Exploring Romantic Spots and Hidden Secrets

One of the main draws here is the chance to uncover the love stories of Aleksota and Kaunas. These stories add a personal and human element to your walk, making history feel alive. The guide will also reveal secrets of Kaunas castle and old cloistral buildings, which have stories woven into their stonework.

Solving Mysteries and Legends

A fun aspect is trying to solve the mystery of the confluence of the Neris and Nemunas rivers. It’s a kind of playful puzzle that adds a bit of intrigue to your walk. The guide’s storytelling style, often peppered with local legends, helps bring the city’s romantic, cozy, and mysterious atmosphere to life.

The Practical Side: Logistics and Value

The price of $481 for a group up to four might seem steep for just two hours, but for a private experience with a knowledgeable guide, it’s reasonable. This cost means you get tailored attention—no crowded groups, no rushing, just your own questions and curiosity.

The tour is wheelchair accessible, which is a plus if you’re traveling with someone with mobility needs. You’ll spend most of your time outside, so dressing appropriately for the weather and wearing comfortable shoes is a must.
