Estonia Tours and Trips

A very enjoyable and interesting experience. We learnt a lot about each country from experienced guides who really new the history of each place we visited. Very varied tours ranging from lovely cities with beautiful buildings, to visits to the seaside and countryside.

Our tour leader went over and above to make sure we learnt the maximum from the tour, even giving up her own time to do a replacement city walking tour when the organised one was rained off. Some people may have thought there was too much history but that was the point of ghe trip

I recently returned from the Upgraded The Baltic States and Poland trip with Explore, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. The itinerary is very well-organised, and you certainly pack a lot in - there’s never a dull moment! Some of the standout highlights for me included the cookery class in Riga, which was both fun and a great way to connect with local culture, and the peaceful boat trip in Trakai, which offered beautiful views and a welcome moment to relax. We should have taken beers though! Our tour leader, Signe, was outstanding - very knowledgeable, approachable, and always on top of the logistics. Everything ran smoothly, which made the journey feel effortless for the group. One of the key differences with this upgraded tour is the standard of accommodation, which was noticeably higher than on Explore’s standard trips. The hotels were comfortable, well-located, and a welcome retreat after busy days of sightseeing. If I were to offer any constructive feedback, it would be that in some locations - particularly Riga, Vilnius, and Warsaw - it would have been nice to have a bit more time to explore at a more relaxed pace. In Warsaw especially, we found ourselves quite tired during a four-hour walking tour in the afternoon, and the local guide used there wasn’t quite as engaging as some of the others we encountered. That said, the trip delivers a lot of cultural insight, history, and scenic beauty across multiple countries in a relatively short time. If you're looking to get a taste of the Baltic region and Poland with everything taken care of, this upgraded tour is a great choice.

I enjoyed the trip tremendously, even though the weather did not cooperate all the time. The biking was exactly as described, not too strenuous, but long enough each day to feel like one got a workout. In addition, the cycling route gave us a good sense of how each country viewed cycling. I also enjoyed the walking tour of Tallinn before the start of the bike trip, and the extra days in Riga and Vilnius.

Signe was an exceptional tour leader who made the whole process simple and enjoyable. It’s a busy trip visiting 4 countries in so few days but the tour worked very well and the Baltics definitely deserve some more time to be spent there to discover more gems.

Dzuigas was a fantastic tour leader. Despite breaking his arm while cycling on the 1st day , he gave excellent guidance & support to us while we cycled the rest if the trip. His local knowledge was excellent , and he had a great sense of humour which helped to make his city tours all the more fun & interesting
