There is a lot to like about this Baltic ride - good bikes, good staff, selected interesting rides in lovely countryside that is mostly flat, history & cultural insights. The downside? Many ordinary hotels not suited to warm weather; disjointed tour with long shuttle rides in between riding stretches; the joining of self-guided individuals with a large guided group on the same bus is far from ideal.
