Laura (LT) Tour Leader & Queen of Lithuania

"Informative and fun"

Laura was an absolute delight as our driver and guide for the day. She is fun, knowledgeable and a careful driver. She is obviously an experienced guide and her bubbly personality made us all feel welcome and wanted.

"The best way to travel from Riga to Vilnius"

Laura is a very engaging and entertaining guide. The trip was a blast.

"Great Way to Make Your Way to Vilnius"

I would highly recommend if you want to experience some new sites outside of the cities. Laura was very energetic & the group is small enough that you get the personal touch.

"The only way to travel "

Would have liked longer at the hill of crosses but apart from that everything was 10/10. Knowledgeable guide (Laura), well worth the money. Wish we had have done the Tallinn to Riga one now too.

"Best way to travel from Riga to Vilnius!!!"

Booking this tour was hands down the best decision for traveling from Riga to Vilnius. Our guide Laura was amazing, knowledgeable and just a lovely and funny person. She really made the 11+ hours fly by. The stops along the way were chosen well, and Laura gave us lots of background info on the individual stops but then we also had time to just explore a little. The lunch stop was very yummy and a great location and the fact that she ordered our chosen food ahead saved us time. We travelled as a family of 3 and really can't recommend this tour enough (even our teenager had a great time :)

"Great day tour "

Best way to get from Vilnius to Riga, visiting the main highlights on the way, with an amazing guide and driver, Laura.

"Highly recommended!"

We really enjoyed this tour! We don't drive, which made it challenging when planning a trip that would take us to all of the key places we wanted to visit in Latvia and Lithuania. This tour was perfect because it took us to many of those places while also moving us along to Vilnius, the next stop on our Baltic journey! Laura, our tour guide, was great. She is energetic and kept the tour moving along with the perfect amount of time to visit each place. If you unfortunately fell asleep in the car (jet lag, not boredom!), you didn't miss important details, as she saved the key facts for our stops to see the various sites. Laura somehow remembered everyone's names! There was a good variation in the types of sites we visited. A must see for us was the Hill of Crosses, and we were glad we saw it! We were also glad to visit the Salaspils Memorial and the Rundale Palace. It's hard to choose, but my favourite place we visited was Kaunas. We took this tour in December, so the Christmas Market there was a site to see, especially lit up at night! This was a jam-packed day, but a great way to travel between Riga and Vilnius and see unique sites along the way. We highly recommend this tour or the same tour in the other direction.

"Really worth facility"

It was really useful facility. Today I was looking for similar tour bus In Romania but I am not getting. Now I rember how exactly it was useful trip with a happy person as guide.

"Best trip ever!"

Our tour from Riga > Vilnius was absolutely perfect. Laura was so much fun - she was so interesting, had such great information + made the trip so lovely. We had four stops that were all EXCELLENT + we were so happy we took this tour. I highly recommend this to ANYONE who is traveling around the Baltics! The best, EVER! THANK YOU LAURA!

"Very friendly and informative."

Did two tours, both with Laura, would highly recommend, using this company. Everything was well organised and very informative.

"This is the best way to travel between cities!"

We had a fabulous tour! Laura was an amazing guide. She shared so much knowledge, was very flexible for our family of four, and kept us laughing and happy. This was our second city-to-city tour with this company, and I would 100% recommend it as the very best way to travel between cities and see the countryside.

"Excellent way to travel between two capitals and see the sights on the way."

Everything worked well: timeliness, excellent mini bus and very helpful and knowledgeable driver/guide.

"非常棒的體驗"

Laura非常熱情充滿活力，在各個景點也都很專業的介紹歷史背景，行程時間的掌握也很好，讓我們安全到達Vilnius。

"Laura is the best"

We are fortunate to have Laura as our guide....super nice experience

"Best way to travel from Riga to Vilnius"

Very detail explanation about the history and places we visited. Energetic guide.

"Amazing Family Trip!"

We had a great private trip between Vilnius and Riga (we also did Riga to Tallinn), both guides were amazing and the sights we experienced were very interesting. Would thoroughly recommend taking these trips.

"5 stars without a doubt!"

Laura was excellent! Very friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout. Thank you!

"Enjoyable one day"

The itinerary of the tour was good and interesting. The driver/guide Laura was knowledgeable and funny that made the tour even more interesting and uplifting. Well done to Laura!

"Review for tour company and tour guide Laura"

My sister and brother and I , we booked a private van with Traveller Tour Company from Tallinn to Riga, and then from Riga to Vilnius. We were very satisfied with the itineraries for both trips, each taking us to four interesting attractions along the way, and organizing a very pleasurable lunch. I would highly recommend this tour company because I found them to be very organized and professional. I would like to give special recognition and thanks to our tour guide, Laura, who made our trip more enjoyable due to her friendliness and energy, as well as her great knowledge regarding the history of the cities and the attractions.

"100% Recommend"

I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on a tour that surpassed all my expectations in terms of price, activities, and overall experience. This adventure took us on a journey through the enchanting Latvian and Estonian countryside, and it was so much more than just a typical point A to point B excursion. Our day began with a thrilling climb up the Soviet-era Bobsleigh track in Sigulda. From there, we ventured to the medieval Old Town of Cēsis, the charm of this place was absolutely captivating. One of the highlights of the tour was our hike along the sandy cliffs of Sietiņiezis in the Gauja National Park. The natural beauty of this location left me in awe, and the opportunity to connect with nature in such a pristine environment was unforgettable. Our journey continued as we visited the Estonian history and military museum in Valga. We also had lunch here. The tour concluded in the romantic town of Viljandi, where we explored its charming streets and the crumbling crusader castle. It was the perfect ending to a day filled with discovery and adventure. However, what truly set this tour apart was Laura's amazing energy and expertise. She kept us entertained throughout the entire journey, answering all our questions and providing a wealth of information about the Baltic states. Her passion for the region was contagious, and it added an extra layer of depth to our experience. I can't stop raving about this tour. The price was incredibly reasonable for the wealth of experiences it offered. From the thrilling adventures to the historical sites and the incredible energy of our guide Laura, this tour is an absolute must for anyone looking to explore the beauty and history of Latvia and Estonia. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all travellers seeking a memorable and enriching experience.

"Absolutely the best way to transfer!"

I can't recommend this tour enough. We were a group of 8 women traveling together, and this transfer tour made the process of moving all of us (and all of our luggage) from one city to the other not just completely painless, but also genuinely enjoyable. Turning the day into a lovely, relaxed tour where we could get out and wander and see the incredible sights along the way turned what could have been a boring transfer day into a truly memorable part of our trip. The lunch was wonderfully chosen and really a highlight as well. Most of all, our guide Laura just stole the show. She was an absolute delight, and incredibly gracious and accommodating to our big group. I can't recommend this enough!

"Perfect introduction to Lithuania with super-enthusiastic host! "

I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Our guide was Laura (Lau-ra), who was perfect: highly knowledgeable, hugely enthusiastic, and very professional. Highlights of the tour were the Hill Of Crosses, and Salapils Memorial, with additional stops at Rundale Palace and Kaunas. Also have to mention the restaurant Laura took us too for a delicious, Lithuanian lunch. Additional charge, but great value, and super location. Perfect day trip; comfortable minibus, great locations, awesome guide, couldn’t fault it.

"Fantastic tour and highly recommend "

I highly recommend you take the tour! It is incredibly informative, fun and great way to visit sites you would have never been able to otherwise.

" Baltic best! "

Great tour with lots of enthusiasm and fantastic breadth of knowledge and perfect stops

"Great experience with Laura!"

We had such a nice time with our guide Laura, she was super enthusiastic, gave us a lot of information, answered all our questions and gave a lot of more fun facts and interesting stories as well. It was a long but very nice day!

"Amazing trip"

Laura was a fantastic guide who made all of the tour group feel very welcome. The trip was great - we saw multiple places (Kaunas, the Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace and Salaspils memorial) in one day as well as going to a restaurant for delicious Lithuanian food. Each of the stops was fascinating and felt like must-see places so it was brilliant to see them all in one day. Laura told us a lot about each of the stops while also giving us time to explore each on our own. The best way to travel between Vilnius and Riga!

"The best way to travel between Riga and Vilnius! "

This is the best way to see both countries more than just the capital cities and it's the most time-efficient way. So much better than a boring bus ride if you go direct between the 2 cities. I had wanted to visit the Hill of Crosses before coming to this region, and it would have been an extra day's excursion from Vilnius if I hadn't joined this tour. It was a fantastic trip! I also had chance to visit some places that I hadn't heard of before. Laura was very friendly, enthusiastic and fun. I feel very lucky to have her as the guide. Unless you are flying or self-driving, this tour is your best option travelling between Riga and Vilnius!

"Amazing tour from Riga to Vilnius"

The guide has excellent knowledge and skills to explain very well. We spent enough time each spot. Highly recommended if you want to visit both cities.

"Top"

Top trip and top guide.

"Chasing dragons in the Baltics"

Thanks to Laura for a great time travelling between Tallinn and Riga. She was very enthusiastic about her part of the world and shared it with the group. It was nice to see different parts of both countries. The lunch was superb and everyone in the group was pleasantly surprised. This is a great way to travel if you have time.

"Amazing way to travel between Riga and Vilnius!"

The Riga-Vilnius sightseeing tour bus was a perfect way to travel between the two capitals while visiting some hard-to-reach sites in Latvia and Lithuania. The tour was the perfect balance of information offered at each site, free time for exploration, and general fun background info as we drove. Laura was SO much fun, and her upbeat personality kept us all energized for the long day. Our lunch stop was also super delicious.

"Quick way to take the slow road."

Interesting and fun way to travel between Riga and Vilnius. Informative tour guide during the stops. Only negative is that we thought she drove fast!

"Best way to travel from Vilnius to Riga"

Excellent tour to explore beautiful sights on the way from city to another. Laura was the most accomodating guide, she gave us good introductions to all of the sights before we went to explore them independently. Timing was spot on, did not feel rushed and even though this is a full day trip, it was not as exausting as I though before booking. Todella hyvä päiväretki Vilnan ja Riian välillä, lämpimästi voin suositella tätä matkanjärjestäjää. Nähtävyydet ovat käymisen arvoisia paikkoja joihin ei julkisilla pääse perille. Askeleita tulee, mutta mielestäni tämä sopii myös huonomminkin liikkuville koska saa mennä oman tahdin mukaan. Opas Laura oli loistava, antoi hyviä vinkkejä Riikaan ja jos tekee toiseen suuntaan reissun, saa varmasti vielä parempia vinkkejä Vilnaan mistä hän on kotoisin.

"Best transfer tour ever!"

A great way to transfer from Riga to Vilnius. Laura was high energy, passionate about her country and very informative. The day flew by as we visited historical and cultural sights in Latvia and Lithuania,

"Laura is the bomb."

Laura is amazing and full of positive energy. I had a lot of fun on the 12 hour trip. Highly recommend this tour.

"Great way to get local perspectives!"

My husband and I had a wonderful time with Laura! She had great information at each place we went and was very welcoming. We definitely recommend Laura and Traveller Tours and would book with them again in the future!

"An Amazing Experience!"

Our experience with Laura was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of both Latvia and Lithuania. We loved the drive and all the places she took us to. It was great to get the history and then she sent us off to explore on our own. Laura was energetic and engaging and so fun to be with. There was a nice balance between conversation and quiet time as we drove during the 7 hours we were together. I highly recommend this tour. It was the highlight of our time in the Baltic region.

"AWESOME TOUR! LAURA IS THE BEST!"

I had an incredible time at the tour from Riga to Vilnius! Vilnius was a huge surprise and our guide Laura was the warmest, funniest, best guide ever and she made me smile, had a good laugh and learnt a lot about the baltic countries! Thanks Laura ur the best! Loved every minute of this tour!

"Interesting tour"

Laura was punctual and full of energy as a guide... and a true Lithuanian at heart. It is a long day of distance travelling but the sites are worth visiting.. The location for lunch was absolutely beautiful and the food top class! Great trip to do in the summer with a fabulous guide like Laura who gave top recommendations at every stop (I do miss the Traki island castle not being on the itinerary though)

"Best way to see the Baltics!"

We booked the Riga to Tallinn sight-seeing tour. There were a total of six passengers which made the ride very comfortable. Laura was our amazing guide. She is very energetic and fun. It is obvious she loves her country and her job. She gave us a lot of history of both Latvia and Estonia and all of the stops along the way. She also shared with us some restaurant recommendations for Tallinn which we used and very much enjoyed both restaurants. Thank you, Laura and Traveller Tours!

"A great way to get from Riga to Tallinn"

The trip was made exceptionally enjoyable by our guide Laura. Her effusive personality and deep love for the Baltics made the trip a special experience to listen to personal anecdotes that brought alive the culture and history of the Baltics. The pace of the itinerary was well thought out and the stops covered a good variety of nature, history and culture, making it a very convenient way to see smaller attractions outside of the cities that is not that accessible with public transportation. Highly recommend the tour to fellow travellers who are touring the Baltics.

"Worth it!"

Fantastic guide. Very bubbly & knowledgeable. Enjoyed the trip

"surprisingly amazing"

this was my first guided tour and I was quite anxious about it, spending 12h with complete strangers was freaking me out! but Laura was amazing and eased everyone into a nice, educational and fun day trip. It all went flying buy and we all got together nicely. It was a great day to reach our destination!

"What a way to spend a day"

Fantastic trip that turned a dull coach trip into a full day of sight seeing. Loved every second of the trip and the sights throughout. Laura was an amazing guide and kept the energy up and the tunes pumping!

"Great way to transfer between countries "

Laura is very knowledgeable, very funny and extremely friendly. The mini van is comfortable and lots of room for luggage. The stops along the way break up the day and gives you time to wonder around for photos. Disappointing the museum was closed. The bobsleigh track was amazing!!

"Fantastic day and transfer "

What a great way to transfer between countries! Laura was out brilliant tour guide for the day, she is very knowledgeable, very funny and extremely friendly. The mini van is comfortable and lots of room for luggage. The stops along the way break up the day and gives you time to wonder around for photos. Would certainly recommend this as a great way to travel between countries!

"ardievu Riga 🇱🇻, labas Vilnius 🇱🇹"

A great experience and fun way to travel between these locations whilst seeing attractions on the way and learning about the history and culture of the Baltic twins. Laura was a friendly and enthusiastic tour guide and very proud of her Latvian 🇱🇻homeland.

"A Tour, which I strongly recommend!"

A very interesting tour, with a magnificient guide (Laura)! All the more so considering that it provides best value for money!

"Great tour from Riga to Vilnius"

Tour guide was very enthusiastic and fun. Stopped at interesting places, we had enough free time at each stop. Laura gave us a quick over view/history about each of the places we visited. Only 4 people on the tour so nice small group.

"Great way to see the country side on way to Riga!"

We had a wonderful day trip with our tour guide, Laura. She taught us about Baltic culture, history and traditions. We saw some historic sights, nature and had a wonderful lunch. Thank you Laura for a great experience. We would definitely book again.

"Awesome tour, awesome tour guide, awesome."

We booked a private tour for my parents (in their 60s) and I. The tour was excellent, everything was well taken care of by our tour guide, Laura. She was such a lovely and friendly person. I'd highly recommend this tour. Zero complain.

"Outstanding"

This tour trip was outstanding. Laura, our driver and guide, was very competent and informative— and good company. Conversations with the other passengers were also great. The sites visited on the trip were very interesting and meaningful.

"Great tour with Laura!"

Loved my sightseeing trip from Riga to Vilnius with Laura. The van was comfortable and Laura was a great Guide, full of energy with lots of information! The stops on the way were interesting and it was nice to be able to visit places that are a little difficult to get to if you don't have your own transport and are short on time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your sightseeing tour to fellow travellers.

"A great and fun way to get from Vilnius to Riga"

Laura was a really enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide and we had a great time winding our way through the country. Lunch was lovely and the Hill of Crosses was a sight not to miss thats for sure.

"The absolute best way to travel from city to city"

Our guide Laura was very welcoming, knowledgeable and successful in making us excited to visit Lithuania for the first time. The day tour was great value for money in my opinion much better than just catching a coach. We saw interesting stops between Riga + Vilnius that we would have totally missed otherwise. It was a small bus so you were never waiting around for other people. The lunch stop was good, no complaints. Ps traveller tours are really good to deal with, any issues that arise their team are really responsive and professional.

"Excellent Trip"

When travelling between the Baltic capitals its tempting to take the quickest route but that would be a mistake. Instead for a bit more money take the guided sight seeing mini bus / people carrier and see more of Lithuania and Latvia. The vehicle was very comfortable but the highlight was our guide Laura. She was full of information, very chatty and great fun. All in all highly recommended

"Excellent trip and guide"

Brilliant way to see more out-of-the-way places between Riga and Latvia. Laura had endless enthusiasm for her country, and was so helpful. Trip ran on time and comfortable air-conditioned minibus. It's a long day but a fantastic trip, and the only way you're going to see Salaspils, Rundale Palace, Hill of Crosses and Kaunas in one day! Thank you very much - can't recommend enough!

"Lively and fun "

Laura is lively, knowledgeable, and full of energy guide. With her engaging story telling style, she made our 12 hours long tour went by so fast. I woukd strongly recommend her to others.

"Soooo Much Energy :)"

This was a great way to see a little of both Latvia and Lithuania other than the cities, and was made even better by Laura, who had more energy for 12 hours straight than you could possibly imagine. This was my second tour and there were four of us who previously took the Tallinn-Riga bus two days earlier. The only downside is that the lunch restaurant ran out of beer, which I think may have been a capital offense in Lithuania, although the venison sausages were delicious.

"Great trip"

We traveled from Vilnius to Riga with Laura. The meeting point is not clearly described, a map with an X would be helpful. Luckily Laura was searching around for people. Kaunas (1 hour is too short), Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace and Salaspils are great stops. Laura is a good driver and a bottomless pit of energy. Hope to meet you again some day.

"A great option"

I was a little nervous about booking this option for traveling from Riga to Vilnius. I was a solo traveler in my sixties who doesn’t like tours. I shouldn’t have been nervous at all. It was a wonderful way to make the trip, and to see a few things in between. Our guide, Laura, was just delightful — giving us the background of every site we stopped at and, of course, telling us why her hometown of Vilnius was the most wonderful place in the world. The places we stopped — the Salaspils Memorial, Rundale Palace, Hill of Crosses, and Kaunas — were varied and interesting. Sufficient time was allotted at each, and we arrived in Vilnius around 8PM, which at least in my mind was perfect. I recommend this.

"Brighten your day and visit a new city"

Great option for travelling from Riga to Vilnius. Interesting stops and a very entertaining guide/host (Laura). Recommended for singles and couples.

"Very good tour!!"

Thank you, Laura for your amazing job!! We enjoyed the tour and your company!! So glad to join this tour, as the hill of cross and Rundale palace are middle of nowhere, so this moving and sightseeing at the same time tour worked really well for us!!

"Supertour!"

We have made this tour as a private tour with our friends and we were very satisfied about the program and Laura as our guide. She is very enthousiastic to give the information we need and she is a professional and safe driver as well. We had asked to do the tour in 10 hours instead of twelve and sharp 10 hours later we arrived in Riga.

"Fun and Fab"

I highly recommend this sightseeing tour. My family really enjoyed getting out of the capitals to see the countryside and other places unique to the two countries. Laura is an excellent tour guide, energetic and knowledgeable, full of passion about Lithuania and the Baltics.

"Great way to travel in the Baltic countries "

Just believe what they say: we took Vilnius /Riga and Riga/Tallinn tours and both were a great experience and a smart way to travel from one capital to the other while discovering Baltic countries. Laura was an energetic and passionate guide throughout the day.

"Lovely Lithuanian Laura"

Our guide Laura was simply wonderful. Warm and engaging, informative and knowledgeable and highly entertaining. The stops on the way were fascinating. I would highly recommend this as a means of getting from one Baltic city to the other

"A great way to get from Riga to Vilnius "

We loved our tour - led by the enthusiastic and warm Laura. We had 6 passengers in total - four of us (2 kids) and 2 others, so it was nice and small and never felt like a tour group. Laura was fantastic, and we enjoyed every minute.

"Great day out"

This day's itinerary is a bit packed and I'd suggest changing the pacing/ focus a little Maybe just a little longer at the first view stop to wander around. Medininkai Castle was lovely and the right amount of time. But I think more time is needed for Druskininkai - it felt like a long drive for a short visit and there was more we wanted to see there. I think there should be time to see the town and the fountain and the shops. The cable car is ok but not worth the time compared with seeing the town. Grutas Park is an odd place - really just a collection of soviet statues that didn't really work very well as a museum - we would have preferred far less time there (if any, to be honest it can be skipped). I suggest giving people the choice of where they'd like to spend time. Laura our guide was great - this tour company has very high quality guides and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

"Great way to transfer"

I'm a huge fan of transfer tours, even though they are long days, you get to see and do so much! Laura our guide was lovely and flexible in terms of how/where we spent time (though I would suggest some quiet time in the van as too much music can make it hard to relax/ doze off on the road). I really appreciated the way Laura communicates history in a way that we could understand and remember - we learnt a lot! :) The hill of crosses was a surprisingly interesting stop and we got to see the roses blooming at Rundale. Thanks to our fellow traveller Shannon for the excellent company!

"Captivating atmosphere"

First of all: even if the weather is harsh, don't hesitate to take part in this tour! The guide was funny and knowledgeable, and definitely contributed to make this trip even more pleasant. It's been raining with high wind for most of the day, but, honestly, this made even more interesting the experience at Salaspils and the Hill of Crosses. Of course, if you want to fully enjoy the Rundāle Palace Garden with all of its flowers, it is better to book the tour for a sunny day in May or June. St Peter and St Paul Cathedral in Kaunas is literally a piece of jewelry. All highly recommended!

"More than a tour!"

The tour and the guide were first class. A great way of getting to know two countries in one day. Our guide Laura is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She was very good at giving us the facts but then allowing the space for us to explore as well. Thank you Laura for a memorable day!

"Must do if traveling between Baltic capitals!"

Laura our guide was absolutely fantastic. This is a must do if you're travelling between the Baltic capitals. Let's you see sights that you would need a rental car to see and turns a mundane bus trip into a great day of sight seeing. Riga to Vilnius was great, highlights were the rose garden at the Baltic version of versailles. Also had a fabulous lunch at a deer farm Audruvis. Restoranas. The venison carpaccio and beet soup were spot on.

"Super informative and had a blast!"

Laura was the best guide ever! She was fun, energetic and knowledgeable. The sights were interesting and the stops were well-spaced along the route. It was nice to have some time to explore the stops on your own as well as with Laura. Definitely recommend the tour to anyone travelling from Vilnius to Riga.

"Best way to transfer from Tallinn to Riga"

Laura was a passionate and knowledgeable guide. We visited several sites of interest between Tallinn and Riga - so much better than flying or just sitting on a bus - and good value for money. Our kids (8 and 10) managed the trip fine, despite it being a really long day (11 hours). I certainly recommend this trip. The only reason I score 4 rather than 5 stars is because I didn't get quite as much from the places that we visited as I did from the Riga - Vilnius trip (we did this a couple of days later), but that's a personal preference!

"Great Way to See the Latvian and Lithuanian Countryside"

We loved everything about the tour! Great way to see the countryside—places where we wouldn't be able to get on our own. Laura, the guide, was excellent.

"Amazing Tour Guide"

We had a wonderful experience made even better with our terrific tour guide Laura! She was super friendly and knowledgeable. With several different parties on the trip, she still made us feel like friends. Plus her music play list along the drive was fantastic. Highly recommend this trip!

"Great tour! "

The tour from Vilnius to Riga was fantastic! Our guide, Laura, was amazing: funny, knowledgeable, and helpful. Each of the stops was interesting, and there was more than enough time to see everything. Laura made Lithuanian and Latvian history interesting, personal, and relatable.

"Must See Sights from Riga to Vilnius!"

Such a fun trip from Riga to Tallinn. I’m so glad we had enough people to do the tour as I can’t imagine my Baltics trip without it. All of the stops along the way are “must see” so this is an excellent way to do a road trip but with a local guide. Laura was so energetic and fun and really exuded love for her homeland and knowledge of the history. We paid to do a quick tour inside Rundale Palace (only the gardens are included in the tour) which is good because it started pouring rain. The time allotted for Kaunas was enough to really take in the old town and see the castle. Highly recommend!

"Wonderful tour"

Our guide Laura was not only knowable and enthusiastic but kind. She was given a tour with a 70 year age span and was able to meet everyone’s needs. We enjoyed all the sights more because of her.

"Splendid way to your and travel "

I don’t often give reviews but I have to say this was a spectacular tour and way to travel. This tour was a great value and effective way to see many different amazing things while also transporting you from Riga to Vilnius, the best possible way to travel because otherwise you would miss so much outside of the city centers! Laura, my guide, was so energetic and happy and was thrilled to share her love for her country and culture. Strongly recommend

"Great tour from Riga to Vilnius with great guide Laura"

It was a great tour to visit several places on the way from Riga to Vilnius. Our lovely Lithuanian guide Laura was excellent and very knowledgeable! Great to have her as our guide! Our group was just 4 of us plus guide, so very relaxing and at home. Easy to be friends and raise questions on the way. Overall it was great tour, worth the cost and would like to recommend to all who travel among Baltic countries.

"Great day"

The vehicle was clean and comfortable. The guide was nice, respectful, and a good driver. The amount of time spent on each site was adequate.

"Great tour idea. Great tour guide"

The tour is perfect because it takes you from point A to point B and you experience some great sightseeing places along the way. But the best part wax the tour guide. Laura is fabulous. She is informative and fun.

"Very informative tour"

It was a well-planned and very informative tour arranged by Traveller. Laura is a very knowledgeable guide who helped us to understand the history of Latvia and Lithuania.

"Best of both countries outside capitals"

Private tour, very nice and funny guide, very nice tour, just way too cold :D not the best weather. And if you like roses and if you really want to see the roses garden, don't go in may :D if you are not interested in roses like me, you can do it whenever you want

"Great experience"

Laura was an amazing guide. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable. We travelled from Latvia to Lithuania and she gave us an amazing introduction to the country, its people, history, food, music etc. We're grateful we got to spend the day with a local and share stories about our countries. The sites we visited were interesting and enjoyable. Thank you for this experience. Highly recommended!

"A fun and interesting way to travel from Vilnius to Riga"

We were a group of eight friends who decided to use this tour to get to Riga. It was a great decision. We got to visit the town of Kaunas that we otherwise wouldn’t have seen. The stop at the Hill of Crosses was both eerie and interesting. We were then lucky to have the most beautiful light when we got to Rundale Palace. Because we travelled in the very late Autumn, the days were short and saw the most beautiful sunset there. Laura, our guide, was enthusiastic and gave a fantastic energy to the whole tour and agreed without hesitation to try to see Salsapils in pitch darkness. Thanks to one of our friend’s strong photography lighting we got to experience this place in a very different way. It was intensely emotional. All in all, we had fun and saw so much more than we would otherwise. For a great price. Thank you!

"Really the best of Vilnius and Trakai castel day tour!"

We took this toor in our last day in Vilnius. The guide Laura was amazing! She presented us Vilnius old town with it’s beautiful historic monuments and Trakai National Park with the majestic medieval island castle, traditional village and romantic manor which are all sorunded by nature! PS: Vilnius it’s a very green city!

"Fantastic way to get between Vilnius and Riga"

Highly recommend this tour to allow you to see some of the most interesting sights whilst also accomplishing the need to travel between the two cities. My personal favourite was the hill of crosses just because it is so unusual, but Rundale Palace is also a star stop. Laura was an excellent guide, bubbling with enthusiasm and highly enthusiastic!

"Great InfoTour crossing the Lethoanian and Latvian border"

We are proud to be the first on tour after Corona shutdown. Our guide was really entertaining giving us a lot of insider information about country, history and people. Safe driver.

"Fantastic !"

We learnt a lot about People and history and discovered Lithuania and Latvia with news eyes. Laura was very entertaining and nice and this day was very pleasant. A Must!

"Great day"

Great opportunity to visit remote places and learn more about Lithuania and Latvia. Laura was super nice, it was like travelling with friends! I cannot think of a better way to get from one capital to the other. Highly recommend this tour!

"Latvia to Lithuania "

Laura was an amazing host! She knew so much about both countries and was such a lovely person! Was such a better way of getting from Latvia to Lithuania rather than booking the normal coach!

"Easy, Fun, and a great way to see and explore the sights"

My original plan was to just take Lux Express directly to Riga but i thought seeing more of Lithuanian would be awesome so i signed up for the trip. In the end it was the right choice. I was able to explore more places and understand more the history of Lithuania because we had a really good guide and she answered all my questions and gave even more info. I was travelling alone and the ride was comfortable and company was definitely more entertaining than strangers on a bus. Highly recommended. (Also, thanks Laura.)

"Great choice to travel from one city to another"

Laura was super kind and she gave us a lot of information. The ride was very comfortable with a great selection of music :). The restaurant where we had lunch was very nice with tasty food. On sight seeing stops we had enough time to explore. I would absolutely recommend this tour.

"I will recommend to anyone!"

Great, energetic, funny, enthusiastic, young, prepared tourist guide. Excellent driver and ... even singer with a good playlist! The this trip seems perfect, good schedulation between every spot in Latvia and Lithuania. I would have been liked also Trakai castle but it could be too much in a day :)

"Rīga to Vilnius "

Laura was our tour leader - she was great. Great tour would recommend as it’s difficult to get to the hill of crosses and the palace otherwise.

"Fantastic Tour with Laura"

We took the tour from Vilnius to Riga with Laura and had a blast. The tour was wonderful and Laura was full of energy and interesting facts about the places we stopped. We got to see several sights that would have otherwise not visited on the way.

"Best way to go from Riga to Vilnius"

Our trip was very cool and our guide told us about Lituania with a lot of energy ! Christmas market in Kaunas was awesome.

"Amazing tour"

Laura was amazing, straight from the get go. So energetic meeting us at the hotel, very knowledgeable about everything and a very enthusiastic about her job. We had a great time with her and really enjoyed being with her. We could’ve easily have spent another couple of hours with her. Would love to see her in future and/or do another tour with her in the future. Thank you for an amazing day. Tom/Paul/Dorothy/Harry

"Vilnius to Riga Tour with the amazing Laura, Achiu!"

Booking the tour was simple with clear communication and payment process. Our guide, Laura met us at our meeting point on time and quickly got everyone feeling super relaxed with her fun and exciting personality. Laura was knowledgeable, funny, with great energy and a safe driver. Big thank you for a great experience for a special occasion. Sincerely recommending this tour! Achiu! D&A

"Perfect"

Everything was perfect.

"Great way to get to know the country"

It’s been good fun, Laura was knowledgeable, a great driver and honestly, we managed to see so much! Can only recommend

"Excellent Tour Riga to Vilnius!"

Excellent Tour! Laura was wonderful! She is very enthusiastic, personable, a great driver, and made many accomodations on the fly to keep everyone happy. She did a fabulous job. I'm so happy we took this tour and got to see so many other wonderful places that we otherwise would have missed and had a fabulous lunch as well. Thank you Laura and Riga Traveler!

"Superb trip"

Good value trip, enthusiastic guide, really interesting sights. Laura was excellent and very knowledgable

"Nice way to know more about Baltic countries"

We were a group of four friends that had just a week to visit Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. This tour made us to know more than Vilnius or Riga, making friends and assisted by Laura, who was very close and nice. We liked the places we visited in a minivan for 8 people. You are allowed to talk, to drink or eat in the minivan and the fact of being just 8 provided us agility and comfort.

"A perfect trip!"

Ok, my opinion could be affected by the fact that everyone on this tour was extremely nice: starting from Laura, our funny and exuberant guide, to the other amazing travellers with whom I soon formed a little family! The trip itself went through several locations which covered both the cultural/historical aspect and the sightseeing one. I learnt a lot of interesting facts well explained by Laura, who often also put a smile on our faces. I'm really glad that I joined this tour and I totally recommend it!

"Highly recommended "

One of the best tour I have ever joined. Convenient for travelling from Vilnius to Riga and visiting hill of crosses and Rundāle palace. Our guide Laura is so friendly and nice. We Glad to have her for our trip!

"Trakai"

Interesting visits. Guide was friendly and had great knowledge. Adapted to the size of the group. Highly recommended as an easy way to see Trakai and the surrounding area. Thanks :)

"Wonderful Baltic Experience"

A wonderful way to see parts of Latvia and Estonia you wouldn't get to see otherwise. Also a great way to meet other people. Our guide was lovely and had so much energy. Would highly recommend this tour.

"Most Enjoyable Tour"

Rundale Palace is a lovely czarist summer palace without the crowds of St. Petersburg and with wonderful rose gardens. It has only been open to the public for 5 years, so I expect that additional restoration work is planned for some of the rooms that don’t have the glitz of the fully restored rooms. The Hill of Crosses was very moving. Our tour guide, Laura, was amazing: very knowledgeable, outgoing and interacted so well with us. Her English is excellent and she projects her voice loud enough that she could be heard throughout our van.

"A wonderful one!"

Our tour guide was Laura. She is professional from warming us up to sharing with us what we are supposed to know about the scenes and history throughout the tour. What's more, she's an excellent driver, making the travel comfortable. Concerning the tour spots, I would suggest adding another half-hour stay at Kaunas. All in all, I highly recommend this to everyone planning to travel from Riga to Vilnius.

"Get tour with a great guide!"

Laura was so much fun and made the tour extra wonderful. She loves her country and was very happy to share its history with us! It was a really nice day.

"Enthusiastic, Exciting, Enjoyable"

Fantastic way to travel from Riga to Vilnius, stopped off at some great places along the way! Enthusiastic tour guide kept it all interesting the whole time, lots of energy. Highly recommend anyone travelling between the two cities to try this, you get to see so much more than just capitals. Bring a good camera and energy and it'll be even better.

"Brilliant day tour!"

We had the best day exploring Lithuania and Latvia with Laura, she was really fun and informative, and gave us a great history of the places that we visited. The group was small which meant that we got to know each other really well, and the van was comfortable for such a long drive. I'd go back to the Baltics just to do another of these tours! Thank you Laura!

"Great Experience!"

tour guide is very kind and humorous. She has great enthusiasm for Lithuania. we have a good time！

"Excellent Tour!!"

Took the tour from Riga to Vilnius. Stops included: Salaspils Memorial, Rundale Palace, Hill of Crosses and Kaunas. Along the way there was a stop for lunch (pay for yourself). Overall the tour was extremely well done, there was ample opportunity to explore at each location with the guide providing some history and information at each stop. Our guide was also top-notch and was able to not only give a great rundown of the history for each location but was also able to add some personal anecdotes. Would highly recommend as a way to get between cities while being able to see some of the countryside.

"Makes transit travel interesting and enjoyable"

Rather than taking the normal bus between Riga and Vilnius we decided to take this tour. Very happy with our decision. Laura was a great host with infectitious personality. Knowledgeable and provided insight into history of both countries. Visits to locations that we would not have seen. Hill of Crosses was highlight. Recommend.

"Wonderful!!"

Nice arrangement and good tour guide!!

"Fantastic"

It was superb day spent with friendly people and in wonderful environment. Laura, our guide, was super, very talktive (in a good way), and helpful. That was enough time for every stop and visit.

"Do this tour! "

Four of us booked this tour and even with the maximum eight, the bus wasn't too cramped. It sounds like a long bus journey but its neatly divided by four stops, two in Latvia, two in Lithuania so doesn't feel too onerous. All three sightseeing stops were great and few people around. Lunch was the fourth! Laura gave us plenty of information on each stop and general history of both countries. She was also an excellent driver! Would recommend.

"A Surprisingly Touching and Wonderful Day"

The day tour from Riga to Vilnius was wonderful. We stopped at four beautiful sites which I had not known anything about. Two of them, Salispils in Latvia and Hill of Crosses in Lithuania, were emotionally very moving. Our impassioned tour guide, a young Lithuanian lady, was extremely knowledgeable, humorous, and lively. I learned a lot on the tour and saw some extremely lovely places. I recommend taking this tour to anyone who wants to go from Riga to Vilnius. I also took the one from Tallinn to Riga, and would make the same recommendation.

"Great day of culture"

Guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend her

"excellence experience"

Guide very helpfull in describing the place and we had fun experience during our tour, very highly recommend.

"Great choice "

Definitely I will recommend this bus one day tower to someo move to riga or between vilnius, riga,Tallinn. It was a great experience to get know the places which I wanted see but not easy to get there. Guide was very kind and knowledgeable,too

"12 hours of friendship!!!"

we are 8 travelers coming from different countries plus our very energetic/informative tour guide/driver, LAuraaaaa..... and we build 12 hours of friendship,from concentration Camp to Rundale Palace and in between we have a Lunch, 30 mins from the restaurant is Hill of Cross and off to Kaunas... and finally around 8:30Pm we arrived to Vilnius. It was a Great Day for all of us...

"THE BEST TOUR EVER!!!"

Ahhhh.. I couldn’t exactly put into words how happy and contented we are. It was an AMAZING tour with LAWWWWRA (Laura)! She’s amazing 😉 There are no dull moments at all. She’s informative, energetic, friendly and obviously witty (Oh, and a great singer,too! 😉) We travelled for about 11 and half hours with 5 stops including the lunch and I will tell you guys, paying 65€ for a full day tour is all worth it!! I highly recommend this tour. Good job,guys! Til next time!

"Fabulous day!"

Had a long but thoroughly enjoyable day travelling from Riga to Vilnius via the Salaspils Memorial, Rundale Palace, Hill of Crosses and Kaunas. Our stop off for lunch was also good, the meal was tasty and good value. The eight-seater transport was very comfortable and air-conditioned and the itinerary interesting, but the real star was our guide Laura, from Lithuania. It's not often you meet a guide so energetic, knowledgeable, friendly and with near-perfect English. Such a lot of fun too, an absolute gem. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone, many thanks Laura!

"Vilnius to Riga "

Really funny and prossional guide. All stops were really interesting and we had time to visit the places and relax in the same moment. Nice stop for lunch! Thanks Laura for the great Sunday.

"Great experience "

We had an amazing experience travelling from Riga to Vilnius. Thank you to our tour guide Laura who was full of energy and very knowledgeable. Ačiū Laura!

"8 go to Vilnius "

Interesting trip good stop overs and it was great to get to Vilnius by 8pm ( a bit too speedy at times) Lunch stop was not as good as our one travelling from Tallin to Riga Guide was a bit over the top at times and rather dismissive of the other Baltic states She did deliver us very close to our destination which was a real bonus

"Different way"

I really appreciate this escursion! Laura is very friendly and professional also.

"Excellent"

It was a very nice experience. We visited places that we propably would not be able to visit by ouselves (apart from Kaunas). Our guide was excellent, kind, educated and told us everything about the history of each place we visited. The only thing we would recommend is a little more time in Kaunas (2 hours instead of 1).

"Perfect. Professionele organisatie met ervaren gidsen. Maakt het reizen van A naar B aangenaam. "

Koppel het aangename aan het noodzakelijk en maak van je verplaatsing een leerrijke en plezante uitstap. Professionele organisatie met een erg toffe gids (Laura). Niet aarzelen, doen!

"Lithuania Latvia with a Twist"

Our guide Laura was very energetic and eager to share about Lithuanian and Latvian culture, history and sceneries... I felt her passion and dedication to bring out the best as we travel together...

"A great trip"

We did the bus tour Riga-Tallin. Laura was our guide/driver. A great experience: we just needed to travel one-way from Riga to Tallin and we decided to book the tour instead of a conventional bus or train ticket. We spent a nice and funny day. The tour is well organized, no rush and you can merge a transfer trip with a visit of some of the best Latvian and Estonian location. A special thanks to Laura (she is really one of the most energetics and positive person I have ever met) who was able to entertain us during the whole trip. Totally recommended and a must-go trip if you have to travel through Baltic capitals

"Riga to Vilnius "

Really enjoyed the trip from Riga to Vilnius. The stops were all very interesting and Laura our tour guide was over flowing with energy and enthusiasm. Lunch selections were limited if you didn't want venison.

"What a personality!"

Our 12-hour excursion from Tallinn to Riga was exceptional. Our leader/driver Laura had a fabulous personality and was very knowledgeable. She also comfortably accommodated all 8 people in the group. When she didn’t know an answer she found out before leaving that stop. I couldn’t think of a better way to travel between Estonia and Latvia. Thank you!

"Great tour"

It was a great tour! We had a full but not exhausting day. We got to go to many places that we couldn't have gotten to on our own with public transportation, and the sightseeing broke up what would otherwise have been a long journey. Our guide was also very enthusiastic and fun. Highly recommended!

"Wonderful trip and wonderful guild."

Really enjoy this tour from start to finish. Highly recommended it.

"Good trip with good people!"

Nice way for discovery the countryside of Lithuania and Latvia. Laura, our guide, she's a super funny girl! The only thing I did not like is that, although Laura was very good and super nice, the tourist guide is very superficial compared to the price per person that is paid.

"Fun and informative"

The tour was perfect. We learnt a lot about history and Laura, our guide, made everything funny. She was so joyful and energetic! We really enjoyed Rundala Palace, it is a beautiful place

"Perfect way of getting from Riga to Vilnius"

Booking of the tour was very easy, no endless forms to fill in, wire through CC or Paypal. Laura was a great guide, sharing a lot of her knowledge with us. We had enough time at each stop and defenitely recommend this trip. If you get Laura as a guide you can count yourself very lucky!

"Geat experience "

Il tuor da Riga a Vilnius è stato piacevole e le mete visitate sono davvero suggestive e meritano una visita. - Collina delle croci - Kaunas Laura è stata un'ottima guida , simpaticissima e dolce , veramente brava , complimenti!

"Brilliant way to travel from Vilnius to Riga"

Our knowledgeable and very sympathetic guide Laura made sure, that our group of eight tourists from Canada, Greece, Italy and Germany had a good time. The stops were well planned with the right amount of time. Before visiting the Hill of Crosses, we stopped at a nice restaurant and had a delicious lunch. I highly recommend this tour!

"Awesome Tour"

I would definitely recommend the tour. Our guide Laura is knowledgeable and fun, she made sure everyone had a great day!

"Fun in the rain"

Great way to get from Riga to Vilnius. Interesting stops along the way that I probably would not have visited on my own, including the Salaspils Memorial and the Hill of Crosses. The best part of the day was our guide, Laura, who was entertaining, informative, and positive all day long, despite some really dreary weather.

"Laura was amazing "

I have never been on a tour with a guide who had such energy and enthusiasm. Laura’s love for her country of Lithuania was contagious.

"It was amazing"

We had such a spirited tour guide, Laura, who made all the difference. She was knowledgeable and her energy levels were so good! So, all the stops we made along the way were right up my alley - the holocaust memorial, the hills of crosses, the palace on the Latvian Lithuanian border. The whole trip was my money's worth. You guys should seriously considering charging more because it is so worth it. The lunch halt was also in a very nice restaurant. In all it's for whoever wants to see the Baltics in its raw beauty.

"From Vilnius to Riga"

The guide is great and lovely. We all visited Kanuas and Trakai are beautiful.

"lohnt sich"

Laura hat alles gegeben. Sie hat dafür gesorgt, dass sich alle in unserer kleinen Gruppe wohlfühlen. Sie hat nicht nur locker, lustig die Sehenswürdigkeiten erklärt, sondern auch Ihr Litauen uns näher gebracht. Angenehme Fahrt.

"Enthusiastic guide through latvia and lithuania."

Laura was a great guide: fun, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Laura made the trip a real pleasure.

"Enthusiastic travel to Vilnius"

A very good guide with a big heart and good knowledge of the area. Interesting places to see.

"Riga to Vilnius on a rainy day"

The stops were interesting and Laura was very fun and energetic. However, I think guests should be able to choose whether to visit the garden or the inside of the Rundale palace. For us, the inside was more interesting than the garden (we had seen quite LOTs of palace gardens) and I think if we decide to pay a combo ticket (paying additional cost), the total would be cheaper?

"Cool experience"

It was a great experience to see more than just the capital and getting to know more of the two countries. We loved the ride and the conversation with our guide.

"What a fun day!"

We loved our trip with Laura! She was full of information and delivered it so energetically that even the kids loved learning all the history. Great trip!!!

"The best way to travel between cities "

Our guide Laura was one of the most enthusiastic people I've ever met and her energy didn't falter once throughout the day. She tried to teach us a couple of Lithuanian phrases and explain the culture too which was really great to hear from a personal experience rather than from a book or website. The tour was good to see more of Latvia and Lithuania than just the capitals. The Salaspils memorial was worth seeing although very poignant and definitely made you feel the tragedy that occurred there. The only things that could be improved is maybe the guide being slightly quieter at the memorial as it felt a bit uncomfortable her doing the history so loudly as we were walking through. May be better to stop and group us around to talk for this site. Also, there was a lot of Abba on the bus- this may or may not be good depending on your view!

"Great Tour"

We booked for a family group of 10. It was a great service. Pick up from the hotel in Riga and drop off at the hotel in Tallinn. Great stops along the way, nice restaurant for lunch - and pre/ordering was a great idea to keep our big group on schedule. They were wonderfully flexible with start and finish times and stops on the way. Thx to Laura for her knowledge and energy for our very tired group!

"Comfortable but not cheap. "

Sights we saw were cool but all no cost but the one garden - which they pay entrance for - four Euros. Lunch not included, so the 65 Euros seems a bit much for the tour. Remember that 12 hours can also be a bit long. But, if you don't have another way to see these sights and you want to see these particular things, then this is the way to go. Laura was energetic but lacked in the guiding area in terms of recommendations or advice of bathrooms or what to see when you have free time.

"Very engaged and interesting "

Laura is excellent - she will greet you with such high spirit in the early morning and remains cheerful throughout the day. She makes the entire tour really engaging by sharing with you many ‘secrets’. The journey from Riga to Vilnius has indeed become a truly interesting experience!

"Fun, sociable and educational. Another great day."

Laura was a highly dynamic guide, passionate and informed about her home country of Lithuania and the Baltic states in general. We had previously done the Tallinn to Riga tour so our expectations were high and we were not disappointed. Again it was really nice meeting a small group of people from all over the world and spending some time with them doing interesting stops that naturally sparked conversations. The stops on the tour were varied, quite different from the Tallin to Riga tour, well structured and thought out. The restaurant we ate lunch in had a tasty, locally inspired menu at reasonable prices.

"Wonderful excursion "

Very heartfelt and exciting guide was very interesting

"Yes, go!"

Trains are an option, but this bus service is great for those who like seeing more than just city centers. Guides were fun & knowledgeable. The crowd was mixed: younger & older, travelers from many countries but all in English.

"What a day!"

Our driver had great enthusiasm and was very positive. My only question is about the length of time at certain stops. I would’ve preferred much more time at Salaspils and Rundale Palace, and far less time (or not even stop) in Kaunas. Also, at Rundale, I wish we were given an option whether to see the gardens or the inside. (We were provided only a ticket to the garden.) I paid for my own entrance to the Palace, but had to walk fast to see it due to the short time there. These are just my opinions... But otherwise, Traveler Tours are a great way to see more of the countryside & harder to reach on your own places, and I recommend them!!

"Most enthusiastic and knowleable tour from Vilnius to Riga"

Highly recommend this very interesting tour. Our guide Laura was super enthusiastic and knowledgable. * The city of Kaunas was charming. * The Hill of Crosses pilgrimage site was both somber and uplifting. We left a cross there for loved ones in our prayers. * Rundāle palace was grand and beautiful. * The Salaspils Memorial to victims of Fascism (Lithuanians and Jews) with its large stark somber monument and emotion evoking figures reminded us of the tens of thousands killed by the Nazis...even though created by the Russians who killed many more.

"Super moyen d'aller de Vilnius à Riga"

Certes, c'est 4 fois plus cher qu'un bus direct, mais pour 65 euros vous vous arrêtez à Kaunas, à la colline aux 100 000 croix, au château de Rundale et au mémorial de l'holocauste, avec en plus les commentaires très intéressants d'une jeune guide ( ce jour-là c'était Laura ), hyper sympathique et très dynamique. Franchement, c'est un très bon plan. Le voyage dure 11h00 ( au lieu de 4 avec un bus direct), c'est dire que l'on prend notre temps aux divers arrêts.

"Value for money tour!"

We could go many places both countries. It was difficult for us to go these places by ourselves. If you do not time, this tour is really recommend to join. Tour guide is really nice. She has good knowledge and sense of humor.

"Great Tour for everybody!"

I hesitated to join this tour because I was not English speaker,but it was wrong.Laura -our guide-was very friendly,kind and energetic.She welcomed all of us and guided with a lot of knowledge. Her English is easy to understand for non-English speaker like me.We were 8 people and it was good size.Everybody in this tour accepted me like as a friend.We had a great day together.This tour is the best way from Riga to Vilnius!

"Great tour, excellent guide!"

Laura our guide was brilliant! She was funny, extremely enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. The sights we went to see we’re really interesting, and not crowded at all as they were off the beaten track & away from where most other tourists go. It was a fun way to see the Baltics. I wanted to give this tour 5 stars but I found the minivan to be very uncomfortable to spend 11 hours travelling in. A few hours would be ok but for a whole day of travelling it would be nice to be in a less cramped bumpy small vehicle. But other than that, great tour, highly recommend it

"Tour leader and small groups WINNER"

Thoroughly enjoyable trip. Great way to travel from Riga to Vilnius. Laura very entertaining and informative tour leader. Good size group, loved the mix of backgrounds.

"Everything you wanted but didn’t know it!"

Laura welcomed us and made it possible for a very disparate group to become adventure buddies! Laura’s knowledge and people skills kept us willingly on our toes throughout the day (which flashed by) She negotiated times with us, was kind and respectful. Nobody was left out or behind. Everything was done with a light touch and where possible her irrepressible sense of humour. There were serious times, when we visited the concentration camp in Latvia. Her knowledge about the places we visited and the history of the Baltic states gave me many more insights than my reading. She made the history real, human and where appropriate, funny. I have never been on a guided tour before but this has encouraged me. The day was fabulous, the lunch, the palace, the hill of crosses. My diary entry has gone on for pages rather than the usual brief notes. I will always remember that day and I know that my fellow adventurers will. Thankyou Laura, for a special, wonderful day. I will never forget it. Oh - not forgetting her beautiful rendition of the lullaby her mother sang to her!

"Laura is the BEST"

We really enjoyed our day tour from Riga to Vilnius and could not recommend it more. It's an excellent way to make one's way between the capitals while also visiting interesting places along the way. The trip really appealed to me because instead of losing half a day to travel, you get a fully packed sightseeing day. The tour did NOT disappoint. We had an incredible guide - Laura - who was just a pleasure to spend the day with. She was very informative about all the sites AND she had amazing energy throughout the day. She was so enthusiastic and friendly and energetic that it felt like we were traveling with a new friend! It's great to spend time with someone who seems to be truly excited about her job. She provided a great introduction to Lithuania for us and she told us a lot about the region and the country. Overall, after a packed 10 day tour, the day we spent with Laura was one of the highlights for all four of us. Highly Recommend!

"Great time with great people"

Tour was educational, interesting and the guides were entertaining and educated. By the end of it it felt like a road trip with friends more than a guided tour. Shout out to icetea

"Most enthusiastic and knowleable tour from Riga"

Highly recommend this very interesting tour. Our guide Laura was super enthusiastic and knowledgable. * The Hill of Crosses pilgrimage site was both somber and uplifting. We left a cross there for loved ones in our prayers. * Rundāle palace was grand and beautiful.

"Laura is a professional guide"

Laura is a professional guide, with lots of knowledge, And an excellent driver. Very nice and courteous. We had a great time with her on the trip

"Seeing between the cities."

We enjoyed the day. The guide was knowledgeable about the places we visited, the complex history of these countries and various questions that we asked. We would recommend this as a good way to learn as you travel and to see things between the cities that you would not on a train or intercity bus.

"Perfect Day"

Well organized!

"Wonderful way to travel from Riga to Tallinn"

If you want to get from Riga to Tallinn and see the sights along the way, then this is the way to travel. Laura was our driver and guide and entertained us all the way with her knowledge (her mother is a history teacher) and her talent (she sang a song for us at the beautiful medieval castle at Viljandi). It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and one of the highlights of our trip around the Baltic countries.

"You need to do this !"

I enjoyed the trip very much, not just a boring road journey from Tallinn to Riga. Our guide Laura is hilarious, knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Highly recommend.

"Entertaining trip Vilnius to Riga"

A lively entertains trip from Vilnius to Riga. Way better than a bus or plane. Our guide and driver, Laura, presented a current day cultural view of Lithuania, Latvia, and famous sights along the way. Riding in a 9 passenger, air conditioned van, we saw more than all day trips combined as we zig-zagged our way to Trakai, Kaunas, Hill of Crosses, Rundale, and Salaspils. We stopped for lunch at an authentic Lithuanian restaurant. The narrative was entertaining, informative, and funny. I met some delightful people from the UK, Netherlands, US, and Ireland. I would highly recommend it for solo and couple travelers

"Best way to travel from Riga to Vilnius!"

We had a private bus tour from Riga to Vilnius and we are really glad that we did it in this way, otherwise it would be impossible to have visited so many places in one day if we had done it by public transportation. It was so much easier when travelling with kids and big luggages. And we learned so much about the history of the Baltic countries (especially Lithuania!). Laura is a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable, helpful, funny with great personality! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who travel through the Baltic countries!

"Best way to get between the cities, totaly worth 12 hours of your time! "

I hate getting frustrated and in general that's why I put my expectations so low about everything. When I saw a 12 hours tour stuck with strangers I thought: man, that's going to be either a total crap or a exhausting experience. My thoughts were wrong, that was an AMAZING experience! And I would say, the success was solely thanks to our guide driver: Laura was is her name (make sure you get the pronunciation correct mate). But to give you a brief explanation about my day: When she first spoke at like 7:50 AM (so full of energy), I was hangover, with a headache after a big night out with drinks, I thought: This is going to be a DISASTER! But what I thought was going power my irritability (her endless energy) was the biggest blessing of the day. It was by her energy that the trip turned out to be one of the ones I will never forget! She really turned around the wheel and showed the amazing sights between Riga, Vilnius and everything in between with the honesty and passion that only a truly wonderful local would be able to do. If "Traveler Tours" have chosen her to be their driver, trust me and my partner who was with me, they know what they are doing! Be aware readers, to change my mood (I'm such a grumpy person) it's one achievement that It's really rare. I still follow her on insta just to get a glimpse of the amazing places she visits and the endless energy that she emanates. Make sure you get Laura as your driver, but if you don't I'm sure it will be an amazing experience anyway. Also, think about it: the alternative is a bleak cold buss, that goes from city to city bypassing everything in between. I could be telling you about the places I've visited (that you would not visit if you chose the cold and bleak buss). Places that are so unearthly (like the Hill of Crosses) that I would not be able to put down in words. Or I could tell you about the castles, that are stunning (but mostly rebuilt from after war), but I could never explain the memories and the passions built in the stories that our driver did. Thank you so much Laura! <3 Bottom line: If you came to read the reviews it's probably because you are unsure if it's worth your time&money. I've already given you the answer so: there are LIMITED spots, don't waste your time, just book it. By the time you read this might be none left, sorry. To the lonely travelers: best opportunity to make friends!!!

"Best way to travel from Vilnius to Riga!"

I loved this day trip going from Vilnius to Riga. We had a small group, so it was very personable and our tour guide, Laura, was amazing. The stops we made were really the best places between Vilnius and Riga, and at each one we had a little time to check things out. Yes, you may want to spend more time at Trakai, or Kaunas, but because I knew our time was limited we went to these places the day before. We spent our time at Rundale exploring the gardens, if we had more time I suppose we would've checked out the interior too. Truly, the best part of the trip was our guide/driver, Laura, her knowledge and fun attitude kept us all laughing and learning the entire trip. I would definitely recommend this as the best way to travel from Vilnius to Riga!!

"Fun"

This is a great tour to travel from Riga to Vilnius as we saw many important attractions along the way. It's a great way to meet other travellers from all over the world as we had 5 nationalities among the 8 of us! Laura was lots of fun to be with and was very kind to have dropped us off at our lodging. Highly recommend this tour.

"It is the highlight of our trip! "

I am glad that such a wonderful idea with one way travel is created by this company. The itinerary is well planned that covered most of the interesting sites, like the round Palace and the hill of the crosses, the Trakai castle island and Kaunas. All in one day! You save a lot of time and money. The guide, Laura, is very professional and full of enthusiastic in telling us about the history background of the sites. We had a great time and good weather. I really recommend this tour to everyone! It worth the money!

"Would Definitely Recommend!"

I had never done anything like this before so it was a really interesting experience! I would definitely recommend it as a way of travelling between two cities as long as you have the time. As for the tour itself, our guide was very enthusiastic and informative and each of the sights were unique and played an important part in the history of Lithuania and Latvia, which was great to hear and learn about.

"Fantastic Tour!"

We had an excellent time while travelling with Laura. She provided us with many information about the places we visit (Trakai Castle, Hills of Crosses, Rundāle palace's gardens and Salaspils Memorial Ensemble), which were truly fascinating! I strongly recommend this tour!

"Best way to travel between these two capitals"

My husband and I traveled between Tallinn and Riga spending a day stopping at interesting destinations. We had a very small group which was great for us because we were able to interact more with our guide. By sheer coincidence at one of our stops (a palace and gardens), we were able to see an opulent wedding. Great way to learn Estonian and Latvian history while traveling between these two small countries!

"Awesome"

It was the perfect tour, taking me from Tallinn to Riga and visiting sights in between. My guide was super friendly and informative and the group was fun to converse with.

"Sightseeing with pizazz!"

The perfect way to get from Riga to Tallinn. Laura, from Vilnius, was an energetic and informative guide, keeping it fun at the same time. She seemed to be having a good time and that made us have a good time as well.

"Laura, the best guide ever!"

The trip itself was very interesting, but Laura with her gags and her simpathy added something more. PERRRFETTO!!

"Wonderful trip"

It’s the best option for Tallinn-Riga trip. Laura (LT) made the journey very enjoyable. Great experience, I recommend it.

"Really enjoyable day"

Great trip with Laura from Vilnius from Tallinn to Riga . Really makes it enjoyable to be led y someone who enjoys their job so much and is extremely knowledgeable as well. You really get a much better experience and understanding of the two countries being with someone like this

"Amazing day tour"

It was a very interesting and informative day tour. Laura is an excellent tour guide and a very funny person. Overall it was an enjoyable tour.

"Tallin to Riga road trip"

"Amazing Tour!!"

It was just the perfect way to travel between Tallinn and Riga!! Perfect landscapes and stops, just the perfect balance about hystory, fun facts, places, and timing. Our amazing guide Laura, was fun and enthusiastic, also very kind and helpfull! For everyone that will make a tour trough the Baltic Countries in a small time is a very nice option to do it!

"Tallin to Riga road trip"

Excellent experience. Very enthusiastic guide who takes the time to explain all the sites and also let you explore at your own.

"Do not miss!"

Very interesting stops where we learnt a bit about History and culture of the Baltic states. The lunch was quite good. Laura is a very enthusiastic and fun person, the day was really enjoyable. I definitely recommend this tour.

"Tour guide with a musical voice"

The tour began with an uplifting smile and laughter and ended with a satisfied and happy fellow traveler. Along the way, Laura (LT) provided history and added humor. It makes the tour interesting and not an academical subject. Why the title of a tour guide with a musical voice? At the last site, she sang to us a Lithuanian lullaby song. Maybe she should join the Lithuania Eurovision competition.😁

"Best way to go from one Baltic capital to the next"

It was a fantastic time and Laura was super energetic throughout. Loved wandering through the medieval ruins and national park. The military museum was a little bit strange but the stories Laura told which were unrelated to the museum were very interesting. Highly recommended!

"Great way to travel between Riga and Tallinn! "

I really enjoyed the sightseeing tour bus from Riga to Tallinn with Laura as our guide! It is such a fun way to travel between the two cities and a great way to learn about the history of both countries. It is also good to meet other people from different countries travelling between the two cities. Laura is very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions you might have! I would definitely recommend this tour!

"Fantastic way to travel from Riga to Tallinn"

We had a great day traveling from Riga to Tallinn with Laura as our guide. She made it interesting and entertaining with her amazing enthusiasm. Thanks!

"Best way to see the Baltics"

We adored our wonderful guide and driver, Laura who whisked us from Vilnius to Riga with lots of stops along the way. Really glad we went with this tour instead of hiring a car!

"Great highlights tour from Vilnius to Riga!"

Laura was an awesome guide to show us the key highlights on the drive from Vilnius to Riga! Great energy and enthusiasm for the day! Convenient way to see sights such as Trakai, Hill of Crosses, and Rundale Palace. Highly recommend!

"Wonderful tour!"

This tour was highly recommended and we are so glad went! Laura was great fun and the group was so lovely! We did the Vilnius yo Riga tour!! It was awesome!!

"Great tour day!"

Had a really nice tour with Laura. She was very knowledgeable. Also, great sights on the way. Highly recommend this tour.

"Excellent tour"

It was an excellent way of travelling from Riga to Vilnius with this tour rather than taking a direct transfer. Our guide Laura was exceptional! She provided high quality information about the region in a very entertaining and energetic way. She has also created a very warm and friendly environment for all tour participants. I would recommend this tour to anybody who would like not to miss the nice spots between these two cities.

"Excellent program. Educative and exciting"

The locations we visited were far from the main cities and would have probably been missed if it wasn't for this tour. the stops not only contained a beautiful scenery, but also great stories that will let you get a deep insight into the country, especially with a guide so enthusiastic and proud of her culture.

"fantastic trip and best guide/driver/animator LAURA"

My husband and I travelled from Riga to Vilnius with sightseeing bus and our guide was Laura. We mostly travel without a group but we did not want to drive or use bus and see a bit more on Latvia and Lithuania. We got more than we expected. Laura answered all our questions on both countries. We had a nice lunch on our way. We had fantastic time, and what is more insider tips of Vilnius. I got this tour via internet and they were true proffessionals on time and well informed. The tour from Tallinn to Riga was full 20 days ago. Be sure to book well in advance. Thank you again Laura for this incredible trip.

"Travel like a local!"

We took the Vilnius-Riga day tour with young and very enthusiastic Lithuanian girl Laura. She knew a lot about the local history and took us to places that were amazing and unforgettable. Highly recommended tour if you are travelling in the Baltic countries. You will get a good historic overview and visit some of the hidden gems that are located outside of the capitals. It was really travelling-like-a-local experience!

"Passionate "

If you have a full day to go between cities, this is the way to go! We had a full van (8 people), and our guide, Laura, took the time and initiative to make everyone feel welcome. While there wasn’t a huge amount of time at each stop, but there certainly was enough to see what you have to see. Laura is an excellent driver and passionate guide and cheerleader for her country. Just beware ... there is only one correct answer to any question she asks that compares any of the 3 Baltic countries!! :)

"Energetic, lively, and informative! "

Laura is such a fun tour guide! Her great personality truly made the tour extra special! She was engaging and her information made the history of Latvia and Lithuania come alive. We (my daughter and I) highly recommend these tours for the Baltic’s as this was our second time traveling with them and we had a wonderful experience both times. They really know how to pick warm-hearted and energetic guides! So happy to have met Laura!

"The BEST way to get from Riga to Vilnius!!"

This tour was an incredible way to see sites outside the capital cities and learn more about the culture and history from a local guide. Speaking of, Laura was AWESOME! She is super passionate about the region and was a joy to spend the day with. The sites were all unique, and I’m very glad that the tour made it simple and enjoyable to visit all of these great places. I highly recommend this tour!

"A great experience!"

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip from Vilnius to Riga with Traveller Tours. This was mainly due to our excellent guide, Laura, who was very enthusiastic and also knowledgeable about the sites we visited. Laura was also a careful and patient driver.

"Perfecto "

The best way to travel from here to there. My Lithuanian friends were very impressed with all that we had seen and done. A great introduction to Latvia and Lithuania with a fun commentary by our guide Laura

"Good way to spend the day! "

I could've just went to Riga by normal bus, but luckily I found this online! It was a long day but totally worth it. We stopped five times on the way from Vilnius to Riga. Each stop is worth seeing. Laura, our guide, is very passionate about the baltic countries and her love for her home country made it very informative as she also had some personal stories to contribute that added to the experience. Overall, I highly recommend this very personal tour as you will discover places that you might miss otherwise.

"A great way to immerse in the culture of these 2 countries"

First of all, our guide Laura was this energetic and enthusiastic girl, always concerned about all the passengers' needs. Then, she really could transmit her pride to be both Lithuanian and a citizen of the Baltic. The spots we visited showed us some of the history and architecture of Latvia and Lithuania. On the bus, everybody loved it. And that includes my 9-year-old daughter.

"Fantastic city tour from Riga to Tallinn! :)"

We travelled from Vilnius to Riga. We think that this tour was the best choice during our baltic trip! Laura (our guide) was very kind and friendly and gave a lot of information about the visited places. Moreover, she has a great sense of homour, she has a lot of energy and very easy-going! Although the tour was long (12 hours) it was very interesting and we enjoyed every minute! The other passengers were also very nice, friendly and openminded, it was interesting to talk to each other. We recommend this tour everybody who would like to discover the essential of these countries and get unforgetable memories!

"The best way to travel from Tallin to Riga"

If it is your first time from Tallinn to Riga (or the opposite), I highly recommend that you take this tour bus. It is well planed, so the stops are in the most interesting places of the route. There are places that you should spend a lot of time to visit and probably you would need a car. The guide/driver, Laura, was super friendly and answered all our questions, making the whole driving experience more pleasant. It was an excellent experience. Totally recommended.

"Laura made our day"

It was a great tour! We are glad to have chosen this kind of travelling from Tallinn to Riga. We got to know locations we wouldn´t have seen otherwise. It was very touching to hear about the history of the Baltic States in Valga, interesting to discover the walls of Viljandi castle and fascinating to walk through the streets of Cesis. We loved the stories, Laura told, and her lullaby for the ESC! Thank you, Laura - for this interesting and entertaining day!

"Laura steals the show!"

Laura was an amazing tour guide. She had so much energy and passion for the sites and Lithuania. it made our tour even more exciting and engaging. We were able to ask any questions and she was very informative about the sites. The sites were great and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Laura even gave us a private audition for her upcoming stardom at Eurovision!

"Best guide ever"

Our guide Laura was such a lovely person, a typical Lithuanian girl with so much stories and historical informations about both countries. The group was nice , good mood all the way long. This tour is the best way to discover Lithuania and Latvia, highly recommended!

"楽しかったです"

個人だと行きにくい十字架の丘とか寄りながら、移動も出来てとっても楽しいツアーでした。途中のランチも素敵な場所でした。 トゥラカイ城やカウナスは外を見るだけだけど、ルンダーレ宮殿はお庭は見れました。 お花が綺麗でした。 ガイドさんもとっても良い人でした。

"A great way to travel from Riga to Vilnius"

A good way to see things between Riga and Vilnius you would otherwise have to do as side trips. Our guide Laura, was great. A bubbly personality and the ability to provide the background and history of the things we saw without it becoming to dry. A pleasure to spend the day with her.

"Laura’s Magical, Musical, Magnicent Bus Trip!"

Laura brings 110% of herself to making sure her guests are happy. It works. Our ride from Riga to Vilnius was filled with fascinating stories, beautiful stops, wonderful walks and an awesome lunch. We’d go back to Riga just for the ride!

"Great tour!"

If you don’t have a car but you still want to see important spots from Riga to Vilnius this is your tour!

"The best way to travel from Vilnius to Riga"

When we first booked I wondered what a 180 mile journey over 12 hrs in a mini bus would be like . It was great 👍 . Laura was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic & organised - brilliant! Fellow passengers really nice .The stops were interesting we wouldn’t hesitate to do it again in fact we’ve booked with you to travel from Riga to Tallinn.

"Laura made the difference "

The key difference between an excellent and a good tour is the enthusiasm and charisma the guide brings to make things alive and Laura did a fabulous job of it.

"Amazing tour with energetic guide"

What a great way to get from point A to point B with a friendly and helpful Vilnius born guide. The first stop is Trakai where you learn the history of Lithuania and get time to walk around the castle grounds and take in the views of the lake. Next up is Kaunas, the other capital of Lithuania where you get to see castles and river views. Our guide ordered our lunch ahead of time which was good because from Kaunas, it was 2 hours away but the food was great and it is a good time to try Lithuanian food if you haven't already. Gotta have that meat and especially potatoes. The next stop was about a 5 minute drive away to the highlight of the trip: the Hill of Crosses. Now Lithuania doesn't really have hills so some people might not get what they expect but the site is gorgeous and you definitely have to walk up the hill to the other side because there is so much more to see. Bring your own cross to leave behind to the ever growing "hill". Next we crossed over to Latvia. Beware, the roads are not good. I am easily prone to motion sickness and our guide did a fantastic job driving but if you do get car sick, maybe take a pill before you leave. Rundale palace was the first stop and it was very pretty and an excellent example of what palaces in St. Petersburg look like. You get time to walk around the gardens where the most prominent flowers are the roses. The final stop was just outside Riga to a WWII labor camp. Though a sad history, it is an important one and here you get to dwell into it. We were dropped off just inside the Old Town in Riga just north of the bus station and the central market. I would recommend this tour to anyone because if you are going to be on a bus to get to Riga anyway, why not see more of the two countries? Our guide, Laura, was very knowledgeable and through in her own experiences of growing up in the Baltics and what it was like for her mother that it made everything seem more real.

"Fantastic way to see more of the Baltics"

It was great to get out of the big cities for a day and see some more of the countryside. Better than that was our super enthusiastic guide Laura, who made the day fun and informative. Totally recommended as a way to get between Vilnius and Riga and seeing the sights.

"A fun day off the beaten path"

My husband and I had a great day learning the secrets of Lithuanian history and visiting places we never knew existed. Our Guide Laura was fantastic, she was so energetic and told us a lot of fun stores about Lithuania and its past.

"Fascinating Lithuania"

Fun day exploring places I had never heard of before. We had a great local food for lunch. Grutas Park was the most memorable place with the old Soviet monuments. The guide was very energetic and answered all our questions. I absolutely recommend taking this tour.

"An awesome day out in Lithuania"

Amazing tour with a lot of great sights and fascinating information. You see both nature and culture. Completely recommend.

"Great trip from Estonia to Latvia "

This is a great idea and really fun. Laura was our tour guide and mini bus driver too ! We stopped off at a few places along the way ; my favourite was the restaurant which served amazing food ! I would definitely recommend this tour but please please please invest in a mobile phone holder for your driver so they can keep both hands on the wheel and not have to hold the phone whilst driving. Otherwise fantastic!

"Interactive and well organized"

The tour has about 5 stop in latvia and estonia. We liked most the medieval towns, the national park and the restaurant where stopped to eat. And Laura, our guide was fun and made the day very interactive.

"Great trip with an enthousiastic guide"

We had a smalle group which made the tour very fine. The guide (Laura) was there already early so we could leave on time. From the start she was very enthousiastic in her stories and she was always open for an informal conversation. Nice touristic stops and a good restaurant where we ate. It was a great advantage to hear the stories from a real Lithuanian which made the experience more purely. I would recommend this trip to everyone as the better alternative to travel between the two cities surely with such a good guide.

"My Lithuanian Ancestry"

Our guide was excellent in every way. She was very knowledgeable, an excellent driver, and helped us feel at ease so that we could really enjoy our journey. A great day. Many thanks. Ervin

"good travel"

La tappe visitate erano interessanti. La guida, Laura, aveva una discreta conoscenza, le spiegazioni erano interessanti e facilmente ascoltabili anche non avendo una piena comprensione dell'inglese.

"Not good value"

We took this tour with the expectation that we would see more of Estonia and Latvia. With the exception of Cesis, what we saw was disapointing. Viljandi was underwhelming, sandstone cliffs were disappointing, and military museum was a waste of time. Segulda could have been great if we could have taken a bobsled down the ramp. We would have paid extra for this, but it was not an option. Cesis was very nice, but we were rushed through it. Laura was enthusiastic, but carried the rivalry with the other Baltic countries too far. We regret not taking a direct bus.
