Pazaislis Monastery and Kaunas old town are interesting. Rumsiskes shows the different style of houses and towns living in 4 different regions of Lithuania.

Unforgettable Trip to Kaunas

Amanda_B, Jan 2024

I can't recommend this excursion highly enough. Giedrius graciously agreed to lead this excursion for me on Christmas. It was my second excursion with him, and he kindly offered to move around some of the itinerary items between my two excursions to accommodate what would be open on Christmas Day. He was very flexible and tailored the trip to my interests - I was interested in learning more about Lithuania's Jewish history and he showed me several sites related to that history in Kaunas that weren't listed on the described itinerary. After a guided walking tour through the downtown area, I had plenty of time to explore on my own, visit the Christmas markets, grab something to eat, and shop for a few souvenirs. We managed to fit quite a bit into this trip and still return to Vilnius at a reasonable time. I learned quite about Lithuanian culture and traditions as well from his thoughtful narration during the drive.

Do not recommend this tour

Kim_P, Jul 2023

While the the sites were interesting and the guide gave us some information while at the sites, I would not recommend this tour. The guide was using the phone, texting and calling, during the entire day. While driving to the sights, he was texting using multiple apps and making/taking phone calls. I was afraid he would hit another car while he was texting and driving on the highway! I would have understood if there was some type of emergency going on but the calls seemed personal. He seems like a nice guy and is knowledgeable about the topics but really needs to put the phone away and focus on the tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hello, thank you for the answer and opinion about the tour. We will ensure that guides wouldn’t use phone while driving. Guides are using Bluetooth, which is legal, but if its abusive for the client, we will find a solution. Our best wishes for the next guest of our country, if they will choose this tour after such terrible review and experience of the past client.

Unforgettable tour.

Milena_S, Jun 2023

The guide Giedrius is very competent. I learned a lot from him. I was able to visit places woch can't be reach in a day by public transport. I liked this tour and will recomend it.

Excellent tour with the excellent guide

Ilham_G, Jul 2019

Excellent tour, nevertheless we had to make some changes to the itinerary due to the needs of one of the participants. Our guide, Jurata, was an excellent guide & extremely sympathetic as well as very flexible that she adjusted quickly the itinerary in order to make happy everyone. As a result, we had even a better tour, during which we visited additionally Trakai.

A Good Day Trip Out of Vilnius

Gregg_B, Jul 2019

Had a nice time, good and informative driver, and a tasty "business lunch" at a restaurant on the monastery grounds. The visit to Kaunas was definitely a highlight.

Despite the weather, we were able to...

AnneMarie_M, Jan 2017

Despite the weather, we were able to adapt and have a wonderful day walking around Kaunas, the Pazaislis Monastery, and made an audible to see St. Peter's and Paul's Church instead of Rumiskes due to the icy weather. We walked around Kaunas whose sights included seeing the outside of Kaunas Castle, the Christmas market in the main square, riverbank, and churches. Then, we went to Pazaislis Monastery the largest monastery in Lithuania. The grounds are interesting and chapel just beautiful! We ate at the monastery and it was one of the best meals I ever ate!! The duck fillets combined with the fruits brought out such scrumptious flavors! Rumiskes is outdoors and since I hadn't seen and wanted to see St Peter and Paul's Church, we toured that instead. Her knowledge of the Church was wonderful! I learned so much more than I would've had I just stopped in on my own!

Viele Eindrücke an einem Tag mit kompetenter Führung

Gernot_E, Oct 2022

Der Guide war sehr freundlich und kundenorientiert. Er ging jederzeit auf die Gäste ein und hatte ein sehr breites Wissen. Das Freilichtmuseum Rumsiskes zeigt Gebäude aus verschiedenen Regionen Litauens, was sehr interessant ist. Auch im Oktober waren noch etliche Gebäude von innen zu besichtigen. Die Kirche in Pazaiskes ist ein imposanter Barockbau, der allerdings die ansässigen Schwestern hinsichtlich der Erhaltung sichtbar überfordert. Kaunas an der Memel hat eine übersichtliche Altstadt, die aber auch sehenswert ist.
