Itinerary
Fairy tale towns, rolling countryside and layered cultures
Discover the captivating beauty of the Baltics on a 10-day journey that takes in the region’s charming cities, hearty cuisine and lesser-known treasures.

Whether you’re chatting with cider makers, walking in a national park or wandering down cobblestone lanes, there is much to enjoy and plenty of surprises along the way traversing three countries whose national sport is mushroom picking. If you enjoy lesser known destinations, long summer nights and want to do more than just see the sights, this immersive trip is calling your name.

Exceptional trip to a relatively unknown region of the world. I fell in love with the Baltics on this tour: the quiet passion for the land and history, the sophistication and beauty of the cities, the rich and remarkable history, and the serene calm and grace of the countryside. If you’re at all curious about this area, take this tour!

The Forgotten Baltics - if you are traveling Europe, then Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are ‘must sees’……….rarely promoted, the countries, their people and cultures, and foods are truly amazing and must be added to your travel itineraries - highly recommend!!

This tour delivered. I learned so much about the Baltic states history and current political climes. I also enjoyed all the sites from medieval Old Town Tallin to Witches' Hill on the Curonian Spit in Lithuania. Well worth visiting

The Balic States have all of the scenic beauty, ancient history, and friendly people without the crowds and the extreme heat of other European destinations in July. I would highly recommend it.

Another great trip! Eero was a terrific guide, telling us about growing up in the Soviet era. Hotels were well located but not great. Included meals very good. I would have liked more time in Tallinn and Riga

This trip greatly exceeded my expectations - the itinerary covered a wide variety of interesting and beautiful sites; our guide had great enthusiasm and genuinely wanted to share with us all she loved about her home country and its neighbors. The hotels were charming and the food delicious. I would go again without hesitation.

Get to the Baltics before the rest of the world figures out how amazing these countries are! This tour is full of beautiful architecture and fascinating history. Elina was an amazing guide that added her personal touch to a well developed tour.
