Common questions about booking Kaunas experiences through SimilarTours
Yes, if you want real context. The Old Town's history - from ghost stories to love tales to Soviet fortifications - makes much more sense with someone who knows it. Private walking tours and sightseeing tours are popular here because the layers aren't obvious from street level alone.
For popular private tours, a few days to a week ahead is usually safe. Day trips further afield - like to the Hill of Crosses or the coast - tend to fill faster, so book earlier if you have set dates. Check directly with operators for seasonal demand.
Absolutely. Private transfers from Vilnius are available, and you'll see people booking half-day or full-day sightseeing tours with transport included. Many also combine it with Trakai castle on the same itinerary.
Late spring through early autumn (May-September) is warmest and best for outdoor activities like the flying experiences and nature parks. Summer is peak season. Winter is quiet and atmospheric if you don't mind cold, and walking tours still work well.
Many are - the sightseeing tours and day trips to national parks work for families. Ghost tours and love-story walks skew adult. Check accessibility details before you book, especially for Old Town walking tours on cobblestones.
The Old Town is walkable. For further destinations - Zemaitija, the Hill of Crosses, the coast - having a private tour with transport is easier than piecing together public transport yourself, though buses do run between major towns.
Private guides, transport from meeting points, and entry fees to sites (like Pazaislis Monastery or Rumsiskes Museum) when listed. Some tours include lunch or stops at local highlights. Always confirm what's included before booking.

Lithuania
Kaunas punches well above its weight as Lithuania's second city. It's compact enough to explore on foot but layered with history - Soviet brutalism sits beside baroque churches, and the Nemunas River cuts through everything. Visitors typically hire private guides here, whether for ghost stories in the Old Town, love-story walks, or serious history tours. You'll find people booking day trips out just as often: to the Hill of Crosses, the Baltic coast, Zemaitija National Park, or even combining Kaunas with Vilnius and Trakai castle across the same journey. There's also something unexpected - hands-on flying experiences with scenic views. It's the kind of place where you can squeeze a lot into a few days, or linger and let the Soviet-era architecture and river views settle in.
