Local Guides & Small-Groups

"Brilliant guide and interesting places visited"

We really enjoyed the tour, especially with Laura as our guide. She was very knowledgeable, with interesting insights on the places we visited. Her play list in the minivan was awesome too.

"Fun road trip between Riga and Vilnius"

This is a fun way to travel between Riga and Vilnius. Our guide, Laura, was so much fun and had so much to tell us about the history of the sites. This is also a great way to experience more of Latvia and Lithuania outside of their capitals.

"An amazing journey"

Six of us traveled from Riga to Vilnius and took Traveller's private guided tour. Our tour guide was Laura, a girl from Vilnius. Her guidance and introduction to the attractions along the way left a deep impression in our minds, adding many surprises and memories to this trip!

"Excellent expierence"

Everything was great! I recommend this to everyone!

"Not to be missed tour"

Kullo was an excellent driver and host. He has excellent knowledge of the area and although it is a 12 hour day from Riga to Tallinn he never fails to try his best to make the tour enjoyable for me and my family. We truly enjoyed the trip. His knowledge and insight of the area and the whole itinerary and chosen stop points were amazing. Thank you again Kullos for the memorable trip.

"Amazing trip with a great host "

Everything was great . Laura was a great host and we get to see places we would like to go when transferring to Riga from Vilnius. She is also very knowledgeable. Choice of place for lunch was superb. Will be doing the Riga to Tallinn one next and looking forward to that as well. Highly recommended

"Better than a standard bus"

We had a great trip from Riga to Vilnius on this tour. The guide was great, bubbly and friendly. The lunch stop had something for everyone and there was plenty of time at each of the stops to explore. Would highly recommend using this tour.

"Good tour, but would have appreciated more communication"

The tour guide, Ruta, was very informative, very friendly, nice and did do her best to provide interesting facts and details of the sights in the tour. She is very knowledgeable and passionate which helps you truly experience the places you see. The downside was that we had the tour around the holidays and most of the sights were closed, We missed the soviet era museum, as it was also closed, which we were quite excited about. We were upset because no one informed us in advance, that everything would be closed, to decide if the cost of the tour is worth it for us considering. (It is not common knowledge especially as practices differ from country to country) Be sure to check if things are open when you plan to visit.

"Awesome tour from Riga to Vilnius !"

Our guide Laura was very enthusiastic throughout our whole trip! Also very knowledgeable - I will thoroughly recommend! I think travelling from Riga to Vilnius through this option is the most value for money as well. For places like Hill of Crosses - you’d have spent a lot of time going there from Vilnius. But for the sightseeing bus, it was something like a pit stop! Sightseeing while travelling, it was the best of both worlds!

"Great way to travel"

Great way to travel between Vilnius and Riga. By takink this tour it´s possible to know a bit more from Lithuania and Latvia. Our guide, Laura, did a great and enthusiastic job.

"A great day full of insights and impressions "

Was a very interesting experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and motivated.

"Great Tour"

I had an awesome time on my tour from Riga to Tallinn. Going in December meant that I got to see the snowy countryside. From the beautiful bobsleigh track and the spectacular views there to visiting Castle ruins, beautiful small towns and the pretty city of Parnu. During my trip we also fortunately had the flexibly to visit a bog as well which was a truly stunning experience. I 100% recommend to anyone wishing to explore the Latvian and Estonian countryside!

"Spectacular Tour"

I had a wonderful time on the sightseeing tour between Vilnius and Riga, Laura was incredibly well versed in the history of the country and region and was able to share so much amazing information about the locations we visited; and I was blown away by just how beautiful Lithuania and Latvia are. Especially the amazing must see Hill of Crosses and the Palace of Rundale.

"Great tour"

Laura was a kind and enthusiastic guide, she made the journey interesting and informative.

"Great tour"

We got lucky the driver from Riga to Vilnius was the same as the driver from Tallin to Riga. Again, Mattis, our driver was excellent in his knowledge regarding history, regarding the Baltic states, we enjoyed our time and enjoyed the three stops along the way. Thank you for providing a great experience

"Highly recommended!"

I had an amazing time with the Vilnius-Riga Sightseeing Tour, which lasted nearly 10 hours, with Laura as our tour guide. Laura was incredibly entertaining and attentive throughout the trip. It was both exciting and informative as she shared a lot of local insights. I have been to a few places and I must say Laura is the best tour guide I ever had! Thank you, Laura for the fun tour and bringing us safely in Riga. :)

"Perfect way to learn more about countryside of Lithuania and Latvia"

I’ve enjoyed every minute of the tour through the countryside of Lithuania and Latvia. Laura is an excellent guide. She told a lot of every aspect of life in the Baltic States and was very energetic.

"A day packed with great sights and history"

Daumante is a great guide. He is attentive and knowledgeable. The route is interesting and beautiful. Get a glimpse of the countryside of both Latvia and Estonia.

"Good way to see more on your way to Vilnius "

Laura has so much energy and passion for what she does. We had enough time to see the places we visited and Laura gave us good information about the sites and historic events. We had a great time.

"다시하고 싶은 여행"

프라이뱃 투어 신청이어서 시간을 자유로이 설정할수 있어서 좋았다. 같이 했던 가이드도 많이 보여주려고 했고 우리의 의견을 먾이 반영해주었다. 우리가 이용했던 차량이 조금 부족했던것 빼고는 만족한 여행이었다

"From Vilnius to Riga: An Unforgettable Scenic Drive Through the Heart of the Baltics"

Driving from Vilnius to Riga was a captivating experience, with rolling landscapes, charming villages, and serene forests along the way. The air was fresh, filled with the scent of pine and earth. We made some incredible stops along the way. We bumped into a village market to sample local delicacies, we enjoyed the lush greens of summer and the occasional vibrant colors of autumn leaves Each turn revealed stunning vistas, creating a sense of adventure and connection to the rich culture of the Baltics. Our journey was a blend of tranquility and excitement, making it a memorable road trip. Ruta, who turned out to be a font of information on the Lithuanian history,culture, tradition, astronomy and astrology, kept us engrossed with her insights and stories. Each stop along the journey enriched our experience, making the drive from Vilnius to Riga not just a scenic route but a deep dive into the heart of Lithuanian and Latvian culture. Thank you Ruta, for sharing your knowledge about Lithuanian culture and history. Your passion for the local traditions truly enriched the journey, making each stop even more meaningful. We feel like we’ve gained a deeper understanding of this beautiful region because of you.

"Fun trip"

We had a lot of fun on our way from Riga to Tallinn with the bus from Riga to Tallinn. We had a private tour for our friends group, and the day just flew by. We would gladly repeat the experience.

"Great way to travel between Riga and Tallin"

We recently took a the tour bus from Riga to Tallinn, and it was a pleasant experience. The journey showcased the Baltic countryside beautifully, making the ride enjoyable. The car was comfortable, and the driver provided interesting insights about various landmarks. With several stops along the way, we had the chance to explore some charming small towns.

"Absolutely great way to see the Baltic countryside"

The tour was a perfect way to see more of Latvia and Lithuania than we otherwise would have from a bus, which was the other option to travel between the two cities. Laura was a terrific guide, extremely knowledgeable about the two countries and about the sites along the route. And a vibrant personality. She had the five of us comfortable as a group within fifteen minutes of leaving the meeting place. The van was comfortable, and the chosen sightseeing stops were varied and interesting, and perfect for breaks.

"Laura was a ray of sunshine on a lovely tour"

We really enjoyed our tour to Vilnius guided by the excellent Laura. We learnt a lot about the places we visited. The choice of restaurant was also good. Laura’s relaxed style, enthusiasm (for Lithuania) and knowledge added much to the day.

"Exceptional "

Very good tour to get to know both countries and their history. Laura was an amazing guide professional as well as entertaining.

"Entusiastic "

Varying, interesting, educating tour With an exiting guide. She was brilliant!

"Another great trip"

Our second trip with Laura and it was again excellent. Would highly recommend this to anyone travelling from Riga to Vilnius.

"Amazing experience! "

Our guide was amazing! We learnt so much about the countries we were visiting and had a lot of fun.

"Wonderful day with Laura"

My friends and I booked the Vilnius to Riga trip as a private charter for the four of us. Our driver/guide was Laura, who was a pleasure to spend the day with. She was informative, interesting, fun and flexible, which we very much appreciated, since we wanted to make a detour to a town not on the itinerary. She accommodated all our requests and made the day a highlight of our two-week trip. Thank you, Laura, for a wonderful, memorable day!

"Laura is so good 👍👍👍"

Laura with full of energy and knowledge to drive and tour us from Riga to Vilnius. She gives excellent information about all the 4 places and takes us to a very good restaurant for lunch. No time is wasted, she would pre order all our lunch before we arrive to the restaurant. I would highly recommend taking Laura's tour to travel from Riga to Vilnius or Vilnius to Riga. Thanks Laura 😄🙂😄😄

"Catching the sights enroute to Riga"

This is a long day but very interesting and so much better than flying or traveling via bus. We stopped at Kaunas, Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace and Salaspils. There was ample time to explore at each stop and our guide was a wealth of information. We would definitely recommend this mode of transportation and Laura!

"Fun interesting trip that carried us to our next destination "

An excellent itinerary that took us across to our next destination whilst stopping over to see places of historical interest in Lithuania and Latvia. The Guide was lively and interesting

"Comfortable and fun"

I really like this idea of sightseeing from one place to another. I have travelled the world and been from country to country. I think it is clever and great to have this option rather than just taking a bus from one place to another. I was able to see a lot of sites that I wouldn’t have been able to go to due to time constraints. Ruta was knowledgeable and friendly. The van was comfortable as there were only 6 of us rather than 8. The restaurant we stopped at served delicious food with reasonable prices. The sites we stopped at were relevant and we had enough time considering it was just a day tour. Definitely recommend this tour!

"Fantastic day!"

While it was a long day, it was totally worth it. Our guide Ruta was lovely, she was smiling, approachable, knowledgeable and always helpful. Ruta drove really well all day and nothing was too much trouble. She gave us great information and it shared lots of insight.

"Excellent tour"

All of us, 16 people in two vans, enjoyed the tour, especially for the additional information we got from our guide. Unfortunately the van had a technical problem and traveled at quite low speed. Daumants is a very good guide and driver.

"Entertaining & Historical Tour"

We had a very entertaining and historical tour when transferring from Vilnius to Riga. Our guide Laura, gave great insight into local regional history through the ages as we also stopped and viewed Kaunos, the Hill of Crosses, Rundale palace in Latvia, Salaspils camp memorial just outside Riga before we were dropped off at Our hotel in Riga

"Perfect solution! "

Our guide Laura made the trip unforgettable! Knowledgeable and attentive, her enthusiasm was contagious. Her love for her country made us fall in love too. Thank you Laura!

"Satisfactory exp"

"great trip!"

Laura was a great guide, got us from Riga to Vilnius with stops along the way and lots of inside information on Lithuania I would not have picked up on my own.

"A fantastic way to travel from Riga to Vilnius!"

This was a great way to travel from Riga to Vilnius! In addition to seeing sights (the official stops described in the tour description as well as beautiful countryside between the two cities) and learning some history of the countries and cities, we were able to get a sense of current culture and life in Latvia and Lithuania through our guide, Laura. Laura was enthusiastic, entertaining, and very knowledgeable. She also gave us great suggestions for places to go, things to do, and what to eat during the rest of our time in Vilnius. We highly recommend this tour.

"The best way to go from Riga to Vilnius"

The tour was really good and Laura was one of the best guides I have ever had. She is very energetic and enthusiastic about her job and she is always willing to share all the information with the group. I think we spent the right amount of time in all the stops.

"Riga to vilnius sightseeing "

I had wonderful experience and our tour guide Laura was amazing. She provided all specific details and related history of the places during the sight visit. It is worth the money.

"best way to get from Riga to Vilnius"

The driver and tour guide, Laura, had amazing knowledge, a good sense of humour and perfect organisational skills. She brought cohesion and fun to the trip. It was perfect to see the hill of crosses and Rundale palace on the journey and it would have been difficult to see those sites from either capital city.

"So much good energy!! "

This tour was the highlight of my Baltic trip! This tour is an amazing way to explore the countryside + the history of the places that we visit. Without doubt, this is one of the best ways to travel throughout the Baltics! If you are lucky enough , you are going to get the one and only Laura! As your guide! She is amazing, energetic, knowledgeable and really good with people! She conducts herself with such a professionalism but at the same time she is so funny and approachable! I do highly, truly, and utterly recommend this tour

"Fun informative tour"

I enjoyed my trip to Tallin with this tour. It was nice to get to stop in several smaller towns along the way. Our guide was enthusiastic and willing to answer any questions we had about the Baltics.

"A wonderful period during my Baltic trip"

With this ride and Laura's guide, we had a chance to know more about Latvija and Letuva. Wonderful experience, highly recomended.

"Brilliant tour with first-rate tour guide "

We have been in Kaunas, Rondel Palace… we were so encouraged by the spectacular commentary on the attractions, that we found that location was being so critical to the history of Lithuania and Latvia, In Laura’s guiding, we had seen the personalities and historical context of Lithuania. We cannot forget how spectacular and devoted the guiding were. We are glad to joined the tour

"A must do!"

The driver and guide did an excellent job explaining sites, travel, history, and was quite proud and enthusiastic of her country. Thank you Laura for a wonderful experience. The food and restaurant selection were perfect as well at site visits.

"An enthusiastic guide showed us amazing sights"

This was a wonderful way to see the sights of Latvia and Lithuania. Even more important was getting to know a lifetime Lithuanian. Laura has an enormous amount of energy, humor, and goodwill. A great day.

"The best way to get between countries! "

The sites were great - it was wonderful to see parts of Lithuania and Latvia we wouldn't have been able to see otherwise! Our guide Laura was amazing! So knowledgeable, funny and passionate!

"Lithuania trip"

Knowledgeable guide. Allowed us to walk at own pace and set reasonable times for visits to each site.

"Great way to go from Riga to Vilnius"

The perfect way to go from Riga to Vilnius. We got to see the country-side and had several very interesting stops. Our guide, Laura, was fabulous: energetic, very knowledgeable and so much fun. Highly recommended

"fantastic, informative and well guided tour"

a fantastic guide a well thought out itinerary very good explanations very safe driving thank you to Stan and your group for a wonderful experience

"most valuable"

My van is good. The staff is kind and professinal. Lunch is delicious and not expensive. The programe is sufficient. Usually one day tour from Riga to Rundale palace is 60-80€ and one day tour from Vilnius to hill of crosses is about 50-60euro. So it is a most valueable way to transfer from Riga to Vilnius.

"Awesome!"

Amazing way to travel between Vilnius and Riga. Got to see so many sights along the way. Great pace, not too rushed. Was excellent for young children. Guide was very friendly and passionate.

"Really great"

The guide was really enthusiastic and energetic. Really great experience.

"Best way to spend a day between Riga and Vilnius!"

I needed to travel from Riga to Vilnius, but instead of just taking the bus, I decided to take this tour. Laura did not disappoint, with her enthusiastic description of sites and the related historic background. I left with memories of a great trip, new friends, and a deeper understanding of the Baltic region and its people!

"Amazing tour!"

First time doing a tour like this and didn’t know what to expect. Well, it was super nice and I will definitely do that again! Our guide Laura had a super good vibe, really enthusiastic and smiling and she had answers to all our questions. The timing for every stop was good. I’ll definitely recommend this tour and company to anyone visiting the Baltic! Thank you so much

"Perfect choice for transfer from Vilnius to Riga "

We have really enjoy our trip with Laura - she was really nice, answered many our questions regarding life in LT & LV. She is a very good driver and has a good music in the car :-)

"Best Way to Travel between Vilnius to Riga"

We had a wonderful time with Laura on the tour. She was brilliant, super fun and very informative and we got to see places that we would not have been able to see without driving ourselves.

"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.

"Very convenience tour!"

If you have a plan to visit Riga and Vilnius, this is a must tour! During the day, you will visit many stunning places during the way to Vilnius. Our guide named Daumant. He is very nice and easy going.

"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.

"Great way to transit"

I can highly recommend Traveller Tours. We had a private tour from Riga to Vilnius. Our guide/driver Daumants arrived early, spoke excellent English and was delightful. He was happy to personalise the tour to our preferences and never rushed us.

"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.

"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.

"Awesome trip!"

It was a trip that brought us safely to Vilnius and along the way we saw the different places that have meant so much to the locals the memorial , the palace , Kausas the other capital of Lithuania and my favorite the hill of the crosses with a superb lunch at a cozy countryside restaurant by the lake that makes you want to stay. Our guide Daumants was very informative , easy to talk to and showed us all this beautiful places while telling us the histories and facts related to them. She also accommodated most of our requests . Thanks Daumants for an awesome road trip.

"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!

"Great day"

Great tour, great guide (ivar). A great way to travel between Riga and Tallinn..

"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

"Highly recommend "

We absolutely loved the Riga to Tallinn tour, it was insightful and allowed us to see the countryside and small local towns which we wouldn't have experienced otherwise. Hanna-Liia was very knowledgeable, friendly and shared so much history with us.

"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.

"great trip"

The guide Kris was excelent! Great trip!

"Excellent way to go from Riga to Vilnius"

I would highly recommend the one way Riga to Vilnius sightseeing tour. The tour gives you the opportunity of stopping off at places of interest between the 2 cities that you otherwise would not get to see. Everything was very well organized with a modern, air-conditioned minibus and excellent, enthusiastic guide.

"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.

"Super tour"

Excellent way to see lots of places. Loved the Bob sleigh track the most. Military museum was just ok. Lunch beautiful.

"An Entertaining & Informative Journey"

Mikelis is a very friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining guide. He has an encyclopaedic grasp of the history of the places we saw en route: Salaspils Memorial, Rundala Palace, Hill of Crosses, Kaunas. Mikelis even sang Latvian songs to us! The time flew by.

"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.

"Great value for money"

Very nice experience, very nice and knowledgeable guides. The tour was a great opportunity to know more about Latvia ans Estonia, especially the countryside and the nature and to discover place we weren't able to do it on our own

"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!

"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.

"Comfortable, interesting and packed day… so worth it"

Mike was punctual, very prudent and knowledgeable and our trip from Riga to Vilnius was so smooth. The price was not cheap but all worth it. Worth every cent. Highly recommended.

"Unforgettable tour with an amazing tour guide"

Mikelis gave us a pleasant drive to Kaunas following with Hill of Crosses and Rundāle palace. The city, Kaunas, definitely is worth a visit. The walk is easy and relaxed. Mikelis adjusted to our pace and left us time to shop or have a coffee break to slow down if we need to. We are lucky to have Mikelis - He is very engaging, calm and accommodative. He shared with us the interesting details about life in Latvia. We enjoyed every second of this highly interesting tour.

"Excellent way of travel from Riga to Tallinn"

We booked a private tours for my parents (in their 60s) and I to travel from Vilnius - Riga - Tallinn. We took the Vilnius - Riga tour first, then this tour Riga - Tallinn. Our tour guide for this tour was Mike, he was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable at the locations we visited. The trip was such a great experience, I'd highly recommend this to anyone. Zero complain.

"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.

"Beautiful Gauja"

We had the pleasure to be shown around the Gauja nationalpark area by our guide Mikelis. Also, we were lucky enough to visit the Gauja river when no one else was there - truly magical! Can only recommend!

"Beautiful Palace and Amazing Hill of Crosses "

We were delighted to see Mike at the Riga meeting point since he had recently escorted us from Tallinn to Riga. Mike has a good singing voice and is spontaneous with his stories. Like any good story teller, he does not let you know at the beginning that he is going into story mode. The weather cooperated with our journey. Although Mike did not have to deliver us our hotel, he surprised us again by doing just that. It is a wonderful way to enjoy sights while enjoying the weather, Mike's stories, and seeing interesting sights along the way. What a nice combination to create a terrific travel memory.

"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.

"Good visit "

We drove with two other passengers. Good conversations. Stoped at many interesting sites. The military museum was unnecessary. The two castles and national park and bobsled track were wonderful. The total trip, though, took too long. A little less time at some places would be good. We left at 9 am and arrived 9pm. An hour earlier would have been better. Mike was a good guide and fun company.

"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.

"Lynx, FA, Secret, Rexona... Use one please"

Tour was fantastic, the guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and able to engage the group very easily. However, some deodorant and/or a change of t-shirt wouldn't go astray.

"Great tour!! "

Very enjoyable trip- great walk in the national park and Mike was really knowledgable :) lunch stop was lovely and we especially enjoyed the in car sing-a-longs! Thanks for a fabulous day!

"Informative and Fun"

We took the trip on August 26th and it was well worth it as was the trip from Vilnius to Riga. There is temptation to just see the 3 Baltic capitals but this is a mistake. These trips enable you to see more of the 3 countries. This tour had 5 different u Interesting stops plus an excellent lunch at a brewery. Mike the guide was excellent. Highly recommended

"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 tour, great guide, well spend time"

12 hours maybe sound long but it was really worth it, we saw interesting places where we would not have get on our own, the guide told good stories, lunch was 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.

"Riding with a Local Expert"

Very informative and enthusiastic guide who drove us across Vilnius to Riga. Ride was comfortable and spacious. Best of all, this was a great way to see Hill of Crosses without the logistical headache. Love to see more of these countries in the near future!

"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.

"Fantastic way to travel between Latvia and Estonia"

Our guide / driver was excellent, would highly recommend. Numerous stops along the way, their is some light hiking involved so this trip is not suitable for mobility issues. Would a recommend bringing snacks and water, it is a very long 12h day. The lunch stop was superb after crossing border to Estonia however this comes late in the day 2-3pm.

"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.

"A perfect day"

This day tour was a great experience. The guide is very kind. He asked about our wishes to adapt the tour. We have seen a Lovely little town, have a walk around the gauja river and gone to so many other interesting place. For the lunch, we ate in a restaurant which offers good food for a good price. The guide helped us to choose typical meal and drink. Last but not least, we have talked about latvian situation and culture and he asked question about the place where we live. We had a bad english but he was very patient to repeat slowly when we née it and to understand what we said. So, it was very instructive, plenty of beautiful places and a good human expérience. We highly recommand this tour.

"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!!

"Very informative with a lovely tour guide "

I would recommend this tour. Mike was our tour guide who was very knowledgeable and a lovely guy.

"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.

"A great way to travel in the Baltic countries"

Just as presented and reviewed, this tour is a great way to discover Baltic countries while travelling from one capital to the other. Mikelis was both fun and a very instructive guide.

"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.

"Book this interesting informative tour now!"

We had a wonderful day visiting the Hill of Crosses & Rundale Palace. Mikelis was a perfect guide. The history and stories he shared were interesting and informative. The ride didn't seem so long listening to his interesting facts (he even jovially endured a geography quiz from my son). Mikelis never rushed us and was great with the kids. We also enjoyed what the family is now calling "Lunch in Lithuania" at a restaurant that was off the beaten path with delicious food. He was communicative and reached out to me an hour before pick-up to clarify details about the location of our ship. Also, when my father worried he left something in the van, Mikelis was very helpful in rechecking the van for us and even offered to let us come check it ourselves Excellent customer service all around. Do not hesitate to book this tour!

"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!

"Thank you Mike!"

We felt very lucky to have Mike as our tour guide and had fun day out and about in Latvia. The open-air art museum was ok for a stroll but not hugely exciting in my opinion - luckily Mike had a good instinct for what we would find more/less interesting and paced the tour accordingly. So we went on to Kuldiga which for me was the highlight of the tour - lovely town and waterfall, and a nice way to spend some time out of the city. Mike is an exceptional tour guide and a real highlight of our whole trip to the Baltics :)

"Very knowledgeable and genuine guide "

We enjoyed the tour so much! Michael pur guide was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of his country and estonia. He also added personal touches like singing and personal stories. We enjoyed very much everything . The best way to travel to Tallin. Thank you!!!!!

"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!

"R to T tour "

Well done, interesting, nice way to go between cities. Thank you

"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.

"Superb way to transfer from Riga to Vilnius"

This was such a good trip, I can't recommend it highly enough. Mike's commentary, sharing his knowledge and personal insights really made this trip one of the highlights of our holiday in the Baltics. The sites we visited were very well selected, giving us the opportunity to learn about some important aspects of Latvian and Lithuanian culture and history.

"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.

"Excellent tour guide & sites"

Very interesting and well paced tour. Mike was a fantastic guide giving us all the historical and/or political background of places visited. Hill of Crosses an amazing singular place and holocaust site very moving. Loved the rose gardens at Rundale Palace and we were given tour of an old Baltic Church in Bauska by an elderly parishioner. Mike was a great guide, we loved hearing about the Singing Revolution & also the many songs he sang us in his beautiful bass voice. Highly recommend tour.

"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.

" "

"A worthy tour that deepened our appreciation of the countries "

It was a great tour that allowed us to better understand the history and culture of the people of Latvia and Estonia. The tour guide gave useful info on historical events, was funny, and was evident that he was proud of his country. We were impressed by his singing at the venue where the Singing Revolution took place. Bravo.

"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!

"Great tour, great guide"

The tour was great. A big shoutout to our guide Mike: he was awesome! He told us many stories about Latvia and Estonia, helped us understanding better the history of these 2 countries, he narrated folk stories about the places we visited, he explained different type of plants and vegetation, etc. he is very knowledgeable and he is also talented: he sang for us a popular song at Viljandi! ( he’s a great at singing!). His English is excellent. The tour was well organized with a good balance between driving time and visiting places. Although the trip is from 9:00 to 21:00, the time went by quickly. Everything was perfect, the only thing I would change is the stop at the War Museum. Although the content is interesting ( and Mike did a great job in explaining things and even shared family stories regarding the Soviet occupation of Latvia) the displays at the museum need some improvement ( the dummies in uniform were a bit outdated) Probably, more time in the nature would be better.

"Amazing day trip "

We did the Riga-Tallinn sightseeing tour and it was great. We got to see small local towns that we never would’ve known about normally. Our guide Mike was fantastic, and had loads of interesting information on the areas visited.

"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.

"Magnificently diversified"

The tour stops and choices were very educational, entertains and emotional. Mike was a great tour guide/driver. He gave us very insightful accounts on our tour stops. He was very nice, funny, well-informed and very accommodating.

"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

"Personalised, "

A really great way of making the most of crossing the border. It’s really easy to just think of the cities when visiting the Baltic countries, however there are amazing locations outside of the capitals too and this trip is a really easy way to visit these locations. Our driver/ guide Mike was brilliant. He shared just the right amount of information at each stop and was able to answer all of our questions. We really valued his personal anecdotes about Latvian independence and his sharing of traditional folk music. Thanks for a brilliant day Mike! Your Latvian lesson came in very handy too :)

"Fantastic"

Wonderful way to go from Riga to Vilnius. Mike (,Mikelis) was a great tour guide and spoke veery good English. Also funny and informative on the places we went to. Would definitely take this route again!!!

"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.

"Pleasant countryside tour"

Had a great tour between Riga and Tallin. Got to learn about the history of the Baltics from a local. Got to see parts of the countryside I wouldn’t have been able to see on a motor transfer. Well worth the price/time. Was great to have a tour from someone who was so passionate about his countries History.

"Highlight of our trip"

We did the Riga to Tallinn sightseeing tour. Guide Mikelis took us for a long day full of sightseeing. We departed on time, the guide was there to greet us. The van was spacy, and very comfortable. We were so glad that we could participate, to enjoy the countryside and to see so much more of both Latvia and Estonia. Started at the bobsleigh track which was fun because we could walk down the track on foot. Soooo funny. The national park with the limestone cliffs was crazy beautiful. The guide explained a lot, let us taste some herbs in nature and he even sang for us. The towns of Cesis and Viljandi both were lovely. Had the opportunity to have lunch in a great restaurant in Valga. For us the least Intresting part was the military museum. But the highlight of the day was that we saw a wild brown bear near the woodlands, just beside the road. Incredible!!!!!! Mikelis was also so sweet to make a stop so I could photography one of the many many stork nests near the farms. I cannot recommend this tour enough, but it wouldn't have been as much fun as we didn't had this fantastic guide Mikelis.Thumbs up guys, keep on the good work!

"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!

"Nice personal tour"

We had a personal tour on sunday 9 august 2020. our guide (Mikelis) had studied geography, i remember. We really enjoyed the tour. Visited Kaunas, hills of crosses, Salaspils Memorial, Rundāle palace and had a nice local food. Our guide could tell a lot and we could talk with him about heritage from the past, differences and similarities between countries and was really helpful. Thanks for the tour!

"Excellent way to travel between capitals"

My partner and I took the Riga to Tallinn tour and the journey was not only very comfortable but also so much fun and full of information. Sten, our guide was so knowledgeable and funny and we had great conversations all the way! This was probably the best guided tour we took in the area so we recommend it highly.

"Awesome Tour"

This tour was great fun and probably the best way to travel from Riga to Tallinn (or vice versa). Stan was an awesome guide and telled us a lot fun stories and a lot about history. I recommend this tour to anyone travelling the Baltics.

"Great ride!"

This was the perfect way to travel and not waste a whole day in a car or plane. We got to see things that we would have never stopped for. Really enjoyed it!

"A great way to get between Riga and Tallinn"

A much better way to get between the two cities, exploring multiple different locations that you would not have seen if you had just travelled directly between the two cities. Castles a plenty, but my personal favourite was walking down the bobsled track - have certainly never done that before!

"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!

"What a beautiful day!"

A melting-pot of humor, history and nature. Sten is very nice and interesting. A travel to experience !

"Vilnius to Riga"

Our pick-up was right on schedule! After introductions Kami took us to see the Lithuanian and Latvian culture. Kami was very enthusiastic throughout the tour and extremely knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend booking this tour if you want to learn more about Lithuania and Latvia.

"Well worth it!"

Really enjoyed this tour day up to Riga. It was nice seeing the sights along tree way and meeting new people.

"Great tour crossing the border from Latvia to Estonia"

We are proud to be one of the first on tour after Corona shutdown. Our guide was a big help exploring the country. We've got a lot of insider information about history, country and people. Safe driver.

"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!

"Riga to Tallinn July 2020"

A perfect way to travel between the Baltic Capitals. Transportation, sightseeing and a skilled driver & guide in one package. Nice road trip with stops at nice spots along the road in a brand new wan.

"A very nice and educational way to get from A to B"

In the morning when we arrived at the location the tour guide was all ready and good to go. The tour van was comfortable and had nice airconditioning. The tour guide even brought some extra water with her for us. Our tour guide was very excited and energetic, even though it was early in the morning. She also has a good sense of humour. She told us a lot about all kinds of stuff not only history of Latvia and Estonia but also some funny facts about Riga, Estonia and Tallinn. The stops underway are very welcome, not just for stretching your legs but they're also at very nice places where you wouldn't go at first. Liine showed us some sick berry plucking skills. Also the delicious lunch at an extraordinary restaurant was a nice surprise. It is highly recommended to take this tour. You won't be sorry.

"Wordly & religious splendor"

A great mix of a beautifully renovated palace and a pilgrimage site made by & for people (not institutions). Rundale palace is managed with obvious respect for Latvian heritage (e.g. wearing plastic shoe coverings to protect the 1760ies parquet flooring), and its (rose and other) gardens really invite you for a post-visit stroll. The Hill of Crosses is unlike any other religious site I've visited before, is still expanding, and - although there were many tourists, the atmosphere still felt 'real'. Definitely 2 sites I'd recommend visiting during a Baltics trip!

"Wonderful Midsummer excursion"

We had the first tour for Traveller Tours for the season due to coronavirus, and it was wonderful. Because no one else had booked we ended up with a private tour and had Ruta as our guide. She was a smart and kind guide and very patient with our 1 and 3 year olds. She was also proud to be Lithuanian and that was fun to see the Baltic pride and learn from a local. We loved the sights included in the Riga-Vilnius tour and thought the country side of both countries was stunning: lush, green, and in full bloom at this time of year. We were lucky to be ok to travel here from Helsinki and recommend seeing these underrated countries with this excellent tour.

"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!

"One of our favourite adventures! "

Great day with a fantastic guide. Also had the bonus of meeting some other lovely people on our trip. A fab way to get from one city to the next, whilst getting all the charm of small towns and enjoying some nature. Highly recommend!

"Great sightseeing tour"

The tour is a good option if you travel across the Baltic countries. Travellers can visit the tourist spots in the countryside while transiting from one country to another.

"Weekend trip "

An excellent trip travelling theough Latvia and Estonia. We thoroughly enjoyed it and our guide Anders was informative friendly but never over-imposing.

"Not Just a Ride, But an Experience!"

As I understand it, the easiest way to get from Vilnius to Riga is to take a bus, and if all you care about is getting from Point A to Point B, I imagine the bus is fine. But if you are a traveler, and you really want to see more of Lithuania and Latvia than just a brief overview of their capital cities - and if you really want to get an understanding of the countries and the region from people who are from the area - you HAVE to do this sightseeing bus tour! Pickup (and arrival, for that matter) were on-time, but still left the group plenty of time for the scheduled stops (Kaunas; the Hill of Crosses; Rundale Palace). It seems like we had a "bonus" trip, because there was another guide who was actually "playing tourist" that day, so we had two sources of information and opinions to give us the complete story. Very well done, and highly recommended!

"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!

"Excellent"

Great tour, excellent guide!

"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.

"Fantastic Tour for Time-Pressed Travellers"

I only had that much time to experience Latvia and Lithuania, so this tour is perfect for me to see the countryside and visit out-of-the-city attractions while heading to Vilnius. Kamile was energetic from the get go, informative about the two countries, and the journey was smooth all the way. Aciu for the memorable times!

"Excellent! "

Andreas was a fantastic tour guide. Exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend.

"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 :)

"Fun and informative!"

This tour is a perfect way to engage with other travellers, see multiple sites, enjoy great local food and drinks and learn all-sorts of facinating facts about the locality and history of both countries.

"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.

"Awesome trip!"

We had a great time with Kamile and it was a very good way to spend the day and commute from Riga to Vilnius. The sites we visited were all so different and interesting, and Kamile made it better with her explanation of the history and stories. Time management was good, and we had reasonable amounts of time to spend at each location. Her driving skills were excellent too!

"Wunderbar"

10/10 - would do again.

"Great day trip to see more of Latvia and Lithuania"

We were visiting Riga during Christmas time and had a great day trip to visit Rundale Palace, and it was an opportunity to cross into Lithuania and visit the Hill of Crosses. Anna was an excellent host - she was very pleasant and full of information about the Baltic countries and the similarities and differences in the cultures and histories. We asked a lot of questions during the drive between sites. The sites are interesting, but we got more out them with the background and context that Anna provided. We had a very enjoyable lunch in a local Lithuanian restaurant to round out the trip.

"Fun and informational!!"

Our guide Anna was knowledgeable, fun and informational . Despite the shortness of daylight and one of the museums being closed our day was full. The park with the sand cliffs was a nice hike and break from driving. A trip well worth taking to see the country side of Latvia and Estonia. We appreciated Anna helping with directions to our apartment in Tallinn!

"Excellent view of the countryside"

Beautiful places and excellent food

"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.

"Great"

Good ride & nice stories.

"Learn about the country and culture"

The best tour ever made. Apart from the interesting stops during the trip we learned a lot from our guide. He explained very well the history of Latvia and Estonia. But also give us an insight of the culture and the way Estonian people express themselve. Thank you very much for this wonderfull trip. I would recommend it to everyone, as a must have done.

"Touring in Winter"

We are seniors and enjoyed this trip, the guide/driver was both entertaining and knowledgeable. We prefer to travel in winter so the tourist numbers are manageable, no queues etc however the down side of this tour is that the sites we stopped at were either closed or we arrived in darkness. The nature walk in Gauja National Park was excellent we arrived during daylight so we explored extensively in the time we had. The Valga military museum was closed but our guide had telephoned ahead and the curator opened the doors to us. It was really interesting a snap shot of what happened in the Soviet era. About ½ hours drive from the Tallinn drop off we visited, in pitch dark the remnants of a castle? We couldn’t take pictures so we don’t really have a record. FYI we travelled Vilnius to Riga by Express LUX bus as the sightseeing tour bus was not available, it was very cheap. €28 single. Punctual and comfortable with Wi-Fi and movies. Frankly we would have cancelled the Riga-Tallinn trip if we had taken the Vilnius - Riga sightseeing tour bus. I bet this is a most lively trip in summer with a full bus! We are glad we did it!

"Great tour!"

After doing the Tallinn to Riga tour this was was equally good. Comfortable minibus with plenty of room, friendly chatty guide and interesting stops - and a great lunch stop at a deer farm, delicious food and reasonable value. Christmas tree in Kaunas was something else!

"Great tour"

Great day, only the four of us on the tour as nobody else booked on it which was great, we were able to be picked up at our hotel instead of having to travel across half the city. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the sites he took us two and was not shy of getting into character. Tom/Paul/Dorothy/Harry

"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

"Journey to the Forests"

The guide was knowledgeable and took pains to bring us to different sites within the National Park. It was an enriching experience.

"The snow and the ride and the guide were all delightful "

Kamile was really well versed and explained every leg of the journey well. We thoroughly enjoyed the journey and also were greeted with the first snow of the season, the spot we stopped for lunch was also quite nice and we tasted local spirits and Riga balsam. The Palace in vilnius and the Christmas markets were all quite beautiful. Thank you for giving us a good time. Regards GB

"Great way to see the countrysides of Latvia and Estonia and learn a lot about them!"

This trip was so much fun. We stoped at the Olympic bobsled track, which was awesome, hiked through part of a national park next to a river, stopped at a war museum and a couple of interesting towns. Lunch was at a local cafe. Our guide was informative and a fun road trip driver. My husband and I really enjoyed our day - long but fun!

"Excellent Tour"

Interesting and very convenient way to travel between Riga to Tallinn! Highly recommended!

"fun way to travel over land"

well organised, some stops less interesting, like the last castle / walls.

"Truly the way to travel to Tallinn or Riga"

We had a great time on the trip. You can really see and enjoy the country side. We loved the bobsled track and the forest hike along with the other stops, except for maybe the military museum. I think that took a little bit away from the trip in truth. They would do better to skip it.

"Exactly what I hoped it would be"

I wanted to see a bit more of the Baltic states, while travelling between the capitals. This was the perfect way to do that. The guide gave interesting background information and we had cool stops along the way. Also the place where we could have lunch was very tasty.

"Perfect"

Everything was perfect.

"Book this tour!"

We had a lovely time exploring the places in between Riga and Vilnius. I highly recommend the tour especially if you have limited time exploring the area. Very informative and our tour guide - Daumants is very knowledgeable and pleasant.

"Definitely the way to go"

Daumants was energetic and welcoming, engaging, well informed and gave us a tremendous day. It was well paced, visited some really interesting spots and a fantastic way to get from Rigs to Vilnius. Thanks guys!

"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

"Exceptional tour guide"

A very well organized tour/travel from Riga to Tallin with knowledgable and perfect-english speaking guide. And he drives the van very well, carefully and comfortably. Places visited gave a really good impression of both Latvia and Estonia and the history of both countries.

"A very enjoyable trip"

I really enjoyed this tour. Weather apart (it was raining heavily most of the time) I had the chance to see some spectacular autumn landscapes of rare beauty. We also visited an old town and a small museum - this last one was a bit outdated, but our guide Andres explained lots of interesting facts about Estonian history. I felt like I really learnt something, as I don't normally like the mere passive sightseeing, knowledge is important too! A big thank to Andres who is a great guide and a person who I really enjoyed to talk with.

"Best way to travel between baltic countries"

Great tour, made even more special by Ruta. Saw some great places I would not have seen otherwise. An a very tasty stop for lunch.

"Informative and fun tour"

It is really great time joining the tour by learning a lot inside political and history stories we can not learn from other places. Ruta, she is a great guide speaks perfect English and very nice girl. We have fun even though it is a long driving while touring on the way from Vilnius to Riga. It is very impressive experiene joining the tour.

"An amazing journey across Latvia and Estonia. Estonia"

Five destinations in a day to know amazing fall landscapes, included a rare gem in Valga, the war museum. More than a transfer between Riga and Tallinn sharing experiences with a group of maximum 8 people. We were driven and assisted by Daumants, a brilliant young Latvian that had to be till late with us as we had got a little stop at a gas station and because of the rain he was so kind of leaving us beside our hotel in Tallinn. Thank you Daumants!

"Great Tour and Wonderful Guide"

We had a great time on our tour from Riga to Tallinn. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. We enjoyed this tour a lot and highly recommend it. Thanks a lot.

"Informative, scenic and well managed."

Anna was welcoming, warm and clear. The long tour had a good balance of traveling, walking, history and explanation. The meal stop was memorable. We learned a huge amount about Latvia and Estonia during the day.

"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.

"Great to see the countryside"

Tour was well organised and I could visit places that I wouldn’t reach by public transportation. Salaspils concentration camp was really interesting for me, a WW2 enthusiastic. Also, Hill of Crosses is something that you don’t see everyday. Tour is a interesting way to move from one Baltic capital to another and visiting places in between.

"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!

"Fascinating history"

I really enjoyed the tour. Sten gave interesting and passionate backgrounds and histories of both Latvia and Estonia. Lunch was wonderful and pickup/drop off went as planned. I HIGHLY recommend this affordable trip. It was great to see the countryside.

"Fascinating history"

I really enjoyed the tour. Ruta gave interesting and passionate backgrounds and histories of both Lithuania and Latvia. Lunch was wonderful and pickup/drop off went as planned. I HIGHLY recommend this affordable trip. It was great to see the countryside. Hill of Crosses was amazing!

"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!

"Perfect way to get between cities "

Our guide, Daumants, was friendly, hugely knowledgeable and really a great guide in both Lithuania and Latvia. Would thoroughly recommend as a way to get between Vilnius and Riga, as you get to see so much you otherwise wouldn't.

"Great experience, nice way to travel Riga-Tallin"

The whole trip seems short visiting the small towns and medieval castles, nice trecking and lunch stop with a very motivated and cheerful guide.

"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.

"Ruta was Great!"

We enjoyed Ruta's tour. Ruta was energetic, informative, & accommodating. Thanks for a fun day! We would suggest paying to go in the Rundale Palace Royal Rooms.

"Wonderful experience"

Had a wonderful guide take us around Lithuania and Latvia. Really enjoyed all of the stops and the in depth info from the guide. 10/10 would recommend if you're staying in the area for a few days.

"Authentic Baltic State Experience "

The trip increased our understanding of this region and the tour guide Lamas was extremely informative and helpful. Instead of big cities, we loved the rural countryside and small towns we passed through. The ride was comfortable. A suggestion would be to streamline stops at sites to allow more daylight in the last two hour segment, especially at this time of year. We are older and Lamas was understanding of our needs.

"Fascinating."

Our guide was called Mike ( english version) and he was very good. We enjoyed talking to him.

"Excellent tour"

I had a great time. The tour included some of the most significant places in Latvia and Lithuania and I really enjoyed learning about the history of the places and their importance. The tour guide provided us with enough information to appreciate all the places we visited.

"Beautiful Baltics"

This tour was my favorite activity for the 2 weeks I spent in the Baltics. I loved the variety of places we visited, from ancient castles to a national forest, and the restaurant where we stopped for lunch was great. Sten was very knowledgeable, very proud of his ancestry and country, and very attentive to the group’s needs.

"We love Ruta! "

Ruta was a fantastic driver and guide! This is Great value!

"Very good swift day trip to get to Latvia "

Lovely enthusiastic tour guide led us with concise info at each stop with enough time to explore

"Great way to travel to Vilnius and take in the sights"

Our guide Mike was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I totally enjoyed the tour. All places were of interest and we had enough time to experience each stop. I would particularly recommend Salaspils, it was much better than expected. Lunch was very good. We had a range of ages on the tour, overall a very enjoyable experience.

"Lot to see and a lot to do"

We enjoyed the drive and sites. The guide was very helpful. The stops helped break up the trip with many interesting things to see.

"A tour beyond expectation - a most informative day"

It was a joy to travel with my driver/guide, a fresh and knowledgeable young women. I learnt so much about the region, its history, culture, economics etc which would not have been possible by any other mode of travel. In this case it was one on one and for me very much worth it. I felt relaxed and able to ask questions at any point. The choice of highlights was spot on from the sobering Salaspils Memorial, the beautiful Runsdale palace, the Hill of Crosses to Kaunas and its charm and history. The Lithuanian countryside and its agriculture was also most interesting to me. Breaks were well timed with an enjoyable time over a meal at a deer farm and some time on my own allowing me to photograph and reflect on things seen. Kamile gave me a lot of helpful information for my time alone in Vilnius enhancing considerably my time spent there. Thank you!

"Enjoyable tour"

Sten was very passionate and informative - he answered all our questions and made our day very enjoyable, despite the cold and wet weather. The highlight of our tour was having a go on a medieval "tinder" swing in Viljandi and climbing the "mountains" of Latvia.

"Fun and educational trip!"

Riga to Vilnuis

"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.

"Great tourbus"

We travelled between Lithuania and Latvia and it was fantastic. Breaks every hour or so and loads of great things to see and do. there were 10 of us so it was a very friendly feeling. A really great idea....

"Excellent tour"

Loved every minute of this tour. It’s a long day but worth it. Our guide Ruta was brilliant. Great knowledge and answered all our questions. She also took care of all our needs - comfort stops, lunch stop and coffee stop. We visited all the places listed and our guide gave information at each point. It’s also a great way to meet fellow travelers we had representatives from Thailand, Hong Kong, Brazil, Mexico and ourselves from Ireland. Ruta was a great driver and we could judge this as we rode up front. Very calm and safe. If you are considering this method of travel go for it you won’t regret it.

"Great tour"

Took the Traveller Tours trip from Riga to Tallinn early October. The guide/driver was very informative in terms of his knowledge and communication skills, this being in English, and he was able to answer any questions posed by the group. Would thoroughly recommend this company, this being the second of such intercity trips undertaken during our visit to the Baltic countries.

"Great tour, fabulous guide"

My girlfriend and I took the Traveller Tours trip from Vilnius to Riga last week. It was a minibus of up to 8 and we were a full complement. The minibus and driver/guide arrived at the designated collection point early and introduced herself to us all and made us very welcome. It was clear from the outset our guide, Ruta, was enthused and full of passion. She spoke with great enthusiasm and exceptional knowledge about her country’s history - you certainly would not have thought that English wasn’t her first language her description being in great detail. All in all a great way to travel between these beautiful cities and to gain an appreciation of their history as well as to visit several interesting places en route. Would thoroughly recommend.

"Liine"

An amazing young woman...absolutely wonderful...history..geography..nature..world savvy.. We spent a wonderful day... She even took our lunch order. And it was waiting for us...lunch was one of the best we have had on vacation. Her command of English is better than most young people from the U.S. Thank you for providing such a marvelous service.

"Best way to travel from Vilnius to Riga"

The sightseeing bus from Vilnius to Riga is amazing, there is no better way to travel between the two. Interesting stops along the way make the long distance seem short. A big thank you to our guide for making it interesting and to all my new friends for the memories and laughs I had along the way.

"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.

"Money well spent"

We upgraded to the private transfer (Riga to Vilnius) as we wanted to visit some different attractions (and also spend more time at some) to those on the group departure and it was well worth the extra expense. Beatrice met us at our apartment a few minutes early in a spacious van for a brief stop at Salaspils Memorial for a very brief stop as it started to rain. Beatrice was then able to time our stops at Rundale Palace and Hill of Crosses for longer stays while the sun was out and then drive during the rain (using a weather app we assume). We also had an extended stop in Kaunas where we visited the main churches, Beatrice showed us her favourite street art and then also visited Ninth Fort before proceeding to Vilnius, where Beatrice also assisted us in communication with the apartment owner. Overall it was like travelling with a friend rather than just a guide.

"Loved it. What a great adventure"

Such a great tour. I couldn't think of a better way to explore Latvia and Lithuania. All the stop of points were of interest to the whole group and as we were on a private tour, Mike showed great flexibility in the schedule to tailor the day to us. Mike was full of enthuasiam and knowledge which added to the experience.

"Interesting tour. "

Highly recommended. Sten was excellent guide and driver

"A great way to travel from Vilnius to Riga"

We really enjoyed the tour and many thanks to Ruta, our guide. She was very knowledgeable and is clearly very proud of her country, culture and heritage. It was a pity that it was getting dark by the time we arrived at the Salaspils Memorial, we would have loved to have seen more of it. A great day, and definitely recommended. Thank you.

"Great tour by a very knowledgeable guide"

This tour is the best way to travel from Riga to Vilnuis. Ruta our driver/guide was so knowledgeable and in the nicest way she took us to places where we would have had to organise a day tour from one or the other of the cities. We and five others were taken to Salaspils, the Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace etc. We enjoyed a nice lunch and the good company of people from other parts of the world and I would highly recommend travelling with this company. This was the 2nd tour we have done with Traveller Tours and I wish they had tours going into Poland. Much better than trains.

"Great Tour"

A really great way to get from Vilnius to Riga and see some cool places along the way!

"Baltic flavour"

This was a wonderful tour, it gives a peak in to baltic countries of Lithuania and Latvia. Tour started on time and guide was very polite enthusiastic. Time given at all locations was sufficient. Restaurant selected for lunch was very good. Drive was pleasant and our group enjoyed this trip.

"Marvelous"

Very memorable and informationfull experience.

"Good Experience "

Nice tour, friendly guide, small group

"What a wonderful experience"

We truly enjoyed our trip tour from Riga to Tallinn. Anna was our guide. She's very knowledgeable, easygoing and caring person. The trip was filled with fun, joy and excitement. Highly recommended to take this trip and learn the history behind all the places while it is still there and experience beautiful countryside.

"Great trip"

It's fun and interesting, also a a convenient, efficient way traveled from Riga to Vilnius. Kamile is very knowledgeable and even dropped us off at our Airbnb at the end of the tour. Highly recommend.

"Incredible tour with an incredible guide!"

We were lucky enough to have Ruta as our tour guide for this trip. So not only did we go to some breathtaking places and intriguing historical monuments and museums, but we also got an incredibly knowledgeable and passionate tour guide too! The places we went were stunning, particularly as it was in the height of autumn yet with blue skies and sunny weather. The Hill of Crosses and Salaspils were particular highlights of mine due to their rich history, which Ruta was an expert on! Thank you for such a great experience.

"Great day on the Riga - Vilnius tour with Ruta"

Really enjoyed this trip with our great guide Ruta. She made lots of effort to make the tour fun, whilst providing lots of interesting information along the way. Each stop Ruta gave us the key information and then enough time to explore by ourselves, unlike other tours when you feel like you're at each location far too long. Would highly recommend this if you are travelling between Riga and Vilnius.

"Must do!"

This was an amazing tour. The guide was wonderful and what better way to see two countries! He was very knowledgeable and gave us enough free time to explore on our own. I left my phone in the van and he went out of his way to contact me that evening to make sure I get my phone back.

"Slow road to Tallinn"

Andres was very informative and knowledgeable and very safe driver. An excellent alternative to an express bus or train! Thank you

"Awesome trip"

Ruta was a great guide and told us about the history and the relevance of the app the places. She is very knowledgeable

"Great tour!!"

Everything is perfectly planned. Andres is a great guide. Highly recommended.

"A wonderful experience"

It Is a tour that allows you to see wonderful places in a day instead of in more days. The guide was Simply fantastic and I learnt a lot about Baltic republics history. She was very competent and passionate.

"A recommendable tour from Riga to Tallinn"

We had a very interesting tour. Katrin, our guide was very good in giving a short and also personnel review of history of Estonia and Latvia, that gave me a better understanding of these two countries. All the stops we made were interesting. Our guide was very considerate to our small group of 7 passengers. She stopped for instance to allow me to post to cards shortly before we crossed the border. She is also a good driver and I can only recommend the tour.

"Splendid introduction to new countries"

In a small group of 7 we traveled from Riga to Tallinn, with a dedicated and inspiring guide, with great storytelling and knowledge. We heard about society, nature and personal experiences. Very valuable

"Best way to travel "

Our guide Anna was amazing! This is the only way to make this trip. The stops were interesting and informative. Definitely one to recommend. I just wish this kind of trip was available in more destinations.

"A great way to get from Riga to Tallinn"

We enjoyed a very warm guide, a nice group and interesting tours of some of the beautiful and romantic towns along the way

"Full of joy and excitement "

I must say that I was really lucky to take this fantastic tour to Tallinn from Riga. More so, it was enjoyable and remarkably fascinating because of our guide, Elina (whom we actually privileged to call Ellie), who took all the necessary steps to make it a remembering one. Not only she narrated the contemporary history but also she was through about it. With joy, laughter and happy moments prevailed through out the tour we even celebrated the Birthday of one of the group members on the way to Tallinn. A big thumbs up for Traveller tour and Elina !! I wish to recommend this tour for any prospective travellers.

"Adventures with Hannes"

What a great way to get from Riga to Tallinn! Yes, I could have taken a much quicker trip on a direct bus, but I would have missed seeing so much of the lovely countryside in Latvia and Estonia--places that are definitely off the beaten track. And I wouldn't have had half the fun I did with our charming and enthusiastic guide, Hannes, and the nice group of travelers from Brazil, Germany, the UK and Spain. From slightly rigorous forest hikes to walkabouts in historic towns to a whacky tour of the former Soviet bobsled training facilities, it was a day packed with both the fun and the serious. We also had a lovely lunch at a handsome country restaurant. Hannes was witty and good about keeping us all together. This was a great opportunity to learn tall tales and dig into the very complex history of the Baltics.

"Exclusive tour of Vilnius to Riga"

A group of 8 men and women from different parts of the world have come together to soak in the beauty of Lithuania and Latvia with clear narrative from our guide Doumants. If not for the rain we would have ran riot at each destianation most especially at the Hill of Crosses. We were all at awe of these beautiful places we would have not seen if not for Traveller Tours. Keep up the good work!

"Excellent way to travel!"

This was a brilliant, comfortable way to get between Riga and Tallinn, but more than that it allows you to experience more than just those city centres. Our guide was so knowledgeable and never rushed any part of the tour (in fact all the timing was perfect). The minivan was very spacious (which I had worried about as I'm tall and leg room is always an issue - but not this time!) and the restaurant and meal halfway was also lovely. I would highly recommend. Unfortunately we had bad weather for half the day but Sten carried on regardless and we got the best experience possible. Thanks TravellerTours.

"excellent"

a convenient way to move from Riga to Vilniaus with fun and rich places.

"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.

"Good way to explore Estonia! Excellent Guide!"

Rather than taking the direct bus from Riga to Tallinn, this is the best way to explore both countries outside the city centre. Our guide, Katrin is very friendly and knowledgable in explaining the histories of both countries and also all the attractions that we visited. She is also a very safe driver and prepared some umbrellas in case it is raining. I don't feel rushed and she is very flexible with time. On top of that, she has helped us above and beyond when my mom left her bagpack in one of the attraction sites. She makes sure that the bagpack is delivered to us the next day! We were trully appreciative of her efforts in helping us. She has truly displayed an excellent representation of Estonian who is kind hearted! The other guide, Andres who voluntereed to get the bagpack and deliver it to us is truly a star! We will remember Estonia with sweet memories not only because of the beautiful attractions that the country has but also the kind hearted people!

"Great concept + wonderful guide = amazing day"

I already liked the idea when i found this tour on the internet but it turned out to be even better. The concept makes a lot of sense because you get to see a bit more of these underrated countries besides the capitals and visit places you wouldn't have otherwise. Kamile was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, respectful and a safe driver! Thank you again Kamile! :)

"Totally Terrific Tour"

Found this company and tour on line and it sounded really good so booked! Everything was just as described and ran like clockwork but without any hassle or rushing, a great day in a wonderful holiday in Riga and Vilnius. Kamile was bright, cheerful, very knowledgeable, and a good driver. The places we visited were varied and all interesting in different ways. Kamile provided just the right amount of information and we had time to explore on our own. A bonus was meeting all the others in our group, all different ages, nationalities and backgrounds. We will remember them, Kamile and our tour for a long time to come. Highly recommend this company.

"Great trip"

Great trip, good itinerary. Guide was knowledgeable and personable and included personal experiences as well. Flexible and nice break for lunch. Perfect way to move easily between Riga and Vilnius.

"Kuldiga - the best tour of our two week stay"

We were met on time by our excellent and friendly tour guide Mikelis. We had the opportunity to see the real countryside of Kurzeme travelling through pine forests and open farmland with rustic old farms some long deserted. At every point Mikelis made admission to places effortless for us. We enjoyed the museum of cloth dolls in Sabile and the local owner showed us many of the old relics of the past. We climbed to the top of the vineyard in Sabile for a spectacular view from one of Latvia's 'mountains'. Munching an apple, we reflected on the war and bloodshed which had taken place here in the past. On to Kuldiga and lunch of authentic Latvian dishes cooked perfectly and a modern presentation in a wonderful restaurant complete with jazz music. We walked around Kuldiga's old, unchanged cobbled streets and churches. before Mikelis took us down to the widest waterfall in Europe. The local museum which is free to enter was a calm and fascinating trip back in time. Do not miss this gem. Mikelis allowed us as much time as we wished at the sites and although we had no English we were able to discuss the experiences of his parents and grandparents in the Soviet era as we described the escape of my wife's mother, uncle and grandmother during the 2nd world war. We could not have wished for a better tour nor for a better tour guide in Mikelis. We learned much more about Latvia in one day than we had in the previous 10 days.

"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!

"Good tour"

The vehicle was very comfortable for our group of 5. It was a very pleasant day, seeing more of Latvia and Estonia. However, our guide bluffed a lot of the info, was totally disengaged with us and had no consideration for anybodies speed or needs

"Great Experience!"

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

"Must-Do when in Riga"

When you stay in Riga and want to get out of the beautiful city, definitely go on this tour. Jurmala is a very nice and beautiful area close to Riga with lots of hidden, and amazing spots, which you won't find on your own. Our guide Mikelis was amazing, and we learned a lot from him about Jurmala and Latvia itself. It was also very nice seeing him again, since we already went on another tour with him last year (bus tour from Riga to Tallinn). Thank you Mikelis for everything, we really enjoyed our time together :-)

"The tour is 👍 great"

Thanks for your detailed introduction of all sights, we enjoyed our trip very much. We are all independent countries!

"Best way to travel from Riga to Tallinn"

We opted for a private tour as it was more flexible. In particular, we had visited Sigulda for a full day (by train from Riga - recommended) so we asked to skip Sigulda and spend more time at Cesis Castle (also recommended.) Note - Elina said that even on a full tour, the guide can do that if everyone agrees. Elina was full of information and had excellent conversational English. Even if you are on the small group tour (about eight people, max nine), travelling between Riga and Tallinn this way allows you to see a lot more of the country outside the capital cities.

"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.

"Fantastic day tour"

I wish there were more tours like this, that take you from one beautiful place to another and show you so much on the way! Our guide Gregor was brilliant, he had an answer to every question and have lots of insights into Estonian culture. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see behind the mask of the capitals and see real Latvia and Estonia..

"Wonderful Expjrience"

We join the tour 2 academic ladies and found 4 young impressive people and a charming young gide Fred Gregor. We visited few beautiful places and learned a lot about Eztonia Thank you very mutch

"Wonderful Experience"

This was an amazing experience with a great guide - Congrats Kamile , you've done a great job. On my personal interest I would do this tour with Trakai instead of Kaunas.

"Wonderful way to travel"

We had a great time. Saw alot and made the trip eventful. Kamile was a great guide. Lost of information and flexible.

"Fun and interesting"

We really enjoyed our recent trip. The palace and hill of crosses were fantastic and so interesting to hear the history of the two countries

"Good tour. "

Got to see several sites i wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. Well worth the time. The hill of crosses is much bigger in person. The stop for lunch was great.

"Riga to Tallinn "

Loved the tour, great way to travel between the two countries. Tour guide was amazing and we had loads of knowledge, would definitely recommend.

"Best way from Vilnius to Riga"

Recently I went in this tourist transfer van from central Vilnius to central Riga. The great advantage was travelling in a small group (only 8 people) and with a fantastic driver/tour guide. Ruta was a local, with a friendly personality and a great knowledge of the area, the history and the sites we visited. A great way to go!!!

"Great idea for travelling between Baltic capitals"

my one hesitation was the video with young backpackers running around looking like extras from the Sound of Music. In the end the eight people on the tour were of all ages.

"Fun transfer!"

We had a fantastic transfer between Riga -Tallinn! Small group tour with small towns and scenic sights along the way. Our guide was friendly and fairly knowledgeable. His driving was good too, although we are quite prone to, we didn't end up with motion sickness during the journey! Would definitely recommend 😊

"Excellent"

Great way to transfer from Vilnius to Riga

"Worth your time."

This was a great alternative to a regular bus from Riga to Tallinn. The tour was in a new minibus with only 6 passengers. The guide was a very good driver, extremely friendly, and knowledgeable about regional history and culture. We stopped at some places that really seemed to give a good representation of rural Latvia and Estonia. Most of the trip was on smaller highways and some dirt roads. It was nice to stop and spend time exploring places that had no other tourists there. I'm from the States and road trips through the country backroads are something that I have always enjoyed. This trip was exactly what I had hoped for. Highlights include: beautiful forests, teutonic castles, medieval towns, war museum, excellent restaurant for lunch, country scenery, and a bobsled track. Worth every penny!

"Vilnius to Riga"

We had a wonderful tour with Rūta. Not only was she knowledgeable about Lithuanian and Latvian history, but very passionate about Lithuanian / Latvian people and history. Her passion made the tour feel personal and I know we will always remember what we learned on our drive from Vilnius to Riga.

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

My boyfriend and I had a blast on this tour! Our guide Kamile was very friendly and knowledgeable. All four of the sights we visited were incredible and we had enough time to experience each place without feeling rushed. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting The Baltics!

"Excellent day from Riga to Vilnius!"

It was a great day driving with Ruta. She was a excellent guide as she shared all her knowledge and passion for Lithuania. I have a Lithuanian background but I learned so much from her. We could tell she spent countless hours learning the history of the Baltics. The spots we stopped along the way were breathtaking and some solemn but that is due to the history of the Baltics. I felt we had enough time at each stop. The lunch was amazing with the choice of venison entrees. It was old school Lithuanian home cooking...The tour was absolutely worth the price and more. Ačiū!!!

"Bravo"

Very good tour. Many thanks to our guide Stan.

"A Perfect Day"

Rita was absolutely wonderful!! From the meeting point on throughout the day, she was engaged and offering historical information to us. It was a varied group and she keep us all interested and focused. I would highly recommend her and this tour!!

"Fun way to travel"

It is a fun way to travel. You get to visit sites where you usually will not go during a citytrip.

"Historic journey with a great group of travellers"

We gathered in Riga and met our fellow travellers from all over the world, and Ruta our driver and guide. First stop was Salaspils prison camp to hear the beating heart monument and see the enormous statues, then Rundale to see the gardens. We enjoyed lunch at a restaurant followed by a visit to the astonishing Hill of Crosses. We stopped at Kaunas, the second largest city in Lithuania, before arriving in Vilnius in the evening. Ruta was informative and entertaining, telling us lots about the history of the places we visited, and joining in the jokes and banter in the mini-bus. Well worth taking the time to travel on this tour. Can highly recommend this trip.

"When the touring and travel meet."

This tour is a great way to see Latvia and Lithuania attraction while getting from Riga to Vilnius. It would've taken us 4 separate trips from Riga and Vilnius to see all of the attractions we have covered in one day. Our guide Kamile was very informative, upbeat and also had a good balance of quiet and tour time. Our 16 yo son was engaged and it is hard to please them at that age. I would also give huge praise to Kamille for being super helpful when we couldn't get into our hotel since we arrived late. When I couldn't reach hotel mgmt, I panicked and call the only person I knew in Vilnius at that time. Kamille was happy to help and went on looking into other available hotels even if that was not part of her job.

"Really good"

Don’t miss

"Riga to Tallinn done right "

The journey was pleasant. Each stop was as expected. The lunch stop (chosen by the driver) was 5 stars. We arrived in advance (good). The fellow passengers were pleasant and not over communicative.

"Good tour"

This tour was as advertised and expected. The guide was good.

"Interesting and beautiful tour"

I would recommand the tour. Anna was a very nice guide and told us so much about the history, the all day life of the people and the special thing of the countrys. It was very interesting. We visited special spots and I think we got a good overview about the two countrys. And yes it was a long day, but it definitly worth it. So thank you to Anna for this great tour and all the beautiful places you showed us.

"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.

"Better than expected"

Small group, slow paced, and stopping by spots that are difficult to visit if you travel alone. Great experience.

"Amazing Tour! "

After we had already been on the tour from Tallinn to Riga we knew a little bit what to expect. But also this tour exceeded our expectations by far. Our great tour guide made our trip awesome with her open nature, her enthusiasm and of course her knowledge and driving skills. Together with the other really nice passengers, we visited a piece of France in the Baltic States, saw an impressive war memorial, another town and admired the Hill of Crosses. The traditional food was also a real highlight for us. We would (and will) recommend this tour to everybody. Thank you very much for this great day!

"Great and funny tour."

Highly recommended tour, Kamille was a great driver and hostess.

"Great way to travel from Lithuania to Latvia"

The tour was great. First our tour guide, Kamile was very good at explaining the history behind the different sites and made sure that we were on time at the van to go to our next stops. The restaurant stop was great with amazing food. The tour will drop you off right in the centre of Riga and Kamile provided us with some recommendations for nice places to eat and hang out in central Riga.

"Awesome tour!!! "

This was a great tour - it gave us the opportunity to see places along the way between Riga and Vilnius that we wouldn't otherwise have seen since we were short on time.... the bus was comfortable and since the group was small it was a really enjoyable trip without the 'big group' feeling!

"Best way to travel to Vilnius "

Choosing this as an option to travel from riga to Vilnius was awesome. Comfortable small mini bus with many sight seeing stops along the way. Lunch at the restaurant we stopped at was very good. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant to be around. Even though it was raining, we had a great time and saw many sights we would not have seen otherwise.

"Very interesting tour Riga - Vilnius"

Our enthusiastic and serviceminded guide, Kamile – also being a high speed loving car driver – gave us a good impression of Latvian and Lithuanian history and contemporary lifestyle. This kind of sightseeing is highly recommended.

"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.

"Absolutely Fantastic"

Overall, I can't recommend this enough! Ruta was a really amazing tour guide, with great knowledge of the locations in both Lithuania and Latvia. The Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace and Salaspils were all incredible sites to visit, which would otherwise be hard to reach if you are just based in the capitals.

"Best way to get from Riga to Vilnius"

The tour is very well worked out. The huge sculptures at Salaspils are amazing, and you'll never see anything like the Hill of Crosses anywhere else in the world. Rundale was okay, but not particularly impressive after the palaces in St. Petersburg, and although it was nice to have a stop in Kaunas, it doesn't have the attractions of Vilnius. Ruta was very professional and a good driver

"Just brilliant "

Just an awesome day, our driver was amazing and knew so much about everything which really made the trip next level... would highly recommend, well worth the cost!

"Great tour!"

Really enjoyed our day with Kamile, she was friendly, knowledgable and kind! Would recommend!

"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

"An excellent way to transfer between countries"

The Riga to Vilnius transfer went without any hick ups. We had an guide/driver, well informed and a former Biologist. A full mini van with splendid and diverse conversation. The trip is long but a great way of getting between the two counties and visiting The Hill of Crosses on the way. Highly recommend.

"Pleasant trip from Riga to Tallinn"

A great experience. The tour was well organized. We enjoyed all the 5 stops (Sigulda, Cesis, Gaujas, Valga and Viljandu); my favorite was the military musuem in Valga. Andres is an excellent guide and a good driver.

"What a wonderful trip!"

Our tour guide drove safely and introduced sightseeing spots clearly. We enjoyed the trip very much. Thank you!

"Interesting and fun!"

Kamile was an excellent driver and tour guide. I learnt so much on this trip!

""Effective sightseeing""

If you are in the Baltic states and don't have enough time, these tours between Tallinn-Riga-Vilnius are the the best ways to get to know as much as it's possible. Kamile was an extraordinary guide! Thank you for the wonderfoul tour! The only too short stop was in Kaunas, maybe if the bus could arrive a bit later to Vilnius, that would be nice.

"Perfect way to get from A to B"

This one way bus trip is the perfect day trip. It allows you to see little known countryside towns you would otherwise never experience. It also still advances you trip rather than using a whole day only to end up back where you started. It is a wonderful introduction to the history of both countries and the trip is busy but not rushed. A perfect day trip.

"Great sightseeing tour from Riga to Vilnius"

Mike is a very knowledgeable guide and made our trip extremely enjoyable. Great way to travel from Riga to Vilnius!

"excellence experience"

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

"Bet way from Riga to Tallinn"

The tour was a great way to get from Riga to Tallinn. Van was on time, comfortable, and safely driven. Every hour or so we stopped at medieval towns with castles, national park, museum, and a bobsleigh run (much more interesting that it sounds!). Thanks Hannes for a great tour.

"Fantastic way to go between Riga and Vilnius"

My sister and I only had a few days to travel in Latvia and Lithuania, so this daylong tour allowed us to see more of both countries outside the capitals in a really neat way. We loved our guide, Kamile, who told us about each location with tons of fascinating details. The stops each added to our understanding of Latvia and Lithuania’s history and included a good amount of free time to see things on our own, which was the perfect balance. I’d highly recommend this!

"Visit places you wouldn't normally go, and wonder why you never did?"

Fantastic comfortable drive with plenty of stopoffs, great information from our host Camile. (Just don't trust her food recommendations, i.e. the beetroot soup). Best way to travel....would definitely 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!

"Fantastic tour for our Baltic journey!!"

We weren’t sure what to expect when booking this tour, but our trip from Riga to Tallinn was awesome! Mike was a fantastic guide who had a love for his country and the Baltics, and he was very tapped in to regional facts, locations and folklore. We loved every minute of the trip. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to get off the beaten path while touring the Baltic states!! We saw some amazing things we wouldn’t have otherwise seen!

"Best way to travel to Tallin "

Even though the tour is 12 hours it doesn’t really feel that long. It was really interesting and we never got bored. Our guide (Camille) was super nice and told us everything about Latvian and Estonian history. The locations we visited were very suggestive.

"Learn Baltic History and explore Nature"

Taking the Sightseeing Tour gives you great possibility to learn about the Baltic history, tasting local food and explore the wildlife. Including to eat wild berries, writing Names in Sand-Stone and seeing historical landmarks with a very passionate guide. 5-Star experience

"Excellent tour and guide"

Very interesting way to travel from vilnius to riga.

"Nice out of the track tour"

We chose this tour based on some website advice. We were very satisfied, you see places that might otherwise miss or that would need a specific trip. He chance of meeting other nice travellers is not to be disregarded too. The guides, beyond knowing the places they take you to visit, also can explain a lot about the people and the culture.

"Vilnus to riga tour"

Rota was a great guide... great countryside view... Rundale Palace was beautiful and the hill of crosses impressuve..enjoyed every minute

"Excellent experience "

We had an excellent experience on the tour. Ruta is a very passionate and knowledgeable guide.

"Great way to travel from Vilnius to Riga"

100% recommended! The tour guide (Carols? not sure how to spell it, but is the guy that studied biology) was great, super friendly and helpful :) and every place we visited was worth it, except where we ate, food was awful! I think nobody liked it. Everything else was perfect.

"Enjoyable time with Daument in Kuldiga "

Our guide, Daument is very good. He keeps the tour alive with his energetic nature n explanations of local Riga culture. Will recommend going on a tour with Daumant.

"History and nature in a short journey "

This short journey from Latvia to Estonia is a good opportunity to have a taste of history and nature of the 2 countries outside the main cities.

"Nice day trip "

The tour was well organized, we had enough time to visit every place. Mikelis was sociable, comprehensive and engaging. He brought us into the spirit of the countries visited and I personally appreciated his passion and involvement. He definetly deserves a beer on you ;)

"A really beautiful day "

A very good mix of history and beautifulyl landscape ,palace ,trees and flowers. Of course our guide -driver Ruta was the best .

"Very good trip"

Good soluzione to move between the city. Very nice guide.

"Great day trip from Vilnius to Riga"

We had a great day with Laura going from Vilnius to Riga. She is open minded, fun to be with and shared a lot of information with us about the sites. 10/10 ❤️

"Informative and a taste of the countries outside the capitals. "

We stopped at four different places, two in Latvia and two in Lithuania, which we probably would not have visited otherwise. Having one guide in a small group allowed us to discuss a number of topics other than tourist sights and share a very pleasant lunch. It’s a great idea for people travelling alone or in small groups too, Several of us met up the next day.

"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!

"Nice way to see the countryside "

Overall it was a great tour and the tour guide was fantastic. The biggest downside, if you have a group of 8, two people will be smashed in the front seat. That's three deep for more than 12 hours. It is not comfortable and something I wish I knew beforehand.

"Great tour with enthusiastic guide!"

We had a beautiful tour through Latvia and Estonia. We saw many highlights in these countries, and had enough time to explore these places. Furthermore the guide had many great stories that made the places come to livea I would recommend this tour!

"Beautiful tour with skillfull guide"

We had a beautiful tour through Lithuania and Latvia. We saw many highlights in these countries, and had enough time to explore these places. I would recommend this tour!

"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

"Relaxing way to travel from Riga to Tallinn"

The tour was a really good way to get around. Great guide and great food stop!

"Great way to travel between cities"

First stop at the Salaspils monument and museum at the Nazi punishment and labour camp. Very moving site where you can hear an eternal heartbeat. Rundale palace was magnificent with awesome gardens. Hill of Crosses was amazing with over a million crosses of all sizes. Last stop at Kaunus with time to walk around the park and old town. Our guide (so sorry can't remember his name) was a very good driver and was very informative and made the trip interesting. Arrived in Vilnius a little earlier than expected amidst the 30 year Baltic Way celebrations.

"Great Tour with a Great Tourguide!"

Daumants was great!! Super knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and energetic. I would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone who wants to dive farther into the Baltic experience than “just” visiting the capitals.

"A fascinating tour and a complete journey"

We had an amazing journey with our guide and the pleasant group that was created. In a few hours we experienced particular things that we wouldn't ever seen without the tour, in particular the Gauja park, Cesis Castle and the fantastic typical lunch. An unexceptionable note is Uku, our guide: a knowledgeable and a very polite boy who took care of us for all the tour's duration making our trip unforgettable; he is also a good driver! In our opinion the only thing we would avoid is the visit to the war's museum because it's too tiring and not visiting it would reduced the duration of the trip.

"Worth it!"

Mike has been a comprehensive and comitted guide. This is the real good way to learn a lot and making a transfer between two capital cities a memorable experience ! We recommend

"Interesting, informal and pleasant"

Karolis is a friendly guide who immediately made us feel at ease, and gave us a lot of interesting information about each stop along the view. The small group of 8 people is a plus: we made friends with almost all of the participants. The time in each stop is adeguate to tour the place and the places themselves are quite interesting and worthy of visit. The general price is honest. I would definitely recommend this tour to other tourists.

"Worth doing!"

Interesting & a great way to see the country. Fun, genuine guide

"Nice tour to go from Vilnius to Riga"

Nice tour going through interesting sites. Kamile our tour guide was really cool, telling us stories and the story about Lithuania and Latvia and giving us tips for our stay in Riga. I would prefer to exclude Kaunas from the tour and add more time at the Rundāle Palace (as I personally like to explore the cities with more time) but apart from that all was fine.

"Wonderful day"

It was a very enjoyable day with a lot of sightseeing with good company and a fantastic guy whose English was impeccable. We made about 9 stops through the journey. We had a late lunch, but very delicious in a little hotel with plenty of hunting trophies at the border town of Estonia. They guide was very good and approachable who had a very good knowledge of history of the Baltic States.

"Great way to travel between Riga and Tallinn"

Fun and historic places that we wouldn't have visited, as we had not rented a car. Loved Viljande and the bobsleigh track. Not convinced about the military museum though. Very friendly guide, who was eager to tell us about her beautiful country,

"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).

"fantastic trip"

beautiful and funny trip exploring some interesting places like a war museum of valga or cesis castle. the driver and guide was very kindly and friendly

"Great tour"

Great tour. Very informative. Really enjoyed the venison restaurant. Thanks a lot.

"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!

"Very pleasant trip"

The stops were all very nice, and the explanation and cultural discussions were terrific.

"Very pleasant trip"

Enjoyed all the stops, and the slightly early arrival in Tallinn

"The rain did not bother us anyway..."

The tour was one of its kind. We had a very rainy day full of activities that seemed to compensate for the gloomy weather. The giant swing in Viljandi was the best. Loved the Latvian wilderness...

"Great Transit & Tour"

What a fantastic day from Riga to Tallinn! Anna was our guide, and she is wonderful. She is talkative, positive, and knowledge. I absolutely loved the stop at the bobsled track, where we got to watch lots of Russian athletes use the track. I absolutely LOVED that we were able to stop for coffee and lunch along the route. I would have been miserable otherwise! I was a solo traveler and we had multiple solo travelers on the trip, which made it very enjoyable. I would have liked to visit the castle in Cesis, but that is really the only thing that I missed. I would like to explore your other options for tours in different countries. Where I can find this information?

"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...

"City to city transfer with a difference!"

This is definitely the BEST way to transfer between Riga and Vilnius - with four really interesting and varied stops along the way - the Salaspils memorial, the beautiful Rundale Palace (the largest in the Baltic states), the unique Hill.of Crosses, and the very pretty former Lithuanian capital of Kaunas. A lovely lunch stop is also included - venison steak excellent. Our guide and driver Kamile was bubbly, chatty, informative and pleasant - despite having to drive 450 kn in a day! The only suggestion I would make for improvement is that possibly a little longer could be given time-wise at the Rundale palace for those travelers who want to see inside the palace in addition to having a look around the beautiful gardens.

"Simply Awesome"

The experience was fantastic. Guide Kamile was awesome. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and always smiling. The food at that restaurant was excellent. Overall it was money well spent. Will definitely recommend others to try out this tour.

"Really great tour!"

A terrific way to get from Vilnius to Riga (or vice versa). Great value! Our guide Ruta was a great source of information for not only history but current conditions in the Baltics. Highly recommended!

"Very comfortable tour"

The guide was quite good but he can't do so much better

"Great way to travel between Riga and Vilnius"

Great way to travel between Riga and Vilnius which allowed us to see and experience several key sights along the journey such as Rundale Palace, Hill of Crosses, Kaunas and Trakai. Mikelis was a great guide who was very knowledgeable, friendly and kind towards my elderly Mother who travelled with me. Overall the trip was insightful and efficiently and punctually run! Keep up the good work!

"Best way to travel riga to tallin"

We were very lucky with our guide Kamil, she was very helpful, informative, jolly, funny and a good driver too. The stops we made were enjoyable and helped to break the journey. We particularly liked the bob sleigh stop and the national park. It would have been fun to go down the bob sleigh run on bicycles, but we understand the need for health and safety !! We recommend the tour highly especially as Kamil was kind enough to stop to let us off early in Tallin so we were closer to our hotel. Very helpful.

"More than a transfer from A to B: This adds information, experience and nice company"

After travelling from Vilnius to Riga with the Sihghtseeing Tour Bus, we continued the trip a few days later from Riga to Tallinn with the same tour operator, but different group, different tour leader and of course different route with different stops. This time: a sport site (bob and luge track in Sigulda), a romantic old town (Cesis), a walk in the national park (Gaujas), a military museum (Valga) and castle ruins (Viljandu). Entrance fees were included. Our tour leader was Estonian. He talked a lot about his home country and its history, but didn't know much about Latvia. In one case I even think he mixed up Latvia and Lithuania. Also the announcements (how long will we stop here?) were not always audible in the car. What is spoken in the drivers seat can not always be heard in the back. This is the reason for the missing fifth star. Besides this, the tour was fun. Of course it is a long day and near the end the country roads get a bit boring. However it is the perfect way to travel from Riga to Tallinn if you are not only looking for a transfer but for information, experience and nice company. Definitely recommend!

"Great selection of sights - Wonderful tour leader"

When you are on your tour through the Baltic states and want to travel from capital to capital, the Sightseeing Bus is the right choice if you do not only want to get from A to B, but if you want to see more of the region, learn about the sites and meet other people (but not too many). Our tour from Vilnius to Riga was perfectly organised. The four sites to visit were quite different: a historic city center (Kaunas), a religious pilgrim place (hill of the crosses), a baroque palace (Rundale) and a memorial site (Salaspils). Entrance fees were included. Ruta was a good and safe driver. I liked her diverse taste for music and the variety of musical styles that we heard during the trip. What really makes her stand out as a tour guide (and we have seen many) is her anticipation of the guests' needs. She answers before the question arises. All explanations were clear and precise, and she explained a lot, always adding a humouros note. Her enthousiasm is great and covered all sites in both countries. Definintely recommend! The special gift at the end of the trip: a city map of Riga with recommendations written by locals. However, it is from last year and already partly outdated, as some of the described cafes no longer exist.

"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

"Great way to transfer between cities"

The stops were great and gave me a good look at Lithuania and Latvia outside of the capital cities. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgable with history; which meant that I learned a lot from her. Would reccommend this transfer.

"Amazing good guided overview about latvian and estonian countrysideat 10.August 2019."

In a comfortable new 9-seat van we get an excellent tour not only about countryside between Riga and Tallinn, but also an historical&cultural overview with all its details about development of populatian,language, traditional food, music etc. Private story of family and experiences of our guide added to the normal facts made it very special. I recommend it to all newbys in Latvia&Estonia!!!

"Interesting way to travel from Latvia to Tallin"

I loved the tour and the company. If you want a nice trip between Riga and Tallin rather than a boring journey I would recommend it. Small negative I felt the tour guide was more interested in Estonian history than Latvian and we could have had more historical detail. Not sure about the military museum as I have an aversion to nationalism and militarism and the exhibits were only labelled in Estonian. It was interesting however to learn about Estonia’s struggle for independence. Lunch in Valga was great food. Other highlights were the Gauja national park and Viljendi.

"Fabulous!"

We spent a lovely day sightseeing with a fun group and learned so much about the local history from our extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. Perfect way to travel from Riga to Tallinn!!

"Great way of travelling from Riga to Tallinn"

A great tour taken by Sten, don't feel rushed at all and we have some to explore a bit ourselves sometimes too. I think its a convenient way making your way from Riga to Tallinn

"Best option from Vilnius to Riga!"

While organizing our Baltic holidays we found out there are not many options to travel between Vilnius and Riga, and this tour probably is the best one! We could travel confortably and safely while visiting some interesting places we would have not be able to reach by ourselves (some of them we actually didn't even know of, like Salaspils Memorial which turned out to be our favourite one!). Ruta was a perfect guide and gave us all the basic infos about the places, without making it too long and boring. At first I wasn't really happy to find out Trakai was taken out of the tour, but now I can easily see it perfectly makes sense as it's very easy to visit by yourself, and would have taken too much time away to all the other places, which are a bit rushed already. Even if you're not a "social" person, the Van is large and confortable so you will have all the "personal space" you will need. My husband and I surely recomend this tour as the best way to move from Vilnius to Riga!

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

Vergeet een saaie verplaatsing en koppel het functionele aan het aangename. Geniet van het landschap , de uitleg en de goedgekozen tussenstops. Aanrader!

"A great way to travel"

Combining inter-city travelling, and rural sightseeing, is a great concept. We left Vilnius with Ruta at the wheel, and stopped at 4 very different places in rural Lithuania and Latvia. Ruta's knowledge and passion about her homeland made it an informative journey, and the group of 8 international travellers is enough to be comfortable. Highly recommend this trip.

"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.

"Efficiant and interesting way to travel from Riga to Vilinius"

We travelled as a group of six, from Hong Kong and Japan,. Although we have not been lucky in terms of weather (cloudy and rainy), we were very lucky to have Kamile as our guide. The tour itself was very well balanced in where to stop and what to see; we enjoyed the coutryside and learned a lot about the history of both Latvia and Lithuania. Kamile was also extremely helpful when, at the end of the tour at Vilinius, the hosts of one of our Airb&bs were quite irresponsible and our friends could not enter the apartment. She helped us communicate with the hosts by phone and although it must have taken longer than usual, she's dropped us all at our respective lodgings. Thank you so much! I highly recommend this mode of travel as it is much more fun than flying.

"Great tour to Tallinn"

We had a great tour from Riga to Tallinn. Our guide was very experienced and we got to know more about the history of Latvia and Estonia. highly recommended

"Excellent, fun trip"

Really enjoyed this. It's a leisurely way to get from one city to the other, with the journey broken up so you never feel like you're in the van for too long. The tour guide was friendly and extremely knowledgable, and the choice of restaurant for lunch was great: good food, swiftly served.

"best way to travel from riga to vilnius"

we loved the tour. beautiful nature and impressive monument, castle, hill of crosses etc. anna rocked big time. 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!

"Great travel!"

Kamile was wonderful! Great driver and full of interesting information!

"Great way to travel between Vilnius and Riga"

Very nice opportunity to see places hard to reach by public transport if you haven't rented a car. Our guide (Kamile) was very friendly, and a good driver!

"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

"great tour"

It was an interesting tour as we saw parts of the countryside that we would not have made the effort or had the time to see. The guide was excellent and the trip was an enjoyable occasion for our diverse group of 3 generations

"Excellent tour"

An excellent way to travel from Vilnius to Riga, tour was very well organised splitting up the journey and enjoying good sightseeing places. Definitely recommend. Our guide Kamile was very good and happy to answer any questions.

"Fun, interesting Riga - Tallinn trip"

A very fun, interesting & efficient way to get from Riga to Tallinn & see & learn a lot along the way! Elina was a great, informative guide & managed the trip perfectly, and the small group format was ideal. I really liked the variety of the visits (focusing on nature, history, sports...) & had a very enjoyable day which was a highlight of our Baltic trip. Highly recommended, thank you!

"Great way to get to Tallinn"

We were looking for a way to get from Riga to Tallinn while seeing some more of the countryside and were very happy with our choice. The day was great, our guide was fun and knowledgable and the stops along the way were interesting. Would definitely recommend it to others.

"Best way to travel from Vilnius to Riga!"

This is such an enjoyable and efficient way to travel from Vilnius to Riga, getting to see sights off the cities which would have required separate day trips. Having a guide like Ruta was such a bonus too as she has such bright, positive and infectious energy (you can tell she absolutely loves her job and what she does!). I also liked that this mode of travelling was kept small but yet allowed us to get to know fellow travellers from other parts of the world. Glad we made the choice to travel this way!

"Perfect tour to enjoy the road from Riga to Tallinn"

The tour was really great. Anna, the guide, was really nice and prepared. Everything is really well planned

"A really nice experience"

We had a great time during the tour. It was very informative and a good way to experience the countries from a different perspective. It was a big plus that it was a small group on tour, only six persons, which made for a more personal and unique experience. We had a passionate guide who really knew his stuff. We can truly recommend taking this tour.

"Local charm"

A very enjoyable day, chatting with a local about life in the Baltics and much more, while visiting great sights along the way. Good choice of sights, not too many, not too few, so that we got something out of each stop while not being too rushed.

"One of the most knowledgeable guide tour out there"

Robert is an nearly infinite well of knowledge about all subjects. He made this trip extremely educational and interesting. Despite the rain and the poor weather, we had a great time with him and the rest of the bus. He even decided to show us his hometown of Tartu instead of the usual (less interesting imho) path. His passion for history is contagious and I would recommend this tour 100%. Merci Robert!

"A singing introduction to Baltic countries"

The tour did exactly what the website described and more. Mike sang, explained and made us pass an excellent time during these 10+ hours. We didn't see the time pass and learned so much about both Lithuania and Latvia. I would recommend it 100%. Merci Mike!

"A very passionate tour of Latvia and Estonia"

Daumants enjoyed guiding us through the tour, he was highly motivated and enriched the experience with his personal life stories. If you wanna have a sip of these countries and you don’t have much time this is definitely a must.

"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!

"Nice!"

The trip was excellent! Everything was organised perfectly, our guide Adam was telling us interesting and sometimes funny stories about the places we visited and life in Lithuania and Latvia. Also, the restaurant we stopped for lunch was very nice with outside tables by the pond. Full recommendation!

"Great way to travel between Tallinn and Riga"

Our driver guide, Anna, was great. She made the trip fun.

"Very nice tour to Vilnius "

I can for sure recommend this tour. We saw very nice and interesting places on our way from Riga to Vilnius and got very good information on the way

"Interesting and good pace"

Rūta was a great guide too

"A great journey "

The places we went to were amazing. We spent enough time in each place. The tour guide was helpful and professional.

"Excellent Tour but ¿is Latvia Still under Soviet Control,"

Ruta is an excellent tour guide. Our first stop was Salaspil, Latvia which was a Nazi camp. However, as we well know while the Soviets were building this Memorial Park, they (Stalin...Brezhnev) were shipping Latvians to Siberian Gulags. ¿Why haven't the Latvians built some Memorial here to all the Latvians that disappeared during the Communist Era. Or: ¿Is Latvia Still under Soviet Control?

"Travelling all over the countryside with Karolis"

Great day with a great guide and group of fellow travellers

"Best way to get from Riga to Tallinn"

We had the most wonderful day and learned so much from our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. The stops were all interesting and lunch was delicious.

"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!

"Best way to transfer from Vilnius to Riga"

The sightseeing tour was a great experience. The stops along the way made the transfer between Vilnius and Riga a great and interesting experience. With our great guide, we had a good time and I can only highly recommend it!

"It's a long way to Tallinn"

It is interesting and very entertaining, but very tiring too. Our guide was great, with singing and drama and jokes. We thought the visit to the military "museum" was completely unnecessary as it is very poor and there's really nothing interesting there. Also we were horrified that they sold nazi uniforms there.

"Essential for your trip!"

Cannot recommend this trip enough. Nice comfy bus, very helpful, friendly and informative guide and saw a load of sites I wouldn’t have been able to get to by myself. A great start to my trip. Would definitely recommend as an exciting way to transfer from Riga to Vilnius.

"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!

"Very entertaining"

Excellent trip

"A great trip!"

It was a really rewarding experience,we got to see sights in both countries we wouldn't see on our own!The guide was very helpful, cheerful and gave us lots of useful and interesting information about the sights and monuments we saw.

"Unbeatable way to travel between cities "

So glad we some time out to take the slow van from Riga to Tallinn, stopping off at an eclectic mix of sites and smaller towns in the beautiful Latvian and Estonian countryside and learning about the history of multiple occupations, national pastimes and temperaments. Thoroughly recommended.

"Nice tour from Riga to Tallinn"

I had this trip with my 3 friends and we will definitely recommend this trip. The places you visit are great! The guide Mike was perfect, his enthusiasm was great and he told us a lot about the history of Estonia and Latvia.

"Perseverance in the face of rain"

Though continuously chased and and caught by the rain, Anna never lost her smile nor the enthusiasm and pride with which she told us about Latvia and the Baltic countries as a whole. The tour has a quirky mixture of stops, making it a lot of fun and providing opportunities to learn about many different aspects of Latvia and Estonia. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to take advantage of a day of travel between the capitals.

"Great choice to go from Riga to Tallinn!"

Our guide was a historian and could explain to us absolutely every historical detail during the trip and the visits. 100% recommendable!

"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.

"The best!"

Ruta was the best guide

"Best way to travel between capitals"

Excellent trip with our very knowledgeable guide Karolis - great to see sights we wouldn't be able to see otherwise and really good to learn a bit about the history and stories behind the places we visited. Really nice to travel with others and share experiences, in a comfortable minibus with big windows. And the lunch in a typical Lithuanian restaurant was delicious.

"Excellent tour"

Rota is very nice and explains very clearly to us in every steps.

"Super"

Very friendly and informative guide

"Great Tour"

Perfect experience. Guide is nice, car is comfortable, and the points we visit are all very worth going. The place to have lunch is beautiful and food is good yet price is not high.

"Highly recommended"

Great sightseeing trip from Riga to Vilnius. Many interesting stops and a nice restaurant for lunch. The tour guide Beatrice had great knowledge about the places we stopped.

" I am thankful that I took this tour!"

Tour was great and so was the guide. I am aware that visit to Trakai was recently taken off the scope of this tour. But I think instead of Rundale Parish, Trakai still would be a better alternative. The Parish is nothing other than an old mansion on a poor garden. I believe that part should be reconsidered. Other locations were cool places to visit and our guide was really amazing. I am thankful that I took this tour!

"Must do"

Excellent tour, nice places to visit

"Amazing! "

I took this tour from Vilnius to Riga. It was really interesting and well-organised. Overall, our guide, Ruta was fantastic! She was very kind, helpful and teacher us some very interesting things about all the places we saw and replied to all our questions! We were always in time, the trip was confortable and I loved to meet each other people! Once I'll return to Baltic States, I'll absolutely take this opportunity again to see what is a little bit far from the capitals. Thank you Traveller and thank you Ruta! See you on my next trip!

"."

A great way to learn more about the countries I visited, and to see memorable places I would otherwise not get to see. This was my second tour and the guides were both knowledgeable and happy to share their love of their country. Felt very safe with the driving .

"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.

"A day well spent in the Baltic countryside"

This was a great tour to make the most of the day travelling between Vilnius and Riga. We had various stops at interesting historical sites in Lithuania and Latvia (as well as a rest stop for WC use and snack buying). Kamile was open to all questions and clearly communicated to the group the timeline for the day. There is a lunch break but it is good to come prepared with some snacks for the morning and afternoon rides.

"Great tour"

Great tour, knowledgeable, nice guide, good lunch, absolutly loved the national park with the sandy cliffs :)

"A fun, unconventional tour from Vilnius to Riga"

From our friendly, knowledgeable guide Kamile to our interesting co-travelers, this was a fun and informative series of visits from Vilnius to Riga. The most powerful one was in Salaspils where Kamile shared her own family’s suffering at the hands of the Soviets. It spurred a fascinating discussion linking the horrors of the Holocaust to those of Soviet occupation. One of the guides from a companion group joined us, adding much to the give an take, There was much to learn and much to acknowledge. But there was also the opportunity for interesting and friendly chat over a tasty lunch. Our group was very international, representing 3 continents. Many thanks also to Kamile who offered to drop us off at our hotel at the end of the ride. Much appreciated since we were the “old folks” among these wonderful, youthful travelers. Great to have all the stops along the way, but really missed not going to Trakai. Would have traded Kaunas for that experience, for sure.

"nature"

Nice trip with 2 interesting stops in small village. Interesting to see the landscape and nature especially with our guide karolis, who is an nature expert!

"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.

"Great tour! "

I really enjoyed the tour, it was so much better than going straight from Riga to Tallinn. We were a small group of 6, we had several stops on the way to discover the inner lands and Andres our guide was amazing giving us plenty of information and anecdotes with lots of sense of humor. I definitely recommend it!

"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.

"Fantastic day"

This trip from Riga to Vilnius is really not to be missed. The guide, Beatrice, was amazing (friendly, funny and very knowledgeable). The stops offer something for everyone. Highly recommended

"Fun Way to Get Between Riga and Tallinn"

Got to see a lot of Estonia and Latvia I otherwise would have missed. Guides were friendly and fun.

"Fun, facts and not so many freeways"

As an alternative to flying or getting the coach between capitals, this is great. The journey times between stops are very manageable (with plenty of toilet stops for those who need it), the bus is comfortable and roomy, and the places you visit are varied and interesting. The highlight for me was the Salaspils Memorial Ensembe. Beatrice was a great driver and guide, and she has a wonderful singing voice! Lucky to share the journey with some wonderfully interesting fellow travellers.

"Best way to get to Tallinn from Riga!"

Really great time with Robert going from Riga to Tallinn. Really enjoyed Robert’s knowledge on local history as it added a lot to the experience!

"Great way to get from Vilnius to Riga"

We were a group of five people from Argentina, Belgium, Brazil and Germany traveling with our guide Ruta from Vilnius to Riga. Ruta was a very knowledgeable guide, who was passionate about her home country and gave us los of interesting information on the history and culture of Lithuania and Latvia. She was very pleasant and friendly and always wore a smile on her face. The places we visited are not easy to reach if not by driving, so this was an excellent way to see places I probably would not have seen otherwise. At every stop, Ruta gave us an introduction to the history of the place and then gave us time to roam around and explore by ourselves.

"The guide is very informative and funny "

My family and I like the tour very much. Our guide Beatrice is very professional and cheerful. The tour can bring us to several main tourist sites in one day. It did save us lots of time.

"Good moment"

I loved Ruta. She is attentive, friendly and does her job very well. The tour is great, but I highlight the Ruinsdale Palace and the Soviet Monument. In the other hand, I just think lunch should be included in the price.

"Enthusiastic guide through latvia and lithuania."

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

"A great tour"

A very nice guide. She did her best to make our trip an exciting one. I strongly recommend this tour rather than a direct one.

"Great way to travel between the cities"

The tour was a great way to travel between Riga and Tallinn and see some of the smaller towns and the countryside outside of the main city. The tour was a great size with only 8 people, it felt very personal. Anna was a great guide and was very knowledgeable.

"Best Way to Travel in the Baltics!"

We took the tour from Riga to Vilnius, and absolutely loved it. Our guide, Kamile, was incredible. She went above and beyond to take care of us and teach us about these places. The stops on the tour were amazing and educational. The lunch that we had was absolutely delicious. We really could not have asked for a better experience. We absolutely recommend these trips to anyone travelling in the region who wants to see and learn a lot.

"Enthusiastic travel to Vilnius"

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

"Great way to travel"

Our guide/driver Kamile, was excellent. Enough information but not to much and a superb driver . The places we stopped at were varied and interesting and lunch was really good.

"Fantastic and fun!!!"

Rūta was our guide and she was exceptionally great-knowledgeable, accommodative and a good listener. We covered all the places from Vilnius to Riga journey as mentioned in the your. We left on time and reached our destination comfortably. It didn’t seem like a 12 hr journey even though it was! I highly recommend Rūta and her company.

"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?

"What a nice trip "

We visited Salaspils memorial, Rundale castle, the hill of croses and Kaunas. Our guide Ruta was great. We had a little bit of free time at every stop. The tour lasted from 9am to 8 pm.

"Seeing the local country side"

In every country, you got to see the hinterland and not just only the capital. Good wat to get a feel of the place. Estonia isn’t a crowded place, but you get a feel of the country and the people. Good thing to do when you need to go to Tallinn and went to see something out of the beaten beaten path.

"Raccomando questo transfer"

Abbiamo trovato il viaggio estremamente interessante per i luoghi visitati, mancava forse una mezz'oretta a Kaunas. Estremamente piacevole e gentile anche la nostra accompagnatrice Ruta!!!

"Interesting tour"

It was great to see so many interesting sites and get all the interesting information from our guide.

"Best way to travel from Riga to Tallinn"

The tour was very good. We stopped at nice and interesting places. Our tour guide Hannes was a fun person, I can recommend him. Sadly one stop was closed because of a local celebration. I would have liked that they are aware of that beforehand and would plan an alternative stop instead. Thanks Hannes for the fun trip!

"The way to go 👍🏻 "

Well worth the cost, such an excellent way to get from Riga to Vilnius. Karolis was an excellent guide and it certainly doesn't feel like you are spending 12 hours on a bus journey.

"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!!!

"Nice and fun trip to Riga"

It was my right decision to travel to Riga with Traveller, instead of going by a local bus. The 4 stops are really interesting plus a nice restaurant with good taste and reasonable prices. The most important is the guide, who is Beatrice. She is a wonderful woman. She is funny and super friendly. She entertained the group quite well and gave us enough information, plus she has wonderful voice. However, I also have got a negative comment about my seat. My seat was just next to the driver. Actually, it was so nice to sit next to the lovely driver like Beatrice, However, my seat is so narrow. I couldn't extend my legs through the trip to Riga. I would suggest either to skip this seat or the tour guide should come up with an idea to rotate the seat. (I took the trip from Riga to Tallinn, one of our group suggested doing like this, which was very nice. We all can move around not fix to someone through the trip and fair to the one who sits at the bad seat.

"Another great day with Tallinn Tours!"

Liine was an excellent guide! Full of interesting and engaging information, and she was very flexible with our interests. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.

"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!

"Riga–Vilnius Sightseeing Tour Bus"

The tour was brilliant. A wonderful way to get from Riga to Vilnius. Our guide was charming, witty, spoke excellent English and could sing. Kept us entertained for the whole trip! I'd certainly do it again.

"Flexible and informative"

We were met by our guide, Beatrice, who was welcoming and relaxed. She gave a good overview of the tour, assisted with the stowage of the luggage and got us underway promptly. We visited several places of historical interest, where just the right amount of information was given. The group followed Beatrice's lead and relaxed and joked happily together for the day. Her love of country and delightful personality made the rather long day a very pleasant and informative time for us. Highly recommended tour.

"It was a great decision!"

I was quite happy with my decision to go on the tour. Karolis (LT) was very knowledgeable about the region, culture, history, and I appreciate hearing them. In addition, he is simply sweet and kind.

"Brilliant way to travel! "

Absolutely the best way to travel, I wish there would be more routes than there is today. I went from Riga to Vilnius with Beatrice and it was awesome! Brilliant driver and guide and we got to see all the interesting things on the way.

"Way to Go!"

This tour was a great decision with its combination of transport and sightseeing. Mike was friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. He obviously had a real passion for the areas we visited - he even sang stirring Latvian songs for us. We got to see places we would never have thought to visit and learn the basics of Lithuanian and Latvian history. Initially we thought this would be a difficult day due to its length, but the trip was broken into easily manageable sections and the time just flew.

"The BEST way to get to Riga!"

We had so much fun traveling with our small group and AWESOME guide from Vilnius to Riga. We explored Kaunas, had a delicious lunch at a lovely restaurant, explored the Hill of Crosses and Rundale palace gardens and even had time to stop at the Salaspils memorial site. A perfect way to go from city to city- see the sites along the way while garnering so much good information from a personable guide and making good friends from all around the world during the trip! What could be better than that?! We usually try to piece together public transportation to get around, but we are so glad we chose Traveller Tours instead. Don't think twice about it, book it!

"A fruitful tour"

Our tour guide, Ruta, is very knowledgeable, she is friendly. And I and my family really enjoyed the trip. At each stop, she told us about the history of the place clearly. The places we visited are very good, hard to access by ourselves. Many thanks go to Ruta.

"Great transfer tour!"

It is a great and interesting method to move between cities in baltic states. We stopped at some very interesting spots on the way which are not reachable by public transport. Beatrice is our guide. Energetic, talkative and caring! Highly recommend esp for people dunno driving like me.

"Fantastic day tour!"

I had an awesome time doing this tour and I fully recommend it. Our guide Rūta was highly competent and shared a lot of historical facts with great passion. She also took care of every detail: music playlist, food suggestions, questions and responsable driving, always with a big smile. The hill of crosses, the Rundāle palace and the memorial monument were definitely the highlights for me, but highly unreachable by public transportation as they are in the middle of nowhere. So this is definitely a great option to get yourself from Vilnius to Riga without missing these interesting places.

"Best way to see the countryside! "

Beatrice was an excellent, enthusiastic and friendly guide! She even went out of her way to return lost property to us, brining it to where we were staying later in the evening. The sites were well chosen to make the most of travelling between 2 capitals. Highly recommended!

"What an interesting and pleasent journey!"

Everything was fine, good company, beautiful places, nice guide.

"Amazing day trip recommended for everyone "

We took a trip from Riga to Vilnius with Beatrice. It was a truly amazing day. We saw a lot of interesting places which we otherwise never would have seen. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Beatice's excitement was very infectious and her personal insights and stories made this a perfect tour.

"Informative "

Kristin was knowledge and patient with all of us. Great trip! I would recommend it

"Excellent way to go from Riga to Vilnius"

It was an excellent experience to go from Riga to Vilnius. The free time given to each attraction was exactly what we needed. Tour guide Karolis was explaining with every detail each attraction and he was able to answer every question while he was really friendly always with a smile despite so many hours of driving and guiding. The restaurant we went was really cosy and cute!!! Thank you for this experience

"The Perfect Transfer Tour"

This is a great way to see more sights while transferring from Riga to Vilnius. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. My only recommendation is if we’re running late and a sight we should see closes soon, make sure to go there first upon arrival, then see the remaining sights in the town.

"12 hours with a tireless and cheerful guide "

Recommend the tour, much better than flying

"Great Experience"

This is my second experience with your respectful company ,Tour is really exciting & Comprehensive , The Big Thanks goes to our guide Beatrice was amazing and so friendly.

"Interesting and fun way to get to Tallinn"

Otherwise, due to lack of time, I wouldn't have seen those places and gone straight to Tallinn by bus. Nice guide, Uku

"Very worthwhile tour"

I enjoyed hearing our guide, Katrin, share those stories from her heart. She's very willing to help and also a very gentle driver! I am happy to be part of this group and visit spots that I wouldn't be able to reach easily by public transportation.

"Fun way to get from riga to villinus"

What an amazing trip! I would not recommend going from riga to villinus any other way. One of the best tours and kamile was amazing!

"Lovely slow way of traveling"

Our guide Karolis was really friendly and an expert when it comes to flora. He learned me a lot about the environment we traveled through. The trip also gave me the possibility to visit Viljandi, which is the most beautiful place I've seen in Estonia so far (after three visits). The whole trip I've felt really comfortable. Karolis his genuine interest in the motivations of people to visit Riga and Tallinn made the trip really pleasant as well.

"Long ride worth the sights"

We also took the trip from Vilnius to Riga. We got what we hoped for: visits to the countryside to explore instead of just driving by. We stopped at a bobsledge venue, sandy cliffs, small towns with nice vistas, a military museum and had lunch at a fantastic hole-in-the wall in a town split by the border. As for our ride the guide was knowledgeable and drove safely. Bring some snacks. Water was provided.

"Scenic ride and unique sights"

We chose this trip over the regular bus/train services to see something of the countryside. We were not disappointed. Had a chance to explore Kaunas and see the Hill of Crosses and a Soviet WWII monument. Not sure if all tours are the same tough. Also stopped for lunch, but having snacks for the nearly 12 hours helped (water was provided). Our guide was very knowledgeable and drove very safely... both are qualities highly appreciated. And yes... the 12 hours are long and tiresome at times, but otherwise we would have missed the countryside. We also did the Riga-Tallinn ride.

"Riga-Vilnius!!!"

Great way to move from one capital to the next. I did the Riga-Vilnius trip. We stopped at some very interesting spots on the way that would take half or full day trips to visit on our own. Highly recommended!

"The ONLY was to travel between Riga & Tallinn"

This was a great way to get from Riga to Tallinn & actually see some of the countryside along the way, while hearing about both countries & being able to ask questions. Eight passengers is a great number & the vehicle was very comfortable. We enjoyed the whole day & would recommend this as the only way to travel between the two cities. Uku was fantastic & happy to answer any questions we put to him. Gave us lots of great info on Tallinn as well.

"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!

"Lots of fun!"

After using Traveller Tours for our Riga-Vilnius trip, we booked them again to take us from Riga-Tallinn. Our guide "Mike" was great and we enjoyed all the stops along the way. I highly recommend Traveller!

"Great overview of both countries and the history"

The tour was a great way to see the country side for both countries, learn about the rich history, see the economic differences, visit cities off the map, and add to the European trip. Along the way we visited a brewery, military museum, national park, remains of a castle, and a national park. Our guide Mike was the best guide for such an experience as he told folklore and sang! This is a great way to see behind the scenes of the country. The 12 hours was long, and perhaps could be shortened to 10, but it was well worth the time, effort, and expense. Very much recommend it.

"Great way to get between capitals as long as tour company get their act together regarding transport."

Great way to get between capitals and see some of the sights on the way. The guides are very good and helpful. However our mini bus was a disaster. The seat belts did not work and eventually the bus broke down altogether. Another bus had to be arranged which meant we spent quite some time in a service station. ⁷Disappointing as not cheap.

"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.

"Great trip from Vilnius to Riga "

We had a fantastic day exploring the Lithuanian and Latvian country, and learnt a lot about the two places. Our guide Beatrice was incredible. She kept high energy all day and was so much fun.

"Great trip from Riga to Tallinn"

We really enjoyed our day trip and gave as a better understanding of the two countires, which is often missed when only visiting capital cities. It was a very long day, and the last section was about 2 and a half hours, so my back was a little sore the ne t day. Our guide was a little quiet a reserved, but extremely knowledgeable about each of the places we visited.

"Very interesting. "

Very nice guide with plenty of information on country...

"Very lively trip!"

Very nice trip from Riga to Vilnius: the places we visited were impressive (concentration camp, crosses hill) or gorgeous (palace, Kaunas). My daughters especially enjoyed to have Mikelis ("Mike") as guide since they were all students. A splendid experience. Sincerely recommended!

"One of the best ways to travel between these 2 countries!"

I was happy to be able to visit the Latvian and Lithuanian countryside and learn a lot about these two countries at the same time. The car ride was long but that was also how we got to ask questions to know better of the lands. Our guide, Karolis, also told us many jokes that are both funny and informative! I enjoyed this tour a lot and highly recommend it.

"Riga to Vilnius"

This tour is a fantastic way to travel between the Baltic capitals - public transport in these countries is not fabulous but on this tour, you get to easily travel from country to country whilst experiencing some of the sights and history along the way. Our guide, Kamile, was well versed in the history of the region and was a lovely companion as well. The only constructive feedback I have is that two such tours were run that day - I was in a mini bus at full capacity (eight passengers) but the other tour only had three people in the same sized mini-bus...

"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!

" Excellent guide!"

Our bus had six passengers and a driver. The small number of passengers made the experience much more personal. Our driver Lorinas was very knowledgeable, humorous, and customer centric. He made our journey very enjoyable.

"Interesting experience"

All participants in this travel was good, and trip was interesting and new expirience for me.

"A most memorable travel"

The driver/guides. (Laura and Beatrice) were excellent, courteous, informative, entertaining and charming. The buses were comfortable the food was fine, the pace relaxed, no time pressure. Traveller input and preferences were considered, . It was a wonderful trip. I would definitely recommend it to others. Thank you.

"A transfer with full of feelings and experiences!"

An excellent way to learn and feel new when travelling from Riga to Vilnius. Our multitasking guide was excellent to share really interesting topics around the route. I did not know that so excellent guides as Beatrice even exists. She was even able to sing to us!! Thank you so much!

"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.

"What a wonderful tour!"

The tour guide was so nice and had very detailed explanations on the spots and the history. I really enjoyed and learnt a lot from this tour!

"Perfect way to see the country and its history"

With Karolis as our guide we set off on time and made the short journey to our first stop. By this time we were all chatting about our different experiences in the Baltics and looking forward to discovering more. The stops do vary but we visited the prison camp, mountain of crosses, a palace of the lover of one of the Romanov daughters and finally the old town of Kaunas. Our fellow travellers parted in great spirit and whilst a little weary from the journey far more aware of both Latvia and Lithuania. Great trip, very charming and knowledgeable guide and would recommend the experience to young and old alike.

"The best way to travel from Riga to Tallin"

We really enjoyed the tour. Andres was a perfect guide, professional, prepared, brilliant, and attentive. The atmosphere was cosy, the group was very pleasent, and we spent a memorable day!

"First time in Baltic countries"

It was nice. Guide was knowledgeable and explained many things. Due to rain and road closing etc we couldn’t see a few place. Overall it was good trip

"A great way to travel!"

Just took the tour from Riga to Vilnius. Our guide, Mike, was really friendly and personable, and made the trip for us. He kept up entertaining conversation as the picturesque fields rolled past and we chewed our Latvian “cow candy”. He also told his family’s personal stories as a means of highlighting the living history of this region. Also in our group was a family who had just taken part in the singing festival in Estonia, and Mike sang with them. A great host for a great trip. The trip itself was a set of places I would otherwise have no means of getting to, and that I may not have even known existed. I would highly recommend this tour and this trip!!

"Funny guide! Nice stops! Good music! "

We had a fun day with mikelis 🎉

"Great tour, great guide"

We very much enjoyed this tour. It was well organised and the variety of stops was well chosen and gave a fascinating flavour of the history and culture of Latvia and Lithuania. Kamile made the difference though. Her knowledge and enthusiasm shone through and her English was excellent and very understandable.

"Great trip"

Wonderful journey. Rūta the guide was wonderful. Provided all the help you could wish, with a great personality. The stops were diverse and interesting and lunch was very nice. I would recommend this as an opportunity to see a little of the countryside on the way to Vilnius.

"Perfect pace, amazing guide "

We found this tour a much better pace than the other. There was just the right amount of time in each place, with no long waits. Our guide Elina came with us on each stop and took us around sharing stories and information. The lunch stop was also fantastic value. Highly recommend.

"Full day of usual day trip fun!"

Our trip from Riga to Vilnius was amazing, in main part to our wonderful guide Lau. He had a bus full of ladies and made our day comfortable, easy and enjoyable. He was a master at the walk and talk and gave us plenty of time to see the sights, great background knowledge about each place and personalized drop off to each of our hotels. He also gave us each some Lithuanian chocolate and candies as a sweet gift! We really loved traveling with him and the sights we were able to see along the way which would have taken up much more time as day trips from Riga or Vilnius. Definitely the best and most entertaining way to get from city to city, meet other travelers and get a local guide!

"Private tour at group rate"

We were lucky enough to have the tour operated for just the 2 of us so maximum flexibility. Our guide ‘Lorenzo’ was great, knowledgeable and happy to meet our schedule.

"Best way to get from Riga to Vilnius"

If your time in Latvia and Lithuania is limited, this is a great way to see some of the highlights in the country side without the need for extra day trips from Riga or Vilnius. You're likely taking the bus between these two cities anyways, so I highly recommend this scenic route. Anna was a great guide and driver--she was knowledgeable about the sights and gave us plenty of time to explore most of them.

"Fun trip to Riga!"

This was a lovely day in large part because of our very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. She was friendly, professional at all times and very attentive to the needs of everyone in our group. In fact the group gelled very well which made the trip that much more enjoyable: thank you!

"Crossed the border with Anna. "

A great day. This is a ‘no brainer’ option tour for getting from Riga to Tallinn (or the opposite). It was comfortable, interesting and we saw sights that are more than the run of the mill tourist spots. Even the lunch stop was amazing. We arrived in Tallinn with plenty of time for dinner. Getting the inside on Latvia and Estonia from a young, respectful, interesting and capable tour guide gave us a real perspective on these countries that have endured a tough history. Thanks to Anna and our new friends for the day for a memorable day.

"Kamile was the best! "

We had a great fun group of 8. Kamile was an excellent kind smart guide. Long day but went by very fast. Only negative: van was NOT Comfortable. Whoever sits in front middle seat has absolutely no legroom. Need to upgrade the vans you use especially for a full group.

"Is a good way to get reelevant places"

The concept is a great idea, yu travel from city to another and in the middles you visit reelevant touristic and historical sites. The tour guide is very knowledgeable, but as she is driving too. I think what is missing is to explain more of Riga and Vilinios cities when you leave and when you arrive. because when we arrive to ilnius there was no expanation about the city at all, at leas some ideas of where to go and what to visit would be helpful.

"4 Continents in a van together with Karolis"

We had a wonderful, relaxed yet informative journey from Vilnius to Riga. 5 guests from Asia, Australia, North America plus our driver and guide Karolis from Lithuania (Europe). Karolis kept us informed with in-depth discussions and historical background on each stop, while keeping us on time. And he allowed enough free time to explore at each stop as well, which I greatly appreciated.

"A lovely day"

Fun guide and anxious to please

"great Trip"

Great way to travel this distance. Stop off points we’ll chosen and what a fabulous day thanks to our enthusiastic guide Beatrice

"great Trip"

Great way to travel this distance. Stop off points we’ll chosen and what a fabulous day thanks to our enthusiastic guide Beatrice

"Quick but lots of sites!"

We had a great time with our tour host, Lau. He was super upbeat, had some great playlists the he played during the drive (after lunch when we were all sleepy it was calming piano and ambient music), and he was really kind. He shared some great facts about each site but also insight into Lithuanian culture. We had a great time-- thanks for a lovely trip!

"Touring the baltics!"

Great way to see a bit of the country outside the main cities of Riga and Vilnius. The Hill of Crosses was pretty cool and the large statues of the liberation of Salaspils in Latvia was educational. A great way to spend a day to those looking for a journey between these two countries and not just a destination.

"Rain day, wonderful and short day."

Good experience, but may be would better if we had been 30 minutes more in kaunas. We arrived to Vilnius al 8:17 and the visit was from 9AM to 9 PM. It was a shame the rain in the hill of crosses

"Informative Tour"

Great way to get from Riga to Vilnius. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great however still interesting sites. would have liked for the inside of Rundale castle to have been include in price. That with the price of lunch made the whole tour expensive for a family. The lunch however was a highlight, delicious and the best meal we had on our visit! Although we stopped at Kaunas it was late in the day and most museums, etc. were closed. Perhaps another site could be added instead of Kaunas. Kamile, our guide was affable and friendly and helpful. Although a bit expensive we would still recommend this tour as a great way of transferring between Riga and Vilnius.

"Informative trip and a safe drive"

Recommend to anyone travel from Riga to Vilnius.

"Great way to squeeze in a few more sights"

This was a great way to see some sights that are farther away from Vilnius and Riga. The van was spacious and comfortable, the group was intimate, and Rūta was a wonderful tour guide. She knew tons of history, and it was fascinating to hear her thoughts on the contemporary political situation in Lithuania. She was well informed and thoughtful. I do wish we had eaten lunch in Kaunas instead of near the Hill of Crosses. We didn't have as much time in Kaunus as I would have liked, and the restaurant near the Hill of Crosses was mediocre. Other than that, I felt the tour was well planned and paced. There was plenty of time at the Hill of Crosses and Salaspils, and though I could have spent a long time both in Kaunas and at Rūndale Palace (interesting gardens!), we would have been exhausted had the tour been longer than 12 hours.

"Wonderful tour"

It is the best way moving to Vilnius to Riga. Firstly I planed to go to the hill of crosses by myself. But I noticed it takes time and I need to carry heavy luggage’s... This tour takes me some places I want to go, Kaunas , the hill of crosses and Rundāle pils. It is very nice experience in Lithuania. And our guide,Mr. Laurynas, is the best guide!!! He knows about the places very well and teach us kindly, sometimes with jokes:) I highly recommend this tour!

"Great way to see the Baltics"

This was a great way to see interesting places in both Latvia and Lithuania, especially for a person like me who doesn't have a driver's licence so I can't rent a car. Our guide spoke very good english and told us a lot about the history of the sights we visited and he also gave us time to explore these places on our own.

"See More Than Just Riga and Talliinn"

We very much enjoyed our trip from Riga to Tallinn, Elina, our tour guide, gave us detailed information about each place we visited. We never would have been able to see all of these places had we not taken the tour. We loved hearing about the history of Estonia and walking through the medieval towns of Viljandi and Cēsis. We also enjoyed learning about the bobsled course in Latvia. Elina was fantastic. She was knowledgeable and also very funny,

"Great fun"

It was a great way to travel from Riga to Vilnius and Lau really took care of us.

"Great tour"

It was a great tour. The only criticism is that I wish we had less time at the Hill of Crosses and more time in Kaunus.

"Superb transfer tour!"

This was a really excellent way to transfer between Riga and Vilnius and to see a number of interesting sights along the way. Anna was a fantastic guide - she was flexible and very aware of people's needs, whilst ensuring that the tour proceeded efficiently. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging and provided just the right amount of commentary. It was good to have sufficient time to visit the palace rooms at Rundale - another 15/20 minutes here would have been great, though there was a lot of other things to fit in. The lunch venue was very well chosen. The Hill of Crosses was spectacular.

"Cool tour"

A brilliant day going to places that you would otherwise never have time for. Though long the trip is broken down into small journeys with stops so you don’t realise how the day is going. Very good value.

"Great Day In the Sun !!"

Great day out on the Riga-Vilnius Tour , good way to see the sights in a day. Anna was super as leader for the day had answers to all the questions and provided lots of info about each site. Lunch was very nice as well .

"Fantastic From the Start"

We had an excellent tour from Vilnius to Riga. Our fellow passengers were great. We had so much fun together, Also, Laurynas, our tour guide, was superb. He has a wicked sense of humor and great taste in music. In addition, he is very thoughtful and sensitive. A bee was stuck in the van at one point, Laurynas saved him, named him Charlie and proceeded to make multiple puns about Charlie. As my husband said, he made the difference between a good and a great trip.

"Good times on the bus "

A very cool trip with a lovely, knowledgeable tour guide. Kept us moving, laughing and gave us excellently delivered background on the sites we crossed. Recommended.

"Great Trip!"

The trip by minivan from Vilnius to Riga was comfortable, scenic, interesting and fun. Our guide Laurynas has a deep understanding of the history and culture of the two countries and is excellent at communicating this in an informative and interesting manner. I was also able to meet very interesting travel companions. All in all, a great trip.

"Nice way to arrive in Tallinn"

Besides the long distance, our tour was great Very nice restaurant our guide has chosen.

"Very good Guide"

The tour was very nice, but our guide Lao was remarkable, outstanding. Made the whole difference

"A fun day with a glimpse to the past"

This is the BEST option to travel between two Baltic capitals and visit important sightseeing spots which are difficult to reach by public transport. Our guide Beatričė has not only taken us to the sightseeing spots, but further back to the history and the heart of the two nations (with her lovely singing as well). I would highly recommend this tour to fellow travellers, and will definitely participate the Tallinn-Riga one in my next visit. Just a quick word of suggestion: it would be great to have a sign of some sort (e.g. Vilnius to Riga) displayed for the meet up - although it was obvious in Vilnius as there was no other vans around, it may be a bit difficult for busier locations.

"Great tour!"

Lovely to see the attractions and the countryside. Beatrice was an outstanding Guide/Driver. She is passionate about her work, knowledgeable, great sense of humour and considerate towards her clients. We had a terrific day and enjoyed the company of the other clients.

"Perfect Tour"

Anna is a great guide plus good driver. We had enough time to visit all the stops. it was good that the visit to Trakai Castle was not part of the tour, else there would have been less time. I recommend this tour 100%. Now i wish we had planned an extra day for the Tallinn to Riga tour as well.

"Great tour to KUldiga "

Full day with great sites and flexibility. Stops along way worthwhile and not rushed. Will recommend.

"Baltic blitzkrieg "

Great way to travel and see country. I think a stop a a Jewish concentration camp rather than the Salaspils would be better

"Great tour! "

We took the trip from Riga to Vilnius and had a wonderful time. Laurynas was wonderful and made the trip so interesting and fun. It was a great way to travel between cities and see some of the sights we wanted to see along the way. Laurynas’ knowledge, sense of humor and obvious pride of his country is an asset to Traveller Tours.

"Great journey from Riga to Vilnius"

Perfect balance between the time spent in the van and the visits. A prefect way to discover cities and sightseeing’s between the two capitals. Our guide was super nice and knowledgeable about the history of the Baltic countries. She responded to all our questions.

"Best way to travel from Riga to Tallinn"

This is the best and easier way to visit all the interesting sites between Riga and Tallinn. You can find the full schedules in their website. The most interesting parts were hiking at the Gauja National Park, walking around the small castle town Viljandi, and the best was lunch at the Valmiermuiza brewery, they have the best beer in Latvia and the food was great! We can not possibly have such a wonderful trip without our guide, Mikelis! He was helpful and knowledgable, told us fun stories and even sang for us!

"Wonderful excursion "

Very heartfelt and exciting guide was very interesting

"Fantastic day trip from Riga to Tallinn "

It was my first time joining a small bus tour in this part of Europe. it turned out to be a perfect choice. We need to go to Tallinn from Riga, it provided us with transport combined with tour along the way. I loved the places along the way, a nice lunch, National Park walk and even had time to pick some berries and mushrooms. Katrin our guide had done a fantastic job, couldn't be better. She even had a perfect cup if coffee with her in the small cafe in Medieval old town Cesis in order to escape the rain. Katrin is a very knowledgeable tour guide, I hope to join some other tours by her and Traveller next time.

"Best tour For traveling in Baltic "

Lou is the best tour guide I have ever met! He is very considerate and help us a lot, give us a lot of useful information, both historical and for eating and entertainment! Also,he would have u some sweet. I would recommend every friends to visit Baltic and participate in this tour!

"-"

Overall interesting and informative but in an attempt (I guess) to make tour members relate to the horrors of children being separated from their parents at work camps, our guide very suddenly shouted “MAMA!!!” during his explanation. All of our group members were visibly startled/confused, as were other visitors at the memorial. This was completely inappropriate and should be stopped immediately.

"Wonderful roadtrip "

It was a very pleasant day with a funny guide giving exactly the right amount of explanations and free time!

"Great tour from Riga to Vilnius"

Laurynas was the perfect guide and driver. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The stops were the right length. Our lunch stop served traditional Lithuanian food. It was great. Would highly recommend this tour.

"The best way to get from Vilnius to Riga - saw a lot!"

This was a great way to get between the two cities and see some sites which would be very diffcult to get to otherwise. I feel like the tour could have started at 8am to given more time in Kaunas and to arrive at lunch earlier (our trip didnt have lunch until after 3pm due to normal lunch stop having a private function but it would have been 2pm anyway) Also, I think arriving at Rundale palace with enough time before the inside closed would give people the option to pay extra to tour inside and not just see the gardens (which were lovely). Not as much time needed at hill of crosses (stop, a few pics and away you go) or the Salaspils. Our guide was fun and very accomodating. Thanks Ruta!

"A good tour, great company "

This was a really good way to get to your next destination so rather than a sweaty bus try this instead and see some of the other things Lithuania and Latvia have to offer.

"A great tour for all ages"

We were looking for transport between Riga and Vilnius, as we had been using trains throughout but none are available during the week, and we didn’t want to sit on a coach for over 4 hours. An internet search produced this tour, but we were initially a little dubious about its suitability for older people, as the pick-up point was outside a hostel and the promotion video features only energetic young people! However, from the moment Beatrice and her colleagues arrived in their shiny vans with their friendly greeting, we knew the day would be good! The 4 of us 70-year-olds from the UK were accompanied by 2 young ladies from Singapore, and we had a great time together, with Beatrice providing an excellent balance of information, personal anecdotes and humour, as well as being a very good driver. Lunch was good (especially as we ordered ahead, so didn’t have to wait long for it), and the palace, hill of crosses and Kaunas were all most interesting and enjoyable. We arrived in Vilnius after an excellent, full day. Full marks to Beatrice, our guide, a journalism student with a wide knowledge and excellent English, always prepared to learn more! We can highly recommend this way of travelling between Riga and Vilnius (or vice versa).

"The best way to link the Baltic capital cities"

We had a great time from Riga to Tallinn, discovering many places we would not have seen if we chose another way to go. Our guide, Anna, was so nice and useful with her explanations. We felt surrounded by warm hearted people and had a great day, which did not even feel like a traveling day. Thank you so much !

"Make the BEST of Your Day to Tallin"

Best choice to travel to travel Riga - Tallin. You travel with a group and within the travel time you can make good travel friends, you see places you would not even thought of visiting. The journey is broken up with stops at various stops. The driver/Gulde Michael - what can i say about him. He was AMAZING ...he drove safely, spoke with passion and his singing was amazingggggggggggg. Great tour

"Fun Tour"

This tour is certainly a great way to see more of Latvia and Lithuania if you don’t have a lot of time in the countries! Our guide, Beatrice, was super fun and friendly.

"Well-paced interesting way to go from Riga to Vilnius"

I was pleased that I booked 2 of the day tours with this company, both Riga-Tallinn and Riga-Vilnius. The Riga-Vilnius tour stoped at four sites. The first was the peaceful yet moving memorial to victims of labour camps. Next was the Rundāle Palace. After that the Hill of Crosses. And lastly Kaunas, former capital of Lithuania. Our guide explained the history clearly and with enthusiasm and was very knowledgeable about the region. She was also an excellent driver. The small size of the group was good as I guess we were therefore easy to manage - no poor timekeeping! The highlight for me was probably Rundāle. The gardens were glorious, the palace delightful. The low point if any was lunch as the restaurant was crowded with other tours and struggled to cope; and the food was not great ( compared with others I went to in the region. In general I would heartily recommend these one-way day tours.

"Fun and interesting trip between two great cities"

We had a great day on this tour, and saw new sides to Latvia and Estonia's history and culture during it. Our guide was excellent and packed a huge amount into the day: we were able to spend good periods of time at each of the destinations listed. The lunch spot was delicious, and we arrived into Tallinn well on time. Overall, a very enjoyable experience!

"National park -- a soul of a nation"

The day in Gauja national park made me reconsider the term national park -- besides the nature it has everything that belongs to the soul of a nation: the cultural landscapes, the history. For me, the true highlights of the day were the Ungurmuiža manor, a tiny little wooden manor in all its dignity, and the ferry ride. The latter looks more like a piece of road coming towards you and taking yourself and your van to the other shore, using only the power of the river, no electricity. A steampunk experience! I love Riga, but I'm happy I spent a day in the countryside.

"Fabulous driver and tour guide."

The young student who did all the driving, Beatrice, was delightful. So friendly and informed. Our whole small tour group was fun to be with too. Loved the Hill of Crosses. Thank you so much to everyone.

"Very Worth It!"

Mike was a fun tour guide and had a ton of knowledge about the history of the Baltics. He told a lot of jokes and even sang multiple times in Latvian for us. I was surprised at how quickly the 9 hour day went. All the stops were really interesting, with a good mix of city and nature. This tour was a good chance for us to visit places that we wouldn't have had a chance to otherwise and we had a great time getting to know our fellow travellers. I would highly recommend this sightseeing tour, especially with Mike as your guide!

"A lot of variety and interesting information."

Our guide, Anna, was very enthusiastic, helpful and well-informed. We enjoyed listening to her. Thank you Anna! All in all a great trip!

"Super moyen d'aller de Riga à Tallinn"

Voilà un moyen bien sympathique d'aller de Riga à Tallinn. Groupe de 8 personnes accompagnées d'un chauffeur et d'une guide, dans un véhicule confortable, avec 4 arrêts en cours de routes : Cesis (château ), parc de la Gauja, visite d'un petit musée de la guerre à la frontière et ville de Vildjani ( Château en ruine ). Un moyen aussi d'en savoir plus sur l'histoire des pays baltes et sur les habitants. 65 euros. 12 heures de trajet Cela dit, les stops sont moins intéressants que ceux du trajet Vilnius - Riga

"Unique way to get a flavor of out of the city life"

Polite and very sociable guide and good dancer too

"Great guide and tour. Issue with pick up point"

Karolis was great. Very knowledgeable and a really good bloke. Really enjoyed the day. All the stops were decent though Hill of Crosses the highlight. Only issue was trying to get the pick up point details which included 2-3 phone calls the day before. 2 or 3 out of 5 for the admin. 5 for the guide and tour.

"interesting alternative to travel "

Meeting open minded people from all over the world and being entertained by an knowledged guy. Learned about the history and fairies. Probably the best way to travel from Latvia to Estonia. We highly recommend.

"Excellent tour "
