5Lovely Lithuania
The tour began with a short ride to the first shoreside town and a walk through Witches Hill for about an hour. Then another short ride to the dead dunes and a trek through the sand to the ocean side with views. Then another short ride to view the live dunes from atop a hill. Then we opted to accept the offer of a $15 Euro boat ride where you get amazing views of the town and dunes from the water. Our guide Artur was awesome and encouraged us to try some local smoked fish at the pier. Then we rode back to our cruise ship from there. It was a lovely day and learned alot about the area. Just be aware of the physical walking involved. This is not a tour for people with mobility issues.
5Great guide for a wonderful experience on Curonian Spit
Our guide, Mantas, made our day absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable, engaging and proud to share his Lithuanian heritage. He kept us on schedule to ensure we saw everything he wanted to show, but never made us feel rushed. He was also flexible, allocating extra time in the schedule to activities that really interested us and balancing out the remainder of the time as needed. Mantas was open to our many questions and quick to share details and extra information. We highly recommend this tour and Mantas as the guide!
5Curonian Spit day trip with Neringa Tours
An excellent day that was well organized and was a great way to tour the spit. Neringa Tours and our guide Alvydas were excellent, and he provided informative information and was very flexible with the day’s schedule.
3Curonian Spit Tour
The tour guide wasn’t as informative about the area or culture as we have had on many other Tours we’ve taken. Much of the time he wasn’t talking at all. We did like his information on Witches Hill.
5Well worth the trip
So worth the skip the line ferry crossing saving waiting time and maximize the time spent on the Corunia Spit. Arthur was an excellent and enthusiastic tour guide. So friendly and full of stories and local knowledge. He made sure that we enjoyed the tour at our speed and according to our interest.
5Fantastic day out on the Curonian Spit!
Fantastic day out on the Curonian Spit! Artur was an awesome guide! He picked us up at our hotel right on time, and we spent the day with him exploring the very scenic and fascinating Curonian Spit. He is very knowledgeable about the area as that is where he was born and raised and still lives there today. He knows all about Lithuanian history. Do not hesitate to book this day tour! Neringa Tours is a family run business and very experienced.

About Klaipėda
Klaipėda is Lithuania's Baltic port, a city of half-timbered streets and shipyards and the gateway to the dunes and pine forest of the Curonian Spit.
Klaipėda lies where the Curonian Lagoon opens into the Baltic Sea, and it has been a harbour since the Teutonic Knights built a castle here in the thirteenth century. As Memel it belonged to Prussia and later Germany until the end of the First World War, and the half-timbered houses of the old town recall that era. In Theatre Square, the Simon Dach Fountain is topped by a figure of Ännchen of Tharau.
