviétique, l'obsession du basket-ball et la fierté tranquille d'un pays qui a refusé de disparaître. Mon commentaire est personnel, l'histoire est réelle, et l'itinéraire vous mène à travers les blocs de l'époque soviétique et la vieille ville classée par l'UNESCO avant de partir à Trakai. Je vais jouer de la musique tout au long du voyage, de l'eurovision aux chansons de la forêt au coin du feu, et puis à Trakai il y a du temps libre pour explorer, y compris l'entrée facultative du château (14€ en haute saison) ainsi que le déjeuner avec moi dans un endroit traditionnel classique! Sur le chemin du retour, nous nous arrêterons à la Colline des Anges, un site construit en 2009 consacré à la spiritualité et pour célébrer « l’anniversaire » de la Lituanie. Au plaisir de vous accueillir !

A very nice tour. Jim is a wonderful guide. He is very personable, with many great stories to keep everyone engaged and entertained. The tour was very well paced and never felt rushed. Highly recommend it!
This is a great small group tour with a great guy! Jim is a truely delightful young man, entertaining and knowledgeable. I did this tour the day before I flew out, otherwise I would have signed up for more of his tours! I have no hesitation in recommending Jim’s tours. You’ll have a fantastic day out!
Great trip with Jim and Patricija. Both are super knowledgeable about Vilnius, Trakai, Lithuania and the region as a whole and shared lots of interesting and real stories on our travels. It’s a small group tour (no more than 5-7 people) so it’s easy to ask questions and by the end of the trip, it feels like everyone is friends. You’re given plenty of time to look around Trakai Castle and Jim and Patricija went out of their way to show us other sites close by (The Hill of Angels) as well as key sites in Vilnius on our drive out and back in again. I highly recommend this trip because of the personable nature of the tour leaders and am gutted I’m not in town to do some of their other trips! THANK YOU JIM AND PATRICIJA!
We joined Jim for the trip to Trakai and Hill of Angels, and as a family group over 3 generations, we all enjoyed Jims perpective of history and life in Lithuania.
Unfortunately the weather was really terrible, however the tour was well worth braving the elements. The tour guide was very informative and gave a comprehensive history of Lithuania, from early times, through the Soviet occupation and gaining independence. We started with a tour of Vilnius which gave an insight into the history of the various districts. Trakai Castle was interesting, and although it is not a huge building it has several excellent exhibitions. Be prepared for lot of stairs. The route to the castle takes in 2 wooden footbridges, which give some great opportunities for photos. On the day of our visit we had to endure a monsoon, with the rain coming in sideways! Oh well, the luck of the draw when it comes to weather. We met with the rest of the group and the guide for lunch, which gave us time to interact with the various nationalities - a nice experience. On the way back to Vilnius we stopped at the Hill of Angels for a wander round the various statues. This was quite an experience and of course produced a lot more photos. Overall an excellent tour with a very informative guide. We would definitely do it again, but pray for the preceding weeks weather.
Awesome tour - highly recommended
Great guide & very comfortable drive. Lot of extremely interesting information on history & culture of the country. Highly recommended tour.
The tour was interesting and engaging from start to finish. Jim is an attentive tour guide who took great care of all the participants.
Very good guide, well planned and good organisation. We went to visit castle in Trakai and had linch afterwards. An extra hour in Trakai would have been gold, to vidit churches or just have an icecream by the water… Recommended!
Very enjoyable day, a lot of interesting information conveyed. Jim was very good at adjusting the pace to our needs.
