Well organised, and the leader was flexible to accommodate the group’s needs. He was also full of information and answered all our questions - and we had plenty!
The hotel choices were excellent, all being in central locations to explore the cities, and the driver was professional, friendly and got us to our destinations safely.
Great tour—Tauno was very knowledgeable and cared about giving a great tour. The itinerary was great—however, I’d say it was a bit too fast-paced and the days were too long. Maybe too ambitious for the amount of days. Perhaps making it an 8 or 9 day tour would be better.
I unfortunately had a cancelled flight and missed the first two days of the tour in Helsinki and didn't meet anyone until the morning we left for Tallinn, but after that everything went smoothly and probably exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed all of the places we visited and our tour leader Michelle and driver Gareth were top-notch.
This trip was a hidden gem! The Scandinavian capitals were stylish, and the Baltics were full of history and charm. The fjords in Norway were absolutely breathtaking!
A very interesting trip covering the three Baltic Countries. Our tour leader Ona shared a wealth of information on all the places we visited on our 2 week trip. She was always well prepared and ensured all members had advanced knowledge of each days program. We travelled to many places in each country which had a historical interest. I felt we received excellent information which gave us a much better understanding of earlier times. I enjoyed many place but perhaps Riga was the highlight with a tremendous variety of things to do and see.

My husband and I took this tour to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips of our lives. We’ve traveled quite a bit over the years, but this tour stood out for its perfect blend of countries.
From the very beginning in Copenhagen everything felt well-organized and thoughtfully planned. The pace was comfortable for us: not too rushed yet still packed with fascinating experiences. We especially loved the fjord region in Norway cruising past snow-capped peaks and still waters was like something out of a dream. Each capital city had its own charm.
The hotels were clean, comfortable, and located close to key attractions which made exploring in our free time very easy. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making the experience enjoyable. She even arranged a surprise dessert at dinner one evening which brought tears of joy to my eyes. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made us feel celebrated and appreciated.
We also enjoyed connecting with fellow travelers from different backgrounds. This trip reminded us why we fell in love with eachpther in the first place. Scandinavia and the Baltic were destinations we’d always dreamed of, and the team made it all possible without the stress of planning every detail. We came home with beautiful memories, hundreds of photos, and hearts full of gratitude. We would absolutely recommend this tour especially for special milestones. Thank you, team, for making our 45th anniversary so unforgettable.
