She explained the Jewish heritage in Vilnius then at the Paneriai Memorial Park. She answered my questions and we had good conversation about Lithuania's history afterward. Trakai Castle is really beautiful place surrounding by frozen lake and Inga amazingly explained the history of the castle. I highly recommend this tour to anyone that visit Vilnius!!!”

“I scheduled this trip for the same day I arrived in Vilnius. My guide was absolutely wonderful!! He showed me around the Paneriai Memorial (which most Trakai tours don't stop at). I learned the sad history of the area before continuing to the medieval Trakei Castle, the former capital of Lithuania. We walked throughout the castle grounds seeing the beautiful reconstruction! It was unique & fun! The area around the castle was just breathtaking! Highly recommend this tour!”
Float over UNESCO Vilnius Old Town or Trakai with hotel pickup, live English commentary, and a champagne toast in a balloon.
“The hot air balloon flight that I took in June 2023 was in my top 3 favorite travel experiences of all time. The company was easy to work with and communicative. Our flight was delayed two days because of winds and they were great at communicating about the cancellations and reschedule. During this experience, you get to see the whole process of putting the balloon together at the Vilnius park and them packing it all back up again at the end when you land. It is such a smooth ride - you wouldn't know you were ascending, descending, or moving unless you look. It feels like you are floating in…”
