This day trip out of the city was fantastic! It was a wonderful way to see the historic capitals of Lithuania, including Trakai. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and conscientiously allocated extra time for additional activities including shopping at the Trakai market. Since we were on foot in the city, meeting us at our selected location was very helpful. We highly recommend this tour and the wonderful staff.

We had a wonderful time with Dominic who made it an experience to remember. He was very knowledgeable. Dominic expertly guided us through Kernave, then ran us by the Hill of Angels, after which we did a short circuit on the far side of the lake at Trakai. He arranged a boat tour and we enjoyed a very nice local lunch at Blynu Namai. Highly recommend the tour and ask for Dominic.

We booked a private tour for just myself and my brother-in-law about a week in advance. Our tour guide, Snega, was very responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. We saw everything we wanted to see and more.

This is a very interesting trip, first going to the medieval site of Kernave, which has remnants of hill forts , and then on to Trakai. The castle there sits on an island and it is a very scenic location.
The castle itself is a medieval one in a restored state.

The two sites we visited were very different but equally unique. Our guide went through both sites with us and gave us an informed guided tour. The only reason I did not give him 5stars was that his car could have been cleaner
Very nice informative guide.. totally recommended

I enjoyed my tour of Day Trip to Trakai and Kernave!I loved being able to do a little of many things. Exploring the old capital of five hills and touring a medieval castle. Lunch was delicious!

Very good day with our excellent guide Jurate. We found such lovely places and we spent a a real interesting day. Highly recommended
Unser Guide war sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und kompetent. Auch an einem stürmischen Herbsttag war Trakai sehr schön. Kernave hat uns durch die Landschaft beeindruckt.
