Have you even wondered what life was like in the 18th century? What did noblemen and their servants do all day? Our brand new magical manor tours offer a glimpse into rich Lithuanian history, the days when barons and baronesses ruled the land. You will visit Renaissance and Classicism castles, see the beautiful Lithuanian nature and even get to experience the life inside a XIXth century manor yourself! Don't miss the chance to tour the mystical Lithuanian manors!
Our two short manor tours are similar, yet very different at the same time. In the Seaside and the North manor tour, you'll not only enjoy the mystic northern castles that are settled between thick forests and surrounded by various fantastic legends, but also see the wonderful Lithuanian seaside.
In the Nemunas and the North short manor tour, the main route is the Nemunas river and the renaissance castles all along it. But don't fear, you won't miss the mysterious land of myths around the northern manors, because this tour includes them as well!
