Overview
Available languages
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Whether you are traveling solo, or in a group, on a cruise ship or on a bus - you always want to get the best out of your holiday.
We offer to immerse yourself in the search of the lost city of MEMEL (the historical name of the city up to the end of the WW2). With a help of a personal collection of photos from the XIX - XX century we will capture your imagination which will allow not only to understand the historical facts about the city but also will enable us to relate to the daily life of people who have lived here.
The tour is designed to be interactive with some short quiz questions and not overwhelm you with "dry" facts. By visiting iconic places we will try to capture an emotion of how it felt to live on a borderline in between the EAST and the WEST civilization.
Our aim for the tour
♦️Understand the distinction between Klaipeda and Memel- find an artifacts of the old PRUSSIAN culture.
♦️Reveal remarkable stories from the SOVIET OCCUPATION ERA
♦️Enjoy your day in LITHUANIA

OUR MEETING POINT- Look for a purple folder :) A short introduction about the country Lithuania and the city will lead to more detailed explanation of why it was almost never part of the modern Lithuania. A view over the river will enable to identify the transformation that the city went through and how it looks in comparison to modern days.
A sculpture- city plan of the Klaipeda Old town from which allows us not only locate us for the rest of the tour but also forsee what went missing. A city plan will allow us to introduce the upcoming tour and locate in on the sculpture(city plan). Before we will continue- a first quiz question will be raised...

5.00It is nice to go around the small city and hear a bit about the history. Also the guide pointed out some of the statues that you would probably mis when you are on your own.
Memel has its own history separate from Lithuania

4.00You did a great job. Good walkable area. I'm glad he brought old photos. Central message about Memel, with its own history, separate from Lithuania, was clear.

5.00We loved this walk. It helped us to understand not only the broad history of Klaipeda but also it's history as a part of Lithuania. This is not just a series of historical timelines but s collection of stories illustrating past events. Loved the quiz questions too!
Unique and remarkable.

4.00Our tour guide was very creative as he led our tour. His knowledge prompted additional questions that he was able to answer. He also had a great sense of humor. You could tell he was well versed regarding his country. Enjoyed.

5.00Due to severe winds, our cruise ship was unable to get into port. The tour operator was so very kind to give us a refund since we simple couldn't make it.
We'll be back! Very much learned
