Come on a historical and musical bus journey to Trakai, covering Lithuania's rich history of Teutonic Knights, a union with Poland, basketball, the Soviet Union and much more! I want you to understand the key events and periods that have shaped the modern identity of Lithuania, the beloved country I now call home with my wife and son.

On the journey you will drive through the Soviet-era blocks as well as the UNESCO heritage site Old Town of Vilnius.

Whilst in Trakai (2.5-3 hrs) you can come visit a restaurant with me to sample some Lithuanian classics with time for the castle before (10€) or feel free to explore the town at your own pace.

On the return we will briefly stop by the Hill of Angels, built in 2009 as a site for promoting devotion and celebrate Lithuania's 'anniversary'.

This is kid friendly, we are only on the bus 1 hour out & 1 hour back. Baby seat required.

Looking forward to hosting you.

A fantastic, detailed and well-thought-out 4 hours of history, politics, culture, music and fun. Jim was super friendly from the off and provided us with a warm welcome and bottled water, always ensuring we were all happy and comfy. He showed us around Vilnius' old town and soviet areas before moving on to Trakai with constant, detailed, interesting narration along the way and even well-chosen songs interspersed along the way to illustrate the stories he was telling us. At Trakai we were given free time to explore and recommendations (we followed all of them, including the castle at an additional low price of ten euros) before we reconvened at a really popular restaurant where Jim guided us through the menu with descriptions and tips. It was lovely to all dine together, the food was tasty and good value for money and our guide ensured we could all take our leftovers home in doggy bags. On the return journey we saw the Hill of Angels and had free time to wander, and before Jim dropped us off, he made sure we all had further recommendations of where to eat, drink and explore. He even pledged to answer further questions on WhatsApp should we have them, which we later did with some walking tips. Jim was so entertaining and warm and personable and as a British native and outsider, so enthusiastic about Lithuania that it was hard not to feel the same way too! Highly recommended for a half day of exploring and fun.
Great trip

The journey to Trakai was very interesting. Jim was very knowledgeable and gave an indepth insight into the complex history of Lithuania, interspersing it with humour and music. The castle itself was interesting and there was a lot to see, so worth a visit.

During one day, we wanted to see as much as possible from Lithuania and contacted Jim for consulting. He was very flexible and after some correspondence a private whole day trip from Vilnius was arranged by him, finally reaching to the unforgettable Hill of Crosses in the northern part. The long drives were comfortable and safe, and when we add that Jim is an enjoyable person, what more can anyone wish for one day in Lithuania :-)
10/10!

We had an absolute blast with James in Trakai and the whole trip! It was 10 guys seeing Lithuania for the first time and it couldn't be more of a fun time. Easy to coordinate, flexible, informative, and fun. Would recommend!

nice and friendly guide however no explanation at all about Trakai our destination . we were left to wonder the city on our own . From reading about it , there’s plenty of history and information that was not delivered . I could have taken a cab there myself for the same experience
Fantastic day trip

I had a great time on this tour. Jim’s knowledge and passion for Lithuania is obvious. I throughly enjoyed learning more about the history of Vilnius and Lithuania in general on our way to the castle.
