Description

Whether you are traveling solo, in a group, on a cruise ship, or on a bus, you always want to get the best out of your holiday.

An alternative Klaipeda old town walking tour, we offer to immerse you in the search for the lost city of Memel (the city's name until the end of WWII). Visual aids, such as photos from the 19th and 20th centuries, will capture your imagination. These images will not only help you understand the city's historical facts but also enable you to relate to the daily lives of the people who lived here.

The tour is designed to be interactive, with short quiz questions to avoid overwhelm you with "dry" facts and dates. While visiting the iconic spots of the old town, we will try to capture the emotion of what it felt like to live on the borderline between Eastern and Western civilization.

Key objectives of the tour:

-Understand the distinction between Klaipėda and Memel and find artifacts of old Prussian culture
-Reveal remarkable stories from the Soviet occupation era

Very good tour,the guide was very knowledgeable and the twist of finding the lost city of Memel through the search of the 3 churches was great

Interesting tour

We have had an interesting tour with a friendly and humorous guide. As there were just three of us the interactive parts were not very vivid, but Martynas did his best to include everyone. Thank you also for the recommendations about food and other places to visit!

Short walking tour

An interesting tour of the town exploring it's German/Prussian past and the affect of 50 years Soviet rule. The guide was good and had knowledge of the history of the region.

The tour was interesting and interactive. Sad to See how much was destroyed and this was put into good perspective. The tourguide himself had great humor

Entertaining tour

Interesting aspects on an "off the beaten track" city. Old Memel's history is different from many of the surrounding cities of the Baltics, which had not been aware of before. By adding his personal perspective, Martin made this tour special and... we may even retain that there was a Queen named ... <just deleted the solution, you need to LISTEN ;) > (from Prussia of course ;)) once here in the city!
