Listen to an informative audio commentary on the 28-kilometer (17-mile) journey, and then get 2.5 hours to explore the historic Old Town at leisure.  See the amazing Insular Castle and well-preserved ruins of Peninsula Castle, constructed in the 14th century before falling into disrepair in the 17th century. Rebuilt after World War II, Insular Castle is now considered a major landmark of Lithuania.

The tour was well organized, i.e., without in-person guide but with audio MP3 explanations on our way to Trakay. I think it good enough for information. The driver was very kind, explaining a few places on our way or way back - which is not included in the tour. The free time was good enough to grasp the place., but hopefully a little bit more would be ideal.

The tour guide who only talked about something in the bus in this package was very attentive, funny and friendly. I did not receive an audio guide and could not install the one in the castle because the corresponding app is too outdated for my current Android operating system. The German translations in the castle are really bad, I would rather do a guided tour of the castle next time

We decided to go on this trip one day before so we booked online. We met as agreed and in a few minutes were on our way to Trakai together with other six tourists. The castle was amazing and the weather was reslly cold. We had lunch afterwards in the vicinity and returned back on time to start our trip back to Malta.
