A beautiful, friendly country - We loved the Curonian Spit & learnt so much from the stories & information our guide, Arthur told us. The photos we took will be lasting memories of a wonderful day spent. A tour that was packed with much fun & interesting places. Thank you Arthur for a fantastic experience of Klaipeda, Neringa & Lithuania.

Beautiful day in Neringa - Impeccable service. The pick up from our hotel in Klaipeda was punctual and Aurelius then took us to the most characteristic places of the Curonian Spit. His explanations were very clear and really interesting. He answered all our questions and organized the visit according to our needs. The means of transport is very convenient. We definitely recommend this excursion that we really enjoyed. Aurelius does not speak Italian, but for those who get by with English he is definitely the Top!

Curonian Spit absolutely worth seeing - June 2024: We arrived in Klaipeda on a cruise ship and did not know how to visit the Curonian Spit, as the tour places organized by the ship had been allocated. In the port area we met the German-speaking local guide, Mr. Jgoris Osnac with his MiniVan. Three other tourists were already waiting with him. After a short information interview we decided to go on this ride. And we didn't regret it, it was great: He showed us everything and explained, stopped when we wanted to take a closer look, gave us interesting information about the country and people - and last but not least - he told us a lot about amber, as he is a passionate amber fisherman himself and also leads such tours. This excellent day tour cost only an incredible €50 per person. We will never forget this impressive excursion and would like to thank Mr Osnac once again along the way.

Great Day with Neringa Tours - Our guide Arturis was excellent. We had a lovely day visiting the Dunes, Nida, Thomas Mann's house and the cormorants. He had local insights and a lot of knowledge to share. Neringa Tour's are the best.

This tour is a MUST do in Lithuania - We are so glad we did this tour as it was one of the coolest experiences we had in Lithuania. Arthur our guide was very friendly & knowledgable and we saw and learned so much. The Hill of Witches and Dead Dunes are not to be missed and the small towns, nature views & other sights were definitely worth it. Ačiu Arturas!

Great day in Nida! - This tour was amazing! Such beautiful scenery and Arturas was very flexible with what our interests were and what we wanted to see and do. We even went to a nice place on the water for smoked fish and and good beer. He also catered to one of my children who likes to collect coins by stopping at his residence to find old Lithuanian coins he still has sitting around! Really nice to get a local guide who has a great perspective on the area. I would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to get a great introduction to the area.

A great day out on the Curonian Spit -
We did the tour of the Curonian Spit with Artur, who grew up and lives on the Spit and is a wonderful guide. He picked us up at our hotel and was able to get to the Spit on the ferry right away because his residence gives him priority in the queue. We enjoyed our walk on the trail around Witches Hill and the background that Artur was able to provide around legends and stories around many of them. We climbed some amazing sand dunes, got as close as we could to the Kaliningrad border, had some delicious smoked fish and kvass to drink, and toured the Thomas Mann summer house. Artur dropped us off at the bus station in Klaipeda for our evening ride to Vilnius. It was a wonderful day Artur made everything enjoyable and very easy. Highly recommended!
