A very enjoyable trip. Well organised, as usual with Exodus, well led, surprisingly hot weather (30+ degrees) and three very interesting counties. We visited several fascinating cities, and heard a lot about the dark days of soviet rule, the struggle for independence, and its eventual achievement in 1991.

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.

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.

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.
