I enjoyed the opportunity to learn in more details the history of the three Baltic countries as well as visit sites which were relevant and part of more recent history.

We loved our Baltic trip. The group was larger than advertised-20- but worked very well. [..] Lots of walking 10-20 K steps everyday. Glad we could manage! Leader, Andrius, was one of the best group leaders we have ever had. Can’t recommend him enough. [..] Great combo of in depth knowledge, excellent group management skills and terrific sense of humour.
Because of size of group we had a big bus for most of trip and a couple of upgraded hotels. Meant we could spread out and have good views out windows.
Could have used another day in Vilnius perhaps. Wonderful cities, great food, and English everywhere. Really learned a lot about the history and the awfulness of Russian Occupation as Andrius was about 20 when Independence happened.

The three Baltic Republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania share a common history but each of them is quite different. On this trip you will discover the capitals Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius, along with beautiful old town like Kaunas, beautiful scenery at Lahemaa and the dunes and beaches of the Curonian Spit. Then there are oddities such as crusader castles, the Hill of Crosses and a Soviet ballistic missile launch complex. This tour shows you all the highlights of these three fascinating countries.

Adventure Coordinators Insider Tip:
Tallinn is a pretty town but can get busy when the cruiseship passengers arrive. When I visited I got up early in the morning and had the place to myself.
