Great walking tour - I joined a free walking tour in Klaipėda with Martynas as our guide, and it was excellent! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared great stories about the city's history and culture. Martynas made the experience fun and informative – he is using posters and cards to show what Klaipeda used to look like and why so many things are missing today. A perfect way to explore Klaipėda!

Uncovering and Understanding the Forgotten Past of Klaipeda (Memel) - The tour guide Martynas becomes your window into the past helping you see beyond the existing buildings and giving you an insight beyond the usual city stories. I also appreciate his sincerity, inquisitiveness and his inclination to improve and dig deeper.

Knowledgable and funny! - We had a fun and informative time with Martynas. Not only was he knowledgeable but he put a personal spin on what he knew. His delivery style was very interactive, helped by his sense of humour. We’d recommend his tour to anyone visiting Klaipeda.

An exceptionally good city guide memorably explains the history of Klaipeda - We have done a lot of tours in different cities in different European countries and therefore allow ourselves to assess the quality of a guide. The empathetic Martynas has been by far the best city guide so far. In fluent, accent-free High English, we learned many historical connections about Klaipeda (formerly Memel), which cannot be extracted from guidebooks and search engines. Although Martyna speaks ideal school English, he does not reach the language speed of a "native english speaking person", which always ensures that a great deal of information reaches you. The quality and benefits of his approach have been correctly presented here by previous reviewers and require no further repetition. When we return to Klaipeda, we will book his tour again.

Visiting Klapeida for the 1st time - Martynas was an excellent guide & gave us historical information about the city of Klaipeda. We love taking free walking tours in the cities we visit as we travel throughout Europe. My husband & I highly recommend taking a tour this way you learn a lit of the city you are visiting. WE appreciate Martynas for meeting with us on such short notice too since we arrived on the ferry from Sweden late. He also gave us some recommendations about beaches to visit. We appreciate all his help. Thank you!
