Vilnius Art and architecture Trips

I didn't know quite what to expect on this tour of The Baltics but it was a truly memorable trip. A huge thankyou goes to our guide, Simona, who went above and beyond any ordinary guide duties. She delved into the history of each country with joy and enthusiasm. She looked after us always ensuring that we were safe and knew exactly what we were doing. Our accommodation was excellent throughout and the pace of the tour was just right. This tour comes highly recomeended.

A very interesting group of capital cities. The tour also showed us a glimpse of the other important towns on the Baltic coast and how they developed via the Hanseatic league, The guide Simona was excellent with a clear love of the area and an amazing wealth of knowledge.

The trip is very much centred around cities which was slightly disappointing for me because so much of these countries are covered by forests and national parks. However the trip notes do make the itinerary clear so it would just be a personal preference to have included more of an exploration of the countryside, perhaps some day walks. Our tour leader, Ona, was very knowledgable, I learned so much about all three countries

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and the emphasis on Tallinn, Tartu, Riga, Kaunas, and Vilnius. Thanks for the extra day in Riga. If there was one change i would have made, it would have been an extra day in Vilnius deleting the day on Curonian National park though I felt that that day was interesting as well. The old towns in each of the capitals were special and should not be missed. Our tour guide Ona was excellent especially her knowledge of the various sites.

A Beautiful Journey Through the Baltics Our travels through the Baltics were absolutely fabulous! The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and much of the credit goes to our wonderful tour guide. Ieva, out tour guide, was knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating stories—especially about growing up during the communist era in the Baltic countries. Her insights into the region's history, culture, and traditions were truly impressive, and she answered all of our questions with warmth and enthusiasm. One of the highlights for me was hearing the local folklore and legends she shared in each country. I especially loved her storytelling at the Hill of the Witches in Curonian Spit National Park. The wooden carvings depicting Baltic fables were both eerie and enchanting—an unforgettable experience that brought the myths to life. The people we met throughout the Baltics were incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming. Whether it was locals in cafes or shopkeepers in small towns, everyone we encountered made us feel at home. Their warmth and friendliness added so much to the experience. Both of our bus drivers were fantastic—friendly, professional, and always punctual. It was truly impressive to watch them fit all of our luggage into the buses so efficiently! Traveling with them felt easy and stress-free. I also really appreciated the small group size. It made it easy to get to know everyone on the tour, and the group dynamic was relaxed and positive. One of the best things about a smaller group is that there's less drama and more camaraderie, which made the journey even more enjoyable. Another aspect of the tour I loved was the pace. Staying two nights at each hotel gave us ample time to explore the cities and towns on our own, without feeling rushed. It was the perfect balance between structured activities and personal discovery. The natural beauty of the Baltics blew me away. Each country was so lush and green, and the roads were in excellent condition—making the drive through the countryside a pleasure. All in all, this tour was an incredible way to experience the rich history, vibrant culture, and natural beauty of the Baltic region. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a trip that’s both educational and enjoyable!

Our tour leader went over and above to make sure we learnt the maximum from the tour, even giving up her own time to do a replacement city walking tour when the organised one was rained off. Some people may have thought there was too much history but that was the point of ghe trip
