Trakai slott og museumstur

Utmerket tur og guiden vår var veldig lærerik og interessant. Vi hadde en fantastisk tid og vil anbefale denne turen på det sterkeste

Hyggelig halvdagstur med orientering på Trakai Castle; Selv om været var ganske kjedelig om vinteren, men slottet er fascinerende. Det var også litt tid igjen å spise en rask lunsj i den nærliggende landsbyen. Ikke mange butikker som er åpne om vinteren, men mot overfylt sommertid, virker ikke et dårlig tidspunkt å besøke.

Turen er OK generelt, men veldig forhastet. Vi dro klokka 11 fra katedralen. Vi tok to hentninger fra hoteller og rådhusplassen og ankom parkeringsområdet i Trakai klokka 12. Vi ankom slottet klokka 12: 20. Guiden og turen til slottet var ok og avsluttet klokka 13: 40. Vi måtte imidlertid være tilbake på treneren klokka 14: 25 da sjåføren måtte forlate klokka 14: 30. Det var praktisk talt ikke tid til å streife rundt i slottet og beundre utsikten, eller smake lokal mat.

Great trip. The guide was knowledgable and friendly. Easy pickup from Cathedral Square and nice van ride to Trakai.

We were given an audio guide and there was no physical guide, just one bus driver. Also there were no tickets for Trakai castle given to us! Not worth it! Rather take an Uber to the castle!

This was a very informative visit. It also was a great weather day- sunny and 20 degrees C. (68 F.). The guide was extremely knowledgeable and imparted significant history throughout the tour. We took two groups from the town on the bus- one with transportation to the town and the other group to also have the guided castle tour. It took him about 10 minutes to confirm who was supposed to be with him on the castle tour.

I took this tour as a solo traveler. The minibus was a great option to get from Vilnius to Trakai Castle. The meeting location was very easy to find. I do think the tour guide has room for improvement. I was the first customer on the bus in Vilnius. She asked me to move seats so she could sit in the front. However, 20 minutes later some couple sat in that same seat and she let them stay there. I loathe not being treated equally. Second, on three different occasions on route to the site, the tour guide just waked off without telling us where she was going. So, the group followed her each time. Then, she told us to return because she was just retrieving people. The tour guide thus should provide clearer directions to the group of people, so this misunderstanding doesn't occur. She did provide a nice history on the drive there, she knew the castle very well and provided a detail overview while inside, and she provided a good compilation of fun facts about Vilnius, the people and the country on the return.

Excellent tour! Helena was extremely knowledgeable and also had a great sense of humor. I learned so much about Lithuanian history.

Very enjoyable and interesting tour - excellent tour guide

I am enjoying Vilnius very much but it was nice to glimpse a little bit more of Lithuania. We were lucky enough to go on a beautiful autumn day when the colours of trees around the lake at Trakai were spectacular.It is a wonderful spot., and the village houses different and interesting from any other country I've visited. Essentially though this is a reconstructed castle and though well done, for me there was little atmosphere inside the castle itself. The guide was informative and pleasant, the journey straightforward. The only slight feedback I would offer that would be easy to fix was more of a welcome from the driver and the guide when we individually got on the bus. A smile and a hello doesn't take much, but none of that happened until the last pickup and we were all on board. A little thing but it would have started the trip in a more friendly and relaxed fashion. Incidentally this trip could have been easily booked in Vilnius at the same price as online. Having said that it is nice to have something planned in advance, and I would recommend the trip.
