This was my first Intrepid tour and I plan to see what else intrepid offers for my future holidays. Value for money was good and the itinerary was appropriate for the time spent at each destination.

Such a great way to experience the food, art, music, history, and culture of these cool little countries! Every new location was a great surprise, and we learned so much along the way. All of the cities and sights here are underrated gems in Europe that I'm recommending to all my friends.

A relatively short trip providing valuable insights to the Baltic State's history, culture and architecture of the capitals with a very knowledgeable tour guide and specialist guides at several destinations. It combines significant travel through the country area, a visit to an historic country town and a night in a rural retreat. The tour provides a great overview and an excellent foundation for future travel and in-depth exploration by those that way inclined.

Fantastic tour with amazing locations packed with sights and history both recent and older. Relaxed pace but with plenty of flexibility and options to do extra if you want, and the tour leader Merina was great. All the cities have many attractions and powerful history, but are easy to get around - no problems using buses, trains or trams (Tallinn). I'd suggest add extra days at the start or finish if possible.
