Dear Jolanta,
The Lithuanian Experience tour we took in September 2011 exceeded our expectations. Loreta was fabulous as our tour guide. Keep up the good work.

Dear Jolanta,
Our tour went very well. We loved Lithuania and we will be back. Loreta was very good and went out of her way to take care of all our needs.
We thank you for all your assistance with arranging our tour, you did a great job.
I hope the rest of the summer goes well for you.
Warm wishes

Jolanta, Dave and I enjoyed the tour very much. It covered much of what I was interested in seeing and experiencing. I particularly liked the visit to Ruta's farm, the ethnographic villages, and the museum of Lithuanian language. Loretta was a fabulous guide. Her knowledge and experience were very evident and added much to the tour. We particularly liked doing the tour with a small group, and appreciated very much that the daily schedule did not start too early. 8:30-9:00 a.m. was perfect. Your staff took good care of us and that made it a very relaxing trip. I would have liked to see more of Lithuanian arts and traditional crafts and arts/crafts people, but I realize that these things would not necessarily appeal to everyone on the tour. I am very pleased that I chose your tour company. Joan Patrick

Dear Jolanta and "Visit Lithuania" team,
Thank you for a most enjoyable, rewarding and informative visit to Lithuania. The whole trip was extremely well planned out. The airport transfers at the begining and end of the trip were timely and convenient for us. The hotels you selected were conveniently located, close to restaurants, shops and within walking distance of points of interest, especially the "old towns" in each city. The amenities, including breakfasts and internet sevices, were first class. The tour itself included many highlights of places in Lithuania, Lithuanian history, Lithuanian way of life now and in the past. We think, all of us on the tour felt the trip to Ruta's homestead was the highlight of the tour. She is a gracious hostess and made all of us feel welcome.
Loreta was a super tour guide. Her knowledge of Lithuanian history was amazing. Her timing each day was very good as to when we should do what and for how long. She was always most helpful in answering questions, guiding us when asked about stores, restaurants, etc. and taking the time to find information if she did not have an immediate answer. The tour bus was most comfortable and Jonas, our driver, was very friendly and profesional.
Most of all we are most grateful to you for making it possible for us to visit Alytus. From talking with Judy and Rose, it seems you also made it possible for them to connect with their relatives. We thank you for that.
If we ever hear of anyone wanting to visit Lithuania or the other Baltic countries we will certainly recommend your company to them.
Thank you for a great trip................Joseph and Eleonora Burton |

Dear Jolanta, I hope all is well with you. Now that we are back in London, we would like to say that we had a very good time in Lithuania. Thank you for helping to organise our trip. We will definitely recommend you and your agency to friends and family. Best wishes and many thanks, Lachlan |

Dear Justinas, Jolanta, and Dovile, I decided to research tours of Lithuania in January 2011. Based upon the prior testimonials from those who chose the Lithuania Experience Tour, it sounded ideal. I emailed the company numerous times before the start of the trip and each response was quick, polite, professional, courteous and personal. Justinas and his team could not have demonstrated better customer service. One very important question that I asked was how I could trace my Lithuanian roots. I was sent an email address even to assist with that. As a result I was able to obtain several names and addresses whom I contacted. Because of this assistance, I was able to locate one side of my family in southwestern Lithuania. Even if I had not, Justinas stated that he could have arranged a drive through the birthplace of one of my grandfather's en route to Kaunas. This was the beginning of an exemplary tour. It was so well planned. The sights that we visited allowed our group to deeply appreciate Lithuania's beauty, history, culture, and our heritage. My daughter, Laura, and I were able to take 2 days to visit with our relatives. According to Laura, this experience could have been part of a movie script. It was that phenomenal. We had a very friendly, competent and reliable driver, Jonas. And we had Loretta to lead and guide us. She was exceptionally patient, kind, and personalized our journey to make it so unforgettable from the special stops along the way to the beautiful Lithuanian music on the bus. She intervened for me at KGB Museum so that I could speak to an official. He gave me the the email address of the archives in Vilnius so that I could begin research about my remaining relatives born in Lithuania. Loretta cared that much.
Did we like it our trip? I'm 100% Lithuanian as all my grandparents were born there. I loved Lithuania, and I dearly miss it. I may have been born in the USA, but my genes are 'homesick'. Yes, I loved my Lithuanian experience very much. Lithuania is a safe and beautiful country, and even if you have no Lithuanian roots, the country and the guidance of Lithuanian Tours will reward you with priceless memories.
Sudievu,
Rose and Laura McNelis |

I had a very rewarding and enjoyable experience on my tour (Lithuanian Experience).
The young man who picked me up at the airport, and later drove me back to the airport, was very punctual and gave me a good first and last impression.
Loreta was terrific, in all ways - knowledgeable, sensitive, dedicated, savvy. I could not have been more pleased.
Jonas, the driver, was also very reliable, safe, trustworthy, friendly.

Hello Vaida,
our trip was wonderful--and successful due to the WONDERFUL driver of our coach.
The roads to Paparciai were horrible and he was very, very professional and managed to get us there without an incident. We appreciate his ability and persistence in helping us arrive as planned.
The restaurant was fantastic!! My students enjoyed the experience very much. Your recommendation was perfect, Thank you, as always for a successful excursion.

Hi Justinas:
Here's the last photo taken at the end of our incredible, wonderful tour of Lithuania. What a sad day it was, leaving Vilnius! I must say 'Lithuanian Experience' was our favorite & best trip ever! Our entire tour with Loreta was 100% perfect!
I'll definitely visit Lithuania again in the next year or two.
I sent several photos to Loreta taken of her during the tour.

Hello Vaida,
I'm back in Vilnius and want to thank you for a most professional guide, Loretta. She did so much research which was so very helpful. Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to tell you how much I appreciated your assistance. It was a most successful trip and will know better when I get home and read my notes, what my stories will be about. But in the meantime, many thanks for all...including the wonderful three days of sunshine. Well, today wasn't for walking but then we didn't have to do much in Pilvaskai. We'll be in touch if I need additonal information..
Again thanks to you and your staff.

Thank you so much for your entertain with courtesy and warmth, I'm greatly indebted to you for your generous hospitality and your great help and we've really spent very lovely days in your beautiful country.

We want to show a prefect and most attractive tourist destination--Lithuania to the Chinese People and also the world (our channel broadcasting not only in China), we are eager to get the footage of your country from you. |
Justinai, Sorry I didn't have a chance to see you before we left. I just wanted you to know what a wonderful time we had on our visit to my homeland. Loreta was amazing with her knowledge of the hundred's of years of Lithuania's history. She really made it come alive for us. You can be sure all of our friends who plan to visit Lithuania will have our strongest recommendation for your company from us. Lithuania is such a beautiful country and we hope to visit again very soon. Labai aciu, Stasys Barauskas |
Dear Vaida, We have now checked in at the airport and all is well. Thank you so much. We were very impressed with the vast amount of knowledge that Virginija had and greatly enjoyed all the sights that we saw. It was an excellent tour and we would definitely recommend it to others.

Dear Vaida, Well, you only got one thing wrong! It rained a little on Sunday evening - otherwise it was hot, hot hot! Hope that it has cooled down a little as it was really hot! Most unexpected! What a lovely country you have. We all thorougly enjoyed our visit to your country. Loved Vilnius, and Trakai is quite beautiful with it's fairytale castle. The entire tour was extremely well organised and everything ran like clockwork. Our guide, Virginia, was delightful, so enthusiastic about her job and knowledgeable about the history of your country - we really did enjoy our time with her. The "Narutis" was excellent, a most charming hotel and the staff all very helpful. We found it to be ideally located as well - right in the centre of everything really. I think above all we enjoyed the food we had in all the different places we ate in - lots of lovely restaurants. The people we met and had dealings with were all most charming and polite and helpful. Lovely things to buy in your shops also!! Vaida, thank you so much for organising this trip for us - we all loved it and all vowed to return to Lithuania again - and recommend it to our friends as a destination. With very best wishes Pippa Barnes
