Fantastic guided tour from Vilnius to Trakai with Jim! - Incredibly knowledgeable guide taking you from medieval to modern history of the Baltics. Jim's kind and easygoing, perfect for solo traveler seeking good vibes. Trakai is quite busy as it is such a popular spot, so prepare for crowds. But honestly the most enjoyable part was the drive there and back as Jim is an incredible story teller. Would 100% reccomed!

Great Visit to Traika - James was absolutely amazing to be with, he related so well with everyone on the tour, even down to arm wrestling the children and specifically taking time to make them interested. Going to Traika was a great break. He was so informative of the history and going ons of Lithuanian history

Unforgettable day! - From exploring the peaceful Hill of Angels to enjoying delicious kibins by the lake, everything was beautifully curated. Jim’s storytelling, enhanced with music, made the whole experience feel like a living poem. Heartfelt, soulful, and so worth it.

Fantastic Way to Spend a Day - This half-day trip from Vilnius to Trakai was a wonderful way to discover more of Lithuania. Our guide, Jim, was incredibly knowledgeable — he shared the country’s history with clarity, enthusiasm, and a real talent for storytelling, making complex topics feel accessible and engaging. Trakai itself is a great destination. The island castle, surrounded by waters and lush greenery. The scenery alone is worth the visit. The relaxed pace and small group setting made for easy conversation and a shared appreciation of the experience. Altogether, a thoughtful, informative, and memorable outing. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of Lithuania’s past in a truly picturesque setting. Thanks again for the tour Jim !!!
