Karolis is an expert...

Karolis is an expert guide, who has a lot of knowledge to share about the old town of Kaunas, and Lithuania in general! We didn't visit the museum as it was closed, but Karolis was able to impart important details pertaining to its historical significance. If you want an in-depth exploration of the old town's history, I'd highly recommend Karolis for his professionalism. Thank you!
