Впечатления: Индивидуальный тур: Калининград, Балтийск, Балтийская коса, Куршская коса, рыцарские замки. Гид Александр. Замечательное сопровождение. Я выросла в Балтийске в те годы, когда балтийская коса была закрыта. Привезла внучку в этот прекрасный край. Даже для меня было много интересного. Очень довольна, рекомендую всем.
