It was the only tour I could find that covered all 4 countries. Lots of included meals and activities. Our guide Dino and our driver Josef were excellent at their jobs. Excellent accommodations, interesting places to visit. If you want to see the land, food and people I highly recommend this tour.
Anonymous | Traveled in June
very knowledgeable tour leader. good balance between free time and tours apart from Riga, The tour felt a bit rushed and we were left on our own from mid morning . Felt it needed a bit more included. Tour leader always organised a group meal in the evening which was ideal for me , a solo traveller

The director Enzo Buonomo was professional, knowledgeable. It was the best in his field. He was prepared and organized throughout the entire tour. I had a wonderful time. Some the hotels and food need improvement . In the future I will come comeback to Inside Vacation to take more tours. Thank you Enzo and the driver, excellent job
Katarina S. | Traveled in June
Hotels and optional dinners were significantly better than with other tour groups. Each stop had a nice surprise except Plymouth, one night would have been sufficient. Sadly, UK in general still don't cater for those with special diet.
