This isn't a typical castle day trip. Join me for a journey through Lithuania's layered identity — Teutonic Knights, the Polish union, Soviet rule, basketball obsession, and the quiet pride of a country that refused to disappear. My commentary is personal, the history is real, and the route takes you through both the Soviet-era blocks and the UNESCO-listed Old Town before heading out to Trakai.

I will play music along the journey, from eurovision to songs of the forest by the fire, and then in Trakai there is free time to explore including optional castle entrance (14€ in high season) as well as lunch with me at a classic traditional spot!

On the way home we will stop by the Hill of Angels, a site built in 2009 devoted to spirituality and to celebrate Lithuania’s ‘anniversary’.

Looking forward to hosting you!

This was such a great experience! Jim was fun and engaging but also allowed us to do our own thing. One of the things I look for in a tour is a mix of guided and self-exploration, and Jim hit that perfectly. It wasn't too long of a day, and the things we saw and did were fun and informative. We also had an opportunity to have lunch with Jim at a local restaurant, and we took advantage of that. It was nice to be able to chat with our whole group and with Jim and learn more about everyone.
Jim is great!

Jim did such a good job! Very personable and remembered all of our names and interests. He was very informative and took us to many local spots to and from the main site. He answered any questions we had on lithuania and was overall a very friendly and kind person to lead the tour. I would highly recommend going on more of his tours. Great way to experience Lithuania!

Great time. Jim is a great tour guide, knowledgeable about Lithuania while maintaining a casual friendly vibe. We enjoyed Trakai castle, the scenery was beautiful, and the food good. We add Leo saw the hHilk of Angels which I personally loved. His tours are a definite recommend.
