Linus was so much more than our tour leader. He brought the history of Lithuania alive with his personal experience during the Soviet Era and his expert knowledge of all three Baltic States past history , even showing a video of the Hand Of Friendship which I didn't know about. He is an absolute professional and I left with a real sense of what these countries have faced in the past and what they have become today. The cycling was interesting although I found the bikes quite heavy compared to what I am used to . I loved going through the forests and coastal areas. Linus kept everything moving smoothly with stops for water and catch up. He always gave us such well informed walks in each city. For me , the trip would not have been the same without Linus. He is an exceptional guide , historian and bike leader . Thank you again Linus for everything you brought and gave to our group . You made it an unforgetable experience Margaret
