The trip provided me with a great introduction to the Baltics. The tour guides were great and made me feel like an individual rather than just another number, tailoring the information provided to my interests as well as being knowledgeable about the countries, towns and attractions visited.
You will see beautiful old buildings and many other things on this interesting trip but early May was the wrong time to go this year. We were quite cold most of the time. During our walking tour of Tartu, it even snowed a little. At least we didn't encounter much rain.
The hotels are very good, with excellent access to the Old Towns in the three capitals. Explore has changed the hotels that people complained about, I think.

Lovely whistle stop tour of the Baltics, Ona was very knowledgeable and helpful and it was interesting to hear her stories of life in the USSR. Only thing is she did take us to a couple of quite fancy/expensive restaurants which weren't suitable for everyone.

Was a great trip Day 3 of actual bike ride, day 4 of trip perhaps not as enjoyable as 5km of loose gravel road and then quite a bit on a reasonably busy road which we weren't use to, but the destination, was worth it.
We really enjoyed the trip. The three Baltic countries are very interesting and scenic. The cycling was generally very flat and easy and we had an excellent group and tour leader.
