You step out of Vilnius traffic and into a rolling, watery landscape: the road toward Kaunas skirts the reservoir, light skimming low across reeds while distant church towers puncture pine ridgelines. This full-day private tour threads three very different Lithuanian stories — rural life at Rumsiskes, Baroque grandeur at Pazaislis, and the layered streets of Kaunas Old Town — into a compact cultural loop.
