Adam did a great job breaking up the trip so we were never in the car for too long at one time. He was willing to stop whenever we asked (we booked a private tour). It is a long day, but Adam was great at answering all of our questions about Lithuania and had a wealth of knowledge to share.

Thank you for the tour. I didn’t have a background of Christian history so the guide helped me understand the background.
The guide also introduced us to the restaurant where we can have a delicious Cepelinai.
十字架の丘の前に十字架がある公園に行きました。そこで司教の話などをしてくださり、キリスト教についての知見が深まりました。
十字架の丘に行った後は現地の人がよく行く人気の...

A long journey, 3 hours each way, but well worth it. Great guide who was very informative.
Very profound place, deeply moving. My only criticism, we travelled in a car, 2 of us and 2 strangers and driver who was our guide. A bit too close for comfort for me.
