Panemunė castle road and nature trails

This spring-autumn I invite you to an unforgettable journey full of authentic towns and picturesque landscapes.This excursion intertwines the history and culture of Lithuania, the history of Lithuanian Jews, the history of Small Lithuania and the beauty of nature.

The excursion is perfectly balanced for a group of friends or a family trip.The excursion is interesting and useful for children from 6 to 17 years old.During the excursion we do a lot of walking and spend time outdoors.

“…Life is in constant motion. All kinds of different forms come and go… Over thousands of years, stones grow and crumble. Plants explode, animals and people die and then disappear… These days, people are learning to look at nature with a more tranquil gaze. And the phenomena of life are more and more clearly seen in a strong relationship with nature. It is as if all the secrets of nature, all its mysteries, are revealed to man…”

Testimonials

Harlan Stelmach, Professor of Humanities Dominican University of California

Dear Marius, I hope you are doing well.  We are back home in California after completing our family tour that took us all the way to Moscow. My brother, sister-in-law and my wife want to thank you for a great guided tour of Kaunas and Vilnius.   You are multi-talented.  A great driver.  A knowledgeable tour guide.  An informed historian. And a linguist.  Without your tenacity and language skills we would not have located a possible distant relative on the banks of the Nemunas River in Kaunas.  You went way beyond the call of duty to serve us.  You not only showed us the usual important sites but you took that interesting side roads to give us a unique tour of Lithuania.  Your love for life and your country was evident in all you did for our whole day.  You are a very generous person.  We will recommend your guiding services to anybody wanting a the touring experience of a life-time.  Thanks for a great day in Lithuania.  It was a real highlight of our whole tour. With much appreciation, Harlan Stelmach, Professor of Humanities Dominican University of California

Vilnius-Trakai-Kernave Tour 2014

Wembley Catenians

I had a chance to host a group from London that came to Vilnius for a long weekend. As I am not professional in this area, I was looking for professional guide. This is how I met Marius. The scope was walking tour in Vilnius old town, second day driving to Trakai and Kernave, third day – Turgeliai, Medininkai castle and other nice places on the way. The group was very happy about the services Marius provided, but they are nice people, they would say this in any case. Meanwhile I am not a nice person. I was looking after him very carefully: his punctuality, English level, historical knowledge and attitude in general. And what can I say – everything was just great. He is a real professional, intelligent and pleasant person who will always do an extra mile to please the client. I would definitely recommend him! Thank you and good luck, Marius! Ausra

JEWISH HERITAGE TOUR VILNIUS

Joan and Jerry Kaskowitz

Marius – sorry for the delay in thanking you for the very thoughtful and complete visit to the Jewish Heritage sites in Vilnius, but we have been going non-stop since our OAT tour began. We were impressed by, and grateful for, the attention and care that you showed during our full day together and really touched by our visits to the former Jewish sites and especially to the Paneriai Monument where you provided the yahrzeit candles. It made the visit very meaningful. By the end of the long day we felt we had a better understanding of what Jewish life had been in Lithuania and how it had been destroyed. Ending the day with the fine Lithuanian dinner confirmed that we had also made new friends. Thank you very much for all your efforts. Best wishes, Joan and Jerry Kaskowitz

If you check out one Web site or send one email in advance of your trip to Lithuania, it should be to Marius! He will take care of you from A to Z from the minute you land to the minute you depart. He is super knowledgeable and we learned so much from him. His love for his country and specifically for its Jewish history is so evident. Marius is definitely the way to go!

You had done a Lithuania tour for my family (the Naujokas Family, we traveled to Vepriai- Nida-Zypliai-Klaipeda-Vidukle) about a month ago. We are still all talking about what a great trip it was, how lucky we are that we chose you as our guide and how important it was to have been able to go and see the country where our relatives came from. All of us still remember your kindness and attitude for ourselves.How willing you were to help us in locating the places were our relatives were born or died. You are great person and patriot of your country may God bless You and your familly. I did give your name out to someone who was thinking about going on a trip to Lithuania. Hopefully you are continuing to have a busy summer giving tours. Best regards Linda (Lukosevicius-Bald)
