Review Klaipeda Old Town Tour and the Lost City of Memel b

This was an excellent and extremely informative tour. Martynas was very knowledgeable and interesting. Lots of really great information, facts and humour. He brought Lithuanian history to life over many, many years. The organization of the tour was straightforward and a time change was notified in plenty of time with a request for confirmation so that he knew it had been received. The pace of the tour was good and Martynas was able to retain the interest of the group. The tour ran over the time but we appreciated the extended time as there was so much to see and learn. Would thoroughly recommend this tour and Martynas as a brilliant tour guide.
