Walking Tour of Historical Klaipeda, Lithuania - Martynas was an exceptional guide because he made the tour interactive, rather than just speaking at us. At the beginning of the tour, he had us each introduce ourselves including specifying our home countries. He asked us questions throughout the tour and rewarded those with the correct answers with a self-printed historical postcard. Amber is very prevalent throughout the Baltic countries. i appreciated Martynas' story about how his parents would take him and his siblings to gather up amber on the beaches after a storm (especially in the winter)!

A post card kind of tour - Covers the old town with in-site only a local can offer with a touch of humor and history. The length of the tour was perfect considering the size of the town

Grateful for understanding - Not sure how many stars to give without misleading. We did not actually go on the walk because our cruise ship did not dock there due to bad weather. Having said that, communication with the guide pre-trip was very good, plus I am very grateful that we got fully reimbursed for the cost of the trip despite giving very little notice - WELL DONE for that! Looked good value for money, but did not go on it, especially compared to the price of the trips being offered by the cruise line.
