Highlights
- Trakai Island Castle Museum - 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.
-
Kiubėtė - 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! - Trakai - 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).
- Angelu Kalva - On the way to Trakai we will visit unique Hill of Angels and discover how deeply pagan point-of-view to the world is expressed in our traditional art – wood carving and why there is a sun embodied on Lithuanian Christian cross.

Incredible memories - Our company recently had the privilege of hosting important guests from Chicago, and we were determined to make their visit to Lithuania an unforgettable experience. The success of this endeavor can be attributed in large part to the exceptional trip organization skills of Jolanta. Throughout the trip, Jolanta's warmth and hospitality shone through, making our guests feel genuinely welcome in Lithuania. We are very thankful to Jolanta and trip organization, our company and our guests were able to create incredible memories of Lithuania.

Amazing Tour of Trakai and Vilnius - I had a lovely time exploring Trakai by boat and taking in the amazing countryside with Marius. My tour was expertly organized by Kęstutis who gave me incredible personal attention and tailored a tour to my needs and interests. I loved Vilnius and am thrilled that I found Private Baltic Tours!

Posh Private Tour - There is nothing better than a private tour with a knowledgeable and friendly guide like Marius. His insights on Trakai and Vilnius were very lively and the time flew bye. Easy hotel pickup and drop off.

Excellent! - Private Baltics was, in a nutshell, outstanding. The owner, Kestas, himself went into great detail to make our stay in Vilnius comfortable (including picking us up at 5.15AM, for the balloon ride in Trakai, one hour away). And when one ride was cancelled, he took great pains to organise another! They go to great detail to make your stay comfortable. And their guides are superb - special mention of Victoria - she was smart, knowledgable, and dedicated. All in all, strongly recommend Private Baltics to any visitor to Lithuania. Unfortunately, Vilnius was the last leg of our Baltics tour, else we would certainly have used them for the other Baltic states!

Awesome day in Trakai and Vilnius - Hi Vilija, hope all is well and we had an awesome day and tour with Jelena today. We went to Trakai first thing in the morning (I invited her to be with us in the same car as I rented a Van) we had lunch there and then we did Vilnius finishing at 5pm. She's an excellent guide and her Portuguese is perfect. We look forward to coming back to Lithuania in the future and have more tours with you guys. Cheers Vytas
