Very interesting and...

Very interesting and informative tour that gives a timeline of events throughout the centuries on the history of Kaunas and Lithuania and Eastern Europe more broadly. Karolis was my tour guide - he was friendly and engaging. Would recommend for sure.

Very Cold City Walking Tour

There are times the fort is not opened. But the guide did walk us through the town and down by the river and showed us the church and the Thunder house
