About this tour
This session stays along the shore of the Kaunas Reservoir, Lithuania's largest artificial lake, formed by a dam on the Nemunas river. You see the scale of the water from near the dam and the path that traces where the river used to run before it was changed. It is a quieter, outdoor session away from the old town.
I open with a short sound check near the dam, then walk the shore path while explaining how the landscape shifted once the reservoir was built. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short note afterwards on the dam's history.
This suits anyone who enjoys nature and water alongside history. It also works well paired with the Pažaislis session for a longer afternoon around the reservoir.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Kaunas before heading out.
-
The Dam and the Reservoir 15 min
The camera looks out over the Kaunas Reservoir from near the dam, and I explain how it was built on the Nemunas river and how large it really is.
-
The Old Riverbed 15 min
Further along the path, I point out where the original Nemunas riverbed used to run before the dam changed the landscape around it.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Kaunas: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Bulvių plokštainis and Naujamiestis (New Town), worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Vilnius time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Kaunas, showing you The Dam and the Reservoir and The Old Riverbed live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?

How it works
