Looking for a Guided Tour in Kaunas or Elsewhere in Lithuania. In this article, we will advise you on how to choose the right excursion.
Choose Based on Your Interests and Needs
When choosing a guided tour in Kaunas or Lithuania, it’s important to consider what interests you the most. Do you want to explore the Old Town, historical landmarks, nature, or dive into the local culture, traditions, and cuisine? Your choice will also depend on your available time and budget – some tours last only a few hours, while others can take a whole day or more.
It’s also important to choose the type of tour – whether you prefer walking, cycling, or kayaking. And don’t forget the purpose of the tour – whether it’s a team-building event for a company, or simply a fun activity with friends or like-minded people.
How to Book a Good Tour Guide
There are over 5,000 tour guides in Lithuania. However, the majority have completed tour guide courses but have not worked in this field since. Some guides have their own websites, while others use Facebook platforms, and a significant number work for tourism companies. It’s important that guides hold certification and work officially.
Sometimes, tour guides in Lithuania are subject to inspections. It would be unpleasant to find out during your tour that the guide did not have the necessary documents. In such cases, the tour would need to be interrupted. Guides with less experience may offer slightly cheaper tours, but we recommend booking a guide from a reliable, long-established service provider. This way, you and the other participants will be assured of a satisfying experience.
Things to Remember When Booking a Tour
Sometimes, curious situations occur when clients call to book a tour and only agree on it verbally. Then, a few weeks later, when the tour is supposed to take place, they call and ask why the guide hasn’t arrived. This happens because people sometimes say one thing but think of something completely different. For example, they may mix up the names of months and book a tour for March when they actually meant to book it for May.
Our advice, based on years of experience, is that after agreeing on a tour by phone, always confirm the booking in writing (via SMS or email). This way, both parties will know exactly when the service is scheduled, and they will always be able to verify this information by reading the message.
