I can't recommend this excursion highly enough. Giedrius graciously agreed to lead this excursion for me on Christmas. It was my second excursion with him, and he kindly offered to move around some of the itinerary items between my two excursions to accommodate what would be open on Christmas Day. He was very flexible and tailored the trip to my interests - I was interested in learning more about Lithuania's Jewish history and he showed me several sites related to that history in Kaunas that weren't listed on the described itinerary. After a guided walking tour through the downtown area, I had plenty of time to explore on my own, visit the Christmas markets, grab something to eat, and shop for a few souvenirs. We managed to fit quite a bit into this trip and still return to Vilnius at a reasonable time. I learned quite about Lithuanian culture and traditions as well from his thoughtful narration during the drive.
