See the city and some top sights around, that are usually skipped by others.

First, Marius, our guide was very flexible and accommodating. We arrived on a rainy Sunday and most of the places around Kaunas were close, but the visit was very interesting getting to know the importance of the city in the history of the country (it was the capital city for some time), and we found a superb story about the history of basketball. Afterwards, we had lunch at a restaurant that specializes in local food, great experience. On the way back from this tour, there is a stop at Rumsiskes, an open air museum with authentic country side houses, including a bunker (check it out on your visit). Be prepared for a long and beautiful walk. It's a full day experience worth doing.
