As it is a private tour you will get personal attention from a local expert guide. Travel to/from Lithuania's medieval capital on two different routes. Visit site not included in other tours. Discover medieval stories and legends about Trakai Castle(s), get to know about the times when Lithuania was the biggest country in Europe and find out why Crimean Karaites came to Lithuania and have a traditional lunch in the local off-the-beaten path restaurant. All this along with private stories and local point-of-view. Expect to get much more than from a regular join-in tour, get an unbiased advise and make a new friend.
Pickup included
After reaching the island and taking off the boat, guide will lead you to the entrance to the castle and will help you to buy tickets to the castle museum to explore it on your own.
All happy we will head to local café, run by true Karaite, settled off the beaten tourist path where we will have Crimean Karaite lunch and try traditional dish - KYBYN, and while waiting until it will be baked, enjoy pint of craft beer, Karaite spirit drink and talk about us and you, tell you openly about Lithuania’s past and present. After lunch we will head back to Vilnius BUT on the different route!
After the visit to the castle you will have up to 30 minutes to swim, paddle or shop for souvenirs (folks say it’s way cheaper to buy amber jewelry here than in Vilnius).
