Overview

Whether you are travelling solo, or in a group, on a cruise ship or on a bus - you always want to get the best out of your holiday.
We offer to immerse yourself in the search of the lost city of MEMEL (the historical name of the city up to the end of the WW2). With a help of a personal collection of photos from the XIX - XX century we will capture your imagination which will allow not only to understand the historical facts about the city but also will enable us to relate to the daily life of people who have lived here.
The tour is designed to be interactive with some short quiz questions and not overwhelm you with “dry” facts. By visiting iconic places we will try to capture an emotion of how it felt to live on a borderline in between the EAST and the WEST civilisation.
Our aim for the tour
♦️Understand the distinction between Klaipeda and Memel- find an artefacts of the old PRUSSIAN culture.
♦️Reveal remarkable stories from the SOVIET OCCUPATION ERA
♦️Enjoy your day in LITHUANIA
