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.
