Tours in Baltic states
The Baltic states are three countries of north-eastern Europe, on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea. The three small countries have a long interesting history, and an impressive cultural heritage dating back to the Hanseatic League. The region's 175,015 km2 are home to 6.3 million people, nearly half of them in Lithuania.
REASONS TO VISIT LITHUANIA
- For Vilnius old town: - Vilnius old town is one of the largestand most exquisite old towns in Central and Eastern Europe and the most northernmost capital city which took over the architectural styles of old Southern and Western Europe.
- Neringa: - Sands right in the middle of Europe? Unbelievable, but true! Wandering dunes. Standing on the peak of dunes you’ll enjoy a breathtaking view: hills of white sand and waves of the Baltic, the verdure of pine-trees and calm Curonian Lagoon. You get the feeling of listening to the symphony of wind, sand and water performed by nature.
- For unique traditions and authenticity- In 2003, UNESCO announced the Lithuanian tradition and symbolism the masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity.
REASONS TO VISIT ESTONIA
- Historical Places: - Estonia’s previous place in the Soviet Union has left the country with a distinct historical post. Today, old Soviet buildings and vehicles are still ubiquitous. Estonia is a must visit for history and war-buffs alike
- The beach scene: - Estonia’s white sandy beaches are a popular spot for tourists and locals in the summer. Estonia’s beach scene is also far more than tanning by the water; from sailing to windsurfing, Estonia offers plenty of water activities for those seeking an active holiday.
- Cultural richness:- Its nordic and medieval history, contrasted with the folklore traditions of its ethnic minorities, provides Estonia with a colorful and rich cultural diversity
REASONS TO VISIT LATVIA
- Art nouveau architecture: - For fans of this theatrical style of architecture and design, there’s simply no better destination than Rīga. The city’s architects got completely carried away with this trend when it swept Europe around the beginning of the 20th century and, despite the wartime devastation, over 750 art nouveau buildings remain.
- Beautiful beaches: - First-timers to the Baltic are often surprised by just how beautiful the beaches are. Granted, it doesn’t quite have the climate to match, but in the height of summer, the endless golden sands are a perfect place to relax.
- Old Rīga:- It’s lost its walls and it isn’t as cutesy as others across Europe, but the old town in Latvia's capital, Rīga, still has an impressive array of historic buildings, oversized churches and cobbled lanes. Best of all are the many sunny squares filled with beer gardens and street cafes.

You can start your tour any day that you’d like and we book the hotels after you’ve made your booking with your chosen arrival day. Since our tours are self-guided and are mostly catering to couples, families, and small groups of friends, the hotels are a lot easier to confirm availability and more importantly, unlike a guided tour, the trip won’t get cancelled due to low participation. You can even do the cycle tour by yourself if you’d like.
