ビリニュスからトラカイと天使の丘を巡るジムツアー

I had an amazing time at Trakai castle but our guide really made the trip! The castle is stunning, absolutely beautiful, and the area surrounding it is peaceful and tranquil. You can see why it’s one of the absolute must-dos when you’re visiting Lithuania. It was, however, our guide, Patricija, that really elevated the experience. She was engaging and knowledgeable, as well as warm and funny. On the way to the castle, she was able to provide real context to the history of the country and the castle itself, setting the scene for the journey, preparing us for what was about to come. By the time we’d arrived, we were all very excited! What was really nice, though, is that she was clear and concise with her info, and gave the group space to take in the surroundings, both on and off the coach. She had an easy manner, and brought people into the conversation, with their questions, answering anything that was put her way, which is a real skill. The hill of angels was the cherry on the cake, and wandering around the art works, was wonderful. There are many ways to go Trakai, but the comfort of a bus ride, and your own guide is seriously too good to pass up. It was great value, relaxed and very informative. When returning to Vilnius, I will definitely be using Jim’s tours again!

Jim is Scottish but has a wealth of knowledge on Lithuanian history, cuisine, geography and climate. He was able to answer every questioned we asked. I liked the fact our group of 7 were driven around the newest part of Vilnius too which I had not visited. While the weather wasn't ideal we had a great trip and everybody bonded quickly - there were Australians, Dutch, American and one from the UAE. Trakai is well worth visiting with plenty to see. There are lots of cafes too and restaurants serving great Lithuanian food. We all had lunch together. We also stopped at the Hill of Angels on the return to,Vilnius. My only suggestion would be that, rather than starting the walk at the top of the town, those that want it, be driven instead to the old fort foundations and Cathedral first and then allowed to walk back to the pick up point and restaurant. This way it would be just one continuous walk rather than walking both ways. Or at least being given this option. This is not a criticism just a suggestion.

Patricia, our guide was amazing - friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. She made the whole trip fun!!😊

Had a fantastic trip to Trakai with Jim. He’s a great guide — charming, laid-back, knowledgeable, and clearly someone who genuinely loves what he does and loves sharing Lithuania with visitors. The whole day felt relaxed and fun, and everyone in our group seemed to have a great time. Highly recommend Jim if you’re visiting Vilnius and want to experience a bit more of Lithuania!

Great small group trip and highly recommend it! Jim was a great guide - giving us a lot of information about about Lithuanian culture, history, as well as a fun playlist in the van! Was very relaxing tour and had plenty of time to explore at each of the stops. You had an option of staying with the group or venturing out on your own! Great option for solo travelers. Ačiū Jim!!!!

Fun and informative tour to Trakai with a stop at the Hill of Angels. Plenty of free time to enjoy these lovely areas. Great tour guide who provides the right amount of info with humor and fun facts. Highly recommend!

Great for learning about Lithuanian history. Enjoyed Trakai and lunch with the guide and fellow travelers. The visit to Trakai was unstructured.

Castle visit and hill of angels Jim’s tour was the best. Highly recommend He was very informative and a lot of fun.

Fantastic tour. Jim was a very engaging and informative host, who created a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Trakai is gorgeous and we had a generous amount of time to spend there. We enjoyed joining other tour members for lunch but there was no pressure or expectation to do so for those that preferred to do their own thing. I’m also so pleased that we stopped off at the Hill of Angels on our way back. All in all a great experience. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Jim was incredibly knowledgeable and such a funny guy. Best tour operator in Lithuania highly recommend.
