5.00We 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.
Excellent Trakai Trip

5.00This 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.
Not value for money.

3.00Felt disappointed with Kernave - a UNESCO site, where NOT ONE ruins of the 1000 medieval forts on the hills are visible. Just the view of the green hills and river is nice. All the museums and castles are closed on MONDAYs. So, we could only see Trakai island castle from outside and took a boat ride in the lake around the castle. Trakai castle visit on other days would be nice, I guess. Locations are beautiful, but half day excursion felt like a waste of time for us. Driver cum guide was good.
Great Castle to Visit in Lithuania.

5.00This 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.
A great trip with a great guide!

4.00The 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
Nice tour

5.00I 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! The scenery was amazing and my guide was knowledgeable and helpful! As a single female, I felt safe the entire time and and would recommend to others!
Great trip
