CHARMING LITHUANIA
“As of 1 January 2015, Lithuania will be one of the family...well, the Euro family at least. As the newest member of the eurozone, Lithuania will take the final step in its journey from east to west, from reluctant Soviet republic to fully fledged European nation.” Joe Bindloss, “Best in Travel 2015”, Lonely Planet
LITHUANIA - THE DESTINATION OF YOUR NEXT JOURNEY Just to sell perfectly built tours to Lithuania and afterwards let you simply forget about it - is not our company’s motto. We are committed to offer you much more. We want to invite you personally to plunge into this emotional experience and become a Lithuanian for the 5 days of your trip. We will make them delightful.

WHY? ACTUALLY, WHY NOT? • A country has an intriguing history of more than 1000 years.
• Architectural heritage right from the art-history books.
• One of the least explored sites in European travel map.
• Unique and inspiring natural wonders.
• Perfect example of a country in transition from Soviet Union to the modern West. • High standard services for less than European prices. • Deeply rooted original culture traditions.
In XIV century only Lithuanians stopped believing in forest spirits and adopted Christianity. Alright, here still is the Devil’s Museum and the Hill of Witches...

Just imagine yourself walking on the top of the highest shifting sand dunes in the whole Europe... • A huge variety of special activities.
What do you think about the flight with hot air balloon over the picturesque Old Town of Vilnius?
• Probably you heard a lot about Lithuania, but still have not paid a visit. • Only the locals can introduce you to all the best at once. This is why we are here.
