Sarunas was an excellent guide. He had extensive knowledge about the history of Jews in Vilnius and about the Holocaust. The walk through the ghettos and hearing about different sites on the way was very interesting. The synagogue was open so we were happy to be able to go into it.

Saronas gave us a wonderful tour. Thoroughly recommended. He took us to all the import sites, and his candid narrative was an eye opener and much appreciated.

It was wonderful experience and well managed. I done this on my official trip post office hours and the entire experience was seamless. I was solo but I had lots of fun. Thank you !

1. Was a long trip from hotel in Vilnius to Trakai. The ONLY negative. 2. When I saw them pull the basket and balloon out of the trailer, I thought what did I get myself into. Was expecting to arrive to a balloon ready to go. 3. Watched them assemble the basket/hot air blower and inflate the balloon and almost couldn't believe it. Quickly and professionally. Eased my mind, real pros. 4. Climbing into the basket was an adventure for me, I was the first to go. But made it in. 5. Lifting off the ground was a little nerve wracking for me. But once in the air.....Incredible. 6. Being a third through October, it was very cold. I wish I brought warmer clothes. 7. The views from above were spectacular. The pilot was excellent. And while the basket was a little cramped, the people I met were friendly and I didn't mind the close quarters at all. I couldn't be happier I had this adventure. 8. The landing was a bit rough. But not too bad. And once back on the ground and out of the basket, as first time hot air balloon flyers us all we were all offered a glass of champagne for landing safely as such and given a certificate stating we accomplished this first flight safely. A nice touch. I of course enjoyed my glass. I believe everybody did. 9. Would I do it again or recommend it to someone? Absolutely. Only wish in warmer weather, and the time in the air was longer.
