"Seething tour from Riga to Tallin"

Very well organized ,probably castels ,cities that normally you don’t visit ,with space for amusement,time spent good enough and balanced ,guide very professional able to create a good atmosphere

"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

"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 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。

"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.

"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.

"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!

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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 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

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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

"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.

"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.

" "

"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

"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!

"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!

"What a beautiful day!"

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

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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!

"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.

"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.

"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

"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.

"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!

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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!

"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

"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.

"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.

"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

"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.

"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.

"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 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.

"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!

"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.

"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

"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

"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

"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.

"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 😊

"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!

"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!!

"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.

"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.

"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!

"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.

"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.

"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!

""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!

"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...

"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

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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!

"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.

"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

"Worth doing!"

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

"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.

"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

"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"

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?

"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.

"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!

"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

"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

"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 travel!"

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

"Wonderful trip and wonderful guild."

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

"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

"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.

"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 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!

"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

"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!

"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.

"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

"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.

"."

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.

"Great tour"

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

"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.

"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!

"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.

"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!

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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!

"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.

"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.

"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 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!

"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!

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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 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 .

"Nice way to arrive in Tallinn"

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

"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.

"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!

"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.

"-"

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.

"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!

"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

"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.

"What a day!"

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

"Value for money tour!"

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

"A great way to explore the countryside!"

A lovely day. I really wanted to get outside capitol cities into villages, and this tour allows this opportunity. Our guide Kert was very knowledgeable and just a very warm, great guy. Conversation flowed frfelt. The other guests were interesting because they had Estonian heritage and added their own personal stories when we visited sites. I would highly suggest this tour to my friends!

"Great Tour for everybody!"

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

"Great tour, excellent guide!"

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

"Tour leader and small groups WINNER"

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

"Riga to Tallinn and a whole lot more in between"

Taking this tour was the best way for me to get from Riga to Tallinn. Besides actually getting to my destination I was able to stop at so many more places that I would not have seen otherwise. The short stop at the bobsleigh track was fun and interesting and the visit to the town of Cēsis was a great opportunity to walk around a bit in this charming town. The visit to the Gauja National Park was a major highlight - we had a good walk and were able to appreciate Latvia's natural beauty. After lunch in Valga our last stop was in picturesque Viljandi where we had the opportunity to try out the very Estonian sport of kiiking (team swinging on a giant wooden swing) - exhilarating to say the least! We were in the very capable hands of Gregor, our guide/driver for the day - nothing was too much trouble for him and he was willing to answer questions at any stage and not just stick to a planned script. Gregor certainly went a long way to making it an unforgettable day - a huge thank you to him and to Traveller Tours.

"Sorry we did not make it"

The idea appeared to us to be brilliant as we will using the time to visit number of places between Riga & Vilnius, sadly my wife suffered from pain in her leg, we abortive the journey and we were promised a refund

"Brilliant road trip to Tallinn"

We took the road trip from Riga to Tallinn and enjoyed every minute of it with Liine providing a brilliant tour. Couldn’t recommend the trip highly enough. Liine was a great lead, both with her knowledge and her humour. Would definitely recommend to do the trip to anyone young or old !!

"Un viaggio indimenticabile"

Ruta la nostra guida, una ragazza solare prepara ed attenta a tutte le tue esigenze. Un tour che consiglio vivamente di fare specialmente se è anche un trasferimento da una città all'altra.

"Amazing trip and fun tour guide!"

We had an amazing time discovering Latvian and Estonian culture, history, and nature. Anna was delightful and I really enjoyed learning from her. Strongly recommended!

"Fantastic trip from Riga to Tallin!"

The tour was challenging for our guide as the public holiday meant roads were closed and usual restaurants and some sites weren’t open. He was great at improvising and finding other venues and events that made the most of the holiday activities. It was wonderful to have access to such knowledge of the history and culture, all relayed with a sense of fun. This is my second trip of this type and I highly recommend it

"Another grand trip!"

This is the perfect way to travel from one capital to another. Just as our trip from Vilnius-to Riga was delightful, the trip from Riga to Tallinn was just as enjoyable and informative. Once again, our guide Mike could not have been more enthusiastic, personable, entertaining, and knowledgeable. He has a special gift. The day was long but never boring and, because of the variety of stops along the way, including a memorable walk through the state park forest and buying exquisite strawberries from a farm, it flew by pleasurably. We are world travelers, but this was a winner!

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

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

"Balkan Bus Trip"

A very interesting way to travel between two countries, taking in the scenery and attractions along the way. Our driver/guide was very knowledgable, friendly and spoke English perfectly.

"Great"

Tour was informative and as advertised. Would have like to skip Kaunas and instead go to Trakai castle though, as the itinerary included Trakai when I purchased my ticket

"Great way to get from Riga to Tallinn (or vica versa) "

We were staying in Riga but wanted to visit Tallinn for a few days and also see a bit more of Latvia apart from just Riga. This tour was perfect for that. It was well paced with a good balance of travel and visits. The stops were all very interesting and enjoyable. Our guide Anna was fantastic, funny engaging,knowledgeable and clearly passionate about both Latvia and Estonia, their history and their future. There is clearly also a great friendly rivelry between the two countries which was a lot of fun and a recurring theme (also came up on tours we did in Estonia). Highly recommended.

"Laura is the BEST"

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

"Riga to Tallinn - the fun way"

Chosen instead of a boring flight with time wasted at airports, this was a way to see the countryside and something of the smaller towns on the way. Our guide had a wealth of information at her fingertips and gave insights into modern life in Latvia and Estonia and history of the Baltic States. This added hugely to our short stay in the two countries. I must also say that the vehicle used was ideal for the journey and that our guide's driving was impeccable.

"Fun surprise!"

Travelling with a small group between Riga and Tallinn is a great choice. There are worthy stops along the way including Viljandi Castle, a huge Swing that needs to be experienced and a beautiful nature walk.

"Enjoyable Tour"

A very well arranged tour with well chosen stopping points. 12 hours whizzed by! Punctual start with Ruta, a delightful young lady. Nothing was too much, the explanations were very clear and she shared a lot of details and held our interest throughout the tour. She was very patient and an excellent guide.Very comfortable bus.

"The Best if the Baltics"

It was an easy way to travel from Riga to Vilnius. We saw the amazing countryside outside of the big cities...beautiful. The holocaust memorial is so impactful, so well done. I found the hill of the crosses to be less so. The castle was worth the visit but the hour spent in Kaunas could have been by passed...we found a bar and a bottle of wine. Kamile outstanding and her recommendation for dinner proved exceptional.

"Great Tour – Try to go inside Rundale Palace if you have time!"

I'd booked this tour when it still included a stop at Trakai, and was a little disappointed when they changed the itinerary slightly to remove Trakai. However, after going on the tour, I think that was a great decision. The tour made 4 stops: Salaspils Memorial, Rundale Palace, Hill of Crosses, and Kaunas. We had a good amount of time at each place, although I wish we'd had 15 minutes less at Hill of Crosses and 15 minutes more at Rundale Palace. With the time given at Rundale Palace, you can either tour the garden (which is included in the price of the tour), or you can buy your own ticket to tour the inside of the palace. I managed to cram in both, but it was very, very rushed, and the inside of the palace ended up being the highlight of the day for me. I think if the tour cost an extra 10EUR and included the ticket to tour the inside of the palace for an extra 15-20 minutes, with less time at Hill of Crosses, it would have been perfect. We had about 35 minutes I think at Hill of Crosses, and it was a little too much since it starts to look all the same after a while.

"Fantastic trip, amazing guide"

We have a nice trip from Riga to Tallinn with Elina. She is a wonderful, warm, friendly person and an amazing and very informative guide. She made us a great day. Thanks, Eli, for everything!

"Best way to get to Vilnius from Riga! "

First off this was our second trip with Anna. She is spectacular! Very mature and friendly. She handles every detail wonderfully and is a good driver! My favorite stop was the Hill of Crosses. The memorial in Latvia Salaspils was also really worthwhile - it’s one of the most haunting places I’ve ever been but important given that I brought my teen son with me in part to learn history of the region and we both appreciated all the stops and Anna’s knowledgable guidance at each location.

"Over the river and through the woods with Kamile"

Well done excursion. Comfortable vehicle, knowledgeable guide and well thought out itinerary.

"Super travel with Anna to Vilnius"

Anna was very kind, she is a super guide. The travel from Riga to Vilnius was interesting and nice.

"Great fun"

We learned a lot about the local sights, customs and culture in just one day. Our guide was very passionate about sharing her personal experiences as well which made all the stories even more interesting. Because were an international group, it was also fun to exchange our travel tips and tricks amongst each other. The long say is quite intense, but each stop was definitely worth it. My personal favorite: the beautiful national park.

"Fun Filled 12 hours with Mike"

We travel from Riga to Tallinn with Mike as our private driver- guide. We enjoy the activities and find them most suitable means to know the countries. Mike is very knowledgeable and communicate well in English. We are 4 seniors of age over 65 while Mike is just over 20. There is no communication gap. He is also entertaining. Thank you Mike

"Simply the BEST "

We had an awesome time on our Riga-Vilnius trip! Our guide was exceptional; he was extremely knowledgeable about the sites we visited and did everything he could to make sure we were comfortable. (It was 37 degrees, so that was no small feat!) He answered all of our questions with skill and humor, and taught us about Latvian and Lithuanian cultures. We took his advice about restaurants in Vilnius and have been amazed by our experiences. I hope to come back to the Baltic someday and take some more tours with your company. Our experience was fantastic and the travel was seamless. The cost was very reasonable, especially for the value we received. Could not ask for anything more!

"Riga to Vilnius while sightseeing-awesome idea!"

Really interesting tours. I was happy to have the opportunity to visit both countries and to make the most of my short travel time in the baltic states.

"Friendly guide and interesting tour"

I recommend this tour without a doubt

"Lovely guides"

The young guides were lovely. I felt the tour would have benefitted by being several hours shorter. An alternative shorter route along the coast would appeal to many I am sure. It is really good value.

"Great way to get to Vilnius "

I really enjoyed this tour to Vilnius from Riga. It stopped at a variety of interesting sights along the way and our guide had lots to tell us about each of them. The time we spent at each was just right and we reached Vilnius in good time where we were each dropped at our individual accommodation.

"All beautiful and amazing"

I came holiday to Riga in April for 10 days and i decided to took 2 private excursions which were on Tuesday 21 st Jurmala & Hidden Wonders and Yesterday Saturday 25th Kuldiga & Latvian Countryside.Tour Leader of both Tours was Ance which wad kind ,helpful and explaining regarding the places all the time during the tours.The places were all beautiful and amazing !

"Itinerary Not Very Interesting"

We are not interested in a bobsled run; Cesis did not have much to offer; the military museum turned out to be a private collection of discarded Soviet military items. The Gauja Nat’l Park was worthwhile seeing and the Viljandi site offered historical as well as cultural context. Unless the itinerary is improved we would not recommend. Our guide Elena was very good: a responsible driver, well informed, communicated well, approachable. This interaction with a native was valuable.

"best way to see Latvia and Estonia!"

Great tour from Riga to Tallinn! We enjoyed seeing some out-of-the-way sites that we would never have made it to on our own, while traveling to our next overnight destination. Krislin was an engaging and informative guide, who shared a lot of Estonian cultural tidbits with us.

"Superb Tour"

I am so glad we chose this tour as our transfer from Riga to Vilnius. We visited places that we wouldn't have done otherwise on our own. The guides were fantastic. Loved Kaunas, wish we had 2 hours there instead of one, but do understand it is a transfer tour and is limited to time.

"Beautiful Baltics!"

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour from Riga to Vilnius. It was a great way to see the Latvian and Lithuanian countryside while learning more about the history of the two countries. The personal stories shared by our guides about their families’ own experiences really added to the meaningfulness of the day. I’d recommend this tour for anyone needing to travel between Riga and Vilnius who wants to get a better understanding of the history and culture of the Baltics.

"Trip to Jurmala."

The trip to Jumala with our guide Mikelis was very interesting. Mike gave many information about Jurmala and about all country. He took us to wonderfull restaurant whre the meals were delicious. Thank You very much.

"Friendly tour group "

The experience was one of a kind. Met different people from other countries. Nice tour with a friendly guides/driver. I forget my guide name. But his the one looking like hipster with a Australia cowboy hat and he has a special musical instruments.

"Real Estonia and Latvia"

My wife Vicky and I really enjoyed our trip from Riga to Tallinn with Traveller Tours. Our guides for the day Katrin and Grigor were very engaging and gave us a great insight into Estonian and Latvian culture both present and past. Our fellow travelers were and pleasure as well.

"A long but very interesting tour"

During this sightseeing tour we saw beautiful places in both Latvia and Lithuania. I would highly recommend it. The driver and guide Beatrice did a great job.

"Fun experience"

Visited nice places enroute to Tallinn. The huge swing was particularly fun!

"On the road"

Andres was a fabulous and knowledgeable guide. The stops were timed well and at great locations. We definitely recommend this tour.

"Good tour"

Good tour with excellent guides. Have dropped a star because when I booked the tour Trakai was included but you have dropped it without giving prior information.

"Another great ride!"

This was my second trip with this company. This was as pleasurable and educational as the one before from Tallinn to Riga. All the stops were well organized, the guides are always full of knowledge and humor. They are very engaging and keep everyone excited, even though several were tired from partying last nite. The stopover for food is well planned. The only thing I would mention that the food stopover is at a traditional food joint. Though it may appeal to many, it is not an establishment I would ever go to.

"Awesome tour"

The tour was fantastic, such amazing spots seen along the way that would have otherwise been hard to reach. Really authentic experience with a lovely Lithuanian guide with great knowledge and always willing to go the extra mile to make our day great. Thanks for a great day!

"Highly recommend!"

The tour was excellent. Laurynas was so friendly and accommodating to all of the guests, and made us feel very welcome. He truly wanted everyone to have a great experience. The sites chosen provided a great mix of old and more modern history. I would highly recommend Traveller to those touring the Baltics.

"Riga-Vilnius tour"

It was a wonderful way to see some of the Latvian and Lithuanian country with interesting stops along the way. Our guide, Anna, was lovely and full of knowledge. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

"An excellent way to get from Riga to Vilnius"

The hill of crosses was definitely the highlight of the trip. Our driver/guide, Mikelis, was fun and entertaining and has a great singing voice. This is definitely way better than just getting a bus from one city to another.

"Laura is a professional guide"

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

"Great day trip and very good guide !"

we decided to take this day trip just one day before and we’re lucky they still have last spot. The whole day trip was so enjoyable, despite the rainy weather. I like that the itinerary was not too full so that we have enough time in each sites without being rushed. Anna as the guide was really passionate, cheerful and really insightful. She really ensured that everyone was enjoying the tour. From all of the sites we visited, i really like Kaunas with it’s own charmed . Lunch also was very good , must try the apple pie and chocolate mousse dessert . The Van we used was convenient . Overall is a day well spent, very glad that we took this tour. Special thanks for Anna !!

"Getting from A to B hitting several other letters on the way"

My friends and I decided to make the most of the journey between Riga and Tallinn so signed up for the sightseeing tour. It was a long day, about 12 hours in total, but well worth it. We set off in two mini-vans of a maximum capacity of 8 (we were in a van of six) so it was comfortable. The guides, Anna and Kert, were very nice, knowledgeable and had a funny Latvian-Estonian banter going on. They answer all our questions and provided us with insights into the day to day life in both countries. We visited several places we would not have been able to do had we just taken public transport between both cities, and enjoyed getting to know the countries better, as well as other travellers. Overall we enjoyed the experience and would recommend it.

"Great day!"

We had a great group of travelers, learning so much on the journey from Riga to Vilnius. Beautiful countryside. Beatrice, our guide, was wonderful. She made our experience memorable and enjoyable throughout.

"Another Great Day!"

We did this tour bus two days after taking the sightseeing bus from Tallinn to Riga and had the same knowledgeable and funny guide, Mike. We enjoyed all the stops on this tour and also had a great time trying traditional Lithuanian food for lunch. I particularly enjoyed the Rundāle Palace gardens and the Hill of Crosses, but the Rundāle Palace had so much to see that we could have done it as a day excursion. Overall, we were really happy to have Mike as our guide again, and he kept us entertained during the longer stretches of driving by playing us Latvian songs and pointing out storks/other animals along the road. Both of the sightseeing buses we took were great and I would highly recommend both of them!

"Very interesting and lovely tour guide"

We took this tour as we only had a short amount of time available in both countries and this seemed like an efficient way to do it. The tour included 6 of us and then our tour guide Kamile. The small tour group was great as it meant we had some flexibility in what we did and we got to know some of the others of the tour. We got a good amount of time in each place and the whole tour was set at a very good pace. Kamile was a great tour guide and she had lots of interesting stories to tell us about her family who grew up Lithuania during the Soviet times. She gave us lots of information in each place and I felt like I knew quite a bit about Lithuania by the end of the day! I really recommend this tour for the local experiences and to see these amazing sights.

"Great day out "

I really liked the tour, and the group I was with. As a solo traveler that was a key element. I got to sit up front which IMO is the best seat. Kamile was really knowledgeable, especially about the Occupation. And she was really helpful when i needed someone to take my picture. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is due to the fact that we didn't visit Trakai even though when I purchased the ticket, it was listed as a stop. I didn't receive a notification and only found out when we drove past the exit. Not cool.

"Fantastic trip "

We had a great day with Beatrice. We learnt a lot and enjoyed all the places we visited. Beatrice was super friendly and a great driver. We would recommend.

"Great way to travel!"

Our guide was really warm, bubbly and knowledgeable, oh, and a good driver too! The stops along the way we’re interesting, especially the Hill of Crosses. I Highly recommend this way of traveling from Riga to Vilnius!

"Studiato e preparato bene"

Sereno e libero

"A memorable experience "

An enjoyable and worthwhile excursion without which I would not have gotten to visit and experience some beautiful and interesting parts of both Latvia and Estonia. Having a guide who was both knowledgeable, interested and engaging put this tour far above any other tours I have experienced.

"Effective Tour"

This tour helped me to easily travel from Riga to Vilnus together with travel at the interesting place. However, I think that it is better to give more time at Hill of Cross because it is difficult to travel by own. Guide is very nice. She explained the information in details and gave the suggestion of Vilnus city.

"Great Tour. "

Elina was a great tour guide from Riga to Tallinn. The drive was broken up by some great stops and the pace was amazing. She was very accommodative and she was such a nice person! Loved it and highly reccomend. Turns a travel day into something more.

"A day trip with Anna"

Well, i must say that Anna was a fabulous guide and knew how to communicate with the group, and as a lady she turned out to be an excellent driver, so we all arrived in Vilnius in one piece! . Usually i get nervous with female drivers as i bought my wife a new car 3 years ago and not yet brave enough to let her drive me around (Haha). A pity the Trakia stop was not included but realise that it was probably a good decision as the next day i spent 4 hours wandering around the peninsula. A pity that there is no option to visit the interior of Rundale Palace, but again there probably would not be enough time. The tour gave us a good idea of the four places where we stopped, and i particularly enjoyed the Hill of Crosses, leaving a cross there for my wife. The restaurant stop was in the middle of nowhere, might have been better to have lunch in the town so people had a choice. However i rally enjoyed my choice, shashlik chicken followed by apple pie and ice cream. The price seemed very reasonable for such a nice restaurant. I tried to book the Tallinn- Riga tour but unfortunately there were not enough people who signed up for it, a pity!

"Bloody smashing"

Fantastic host! Great sights. Can not recommend enough. Ps we hope this is the right tour guide ps soz we don’t remember your name but you were brilliant none the less THANKS!

"Spring beauty!"

The countryside in the spring was really beautiful with yellow canola fields, blue skies and storks flying above. I was wowed by the gardens at Rundle Palace. Not something that I expected to see in Latvia. I booked the tour to see the hill of crosses and was not disappointed. Our guide was really warm-hearted and funny. It was more about the experience and less about the detailed history. He was really good at making us all feel at ease and connecting with a bunch of strangers. I would have preferred to arrive in Vilnius a bit sooner and skip out on our last stop as we we all tired and hungry by 9pm with only big lunch in our tummies but no supper. Bring along a granola bar would be my recommendation. Overall, loved it and would recommend it!

"Riga-Vilnius one day tour"

Excellent guide, and wonderful singing!

"Great way to get to Tallin"

Probably one of the best ways to get to Tallinn from Riga.

"Lovely guide, room for itinerary improvement!"

While this concept is amazing and a very fun way to get from point A to point B, and our guide was super knowledgeable and lovely (and as invested in Eurovision as we were haha), the itinerary could use a little bit of work. There is only one stop for food in 12 hours (we luckily brought some snacks, but were still dying by the end of it) and tucking in a long school-like lesson about the Soviet Occupation (and gross food with worms in it) right before lunch might not be the wisest scheduling. I personally also think almost 50 minutes of war is a bit much, as important as it is to know your history, I'd rather have spent some more time exploring the National Park! All in all it was an alright tour though, and like I said our guide was lovely, there's just a lot of room for itinerary improvements!

"Perfect Day"

Well organized!

"Riga to Vilnius"

Excellent tour. The other people booked on the tour cried off so we had a tour for just 2. Very informative with the guide being knowledgable and friendly. Lunch was excellent. I would recommend.

"Great travel "

The tour was fun and very interesting as we discovered a bit more about Latvia and Estonia history. It was great to have a small walk on the Gauja park and very funny to try the Estonian swing. The minibus (8 people maximum) is a perfect size if you are not that much into "tour bus" and allows you to discuss with the other travellers and the guide. The guide was very friendly, informative and full of tips to make the most of Estonia. Liine was a very safe and relaxed driver. Overall a very enjoyable trip.

"Great tour!"

The tour between Riga & Vilnius is 100% worth taking. Great stops along the way, and the best option for getting to Hill of the Crosses. My tour guide was awesome & super knowledgeable not only about the sites we visited but all of the Baltics.

"*MUST DO*"

Laurynas was a great tour guide. Firstly the van was spacious and comfortable. I would not have gone to the sites covered on the tour on my own. Laurynas knew the history and information on every site visited. He also provided treats along the way. Laurynas was kind enough to drop us off at our accomodation which is not part of the tour. He also suggested things to do and a great local cuisine restaurant. I highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky enough to have Laurynas, you will have a great time.

"UNAVOIDABLE"

VERY NICE PERSON , INTERESTING EPLANATIONS AND TRIP

"Wonderful way to travel from Riga to Tallinn"

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

"Laurynas, you went above and beyond!!!"

Everything about the trip was amazing. It's cool to visit so many places in a day. Laurynus, our guide shared with us about the history and also many of his personal experiences, which was really entertaining. It was soo nice of him to take us to Trakai as we had some extra time and even dropped us off at our designated hotels. I couldn't thank you enough for such a memorable journey.

"Travel with Local"

It’s great experience that you’ll travel with a local guide. It’s perfect if you have any question especially history. It will not be just a transportation but a guided tour. Highly recommended!! :D

"Really good day!"

It was a very good day and tour with Mike, lots of fun and sightseeing with him. Thanks!

"Best choice if you want to travel from Riga to Vilnius or the other way around"

We were very satisfied with the overall experience. The sites we have visited where very interesting. The restaurant where we had the lunch break was very nice as well. When booking we were wondering if we would get bored since the journey seems quite long. But not at all. We enjoyed. it a lot. Our guide Bea was very friendly and tells u a lot about History, art, culture, etc. She is a very kind and passionate person. We would definitely recommend this trip.

"Great tour and guide!"

We really enjoyed our tour bus journey from Riga to Vilnius. Our tour guide Laurynas was great, really nice guy with lots of knowledge on the history of the stops of the tour. He kept us all entertained with stories, jokes and his playlist. There were eight of us on the tour, but lots of space for our luggage and leg room throughout. We were given free bottles of water and some Lithuanian snacks, which were great to try! On arriving in Lithuania, we stopped at a restaurant specialising in venison. The prices were reasonable and the portions were very large! The stops on the tour were very interested and we learnt a lot of the history. Alongside the stops featured on the list, we also stopped at Trakai, which was beautiful. Also at the end of the tour, we were dropped off outside our Air BnB. A great finish to a lovely day. Thank you Lau for a really good tour, it was great to meet you! We recommend the tour for anyone looking to travel between Riga and Vilnius.

We were given free bottles of water and some Lithuanian snacks, which were great to try! On arriving in Lithuania, we stopped at a restaurant specialising in venison. The prices were reasonable and the portions were very large! The stops on the tour were very interested and we learnt a lot of the history. Alongside the stops featured on the list, we also stopped at Trakai, which was beautiful. Also at the end of the tour, we were dropped off outside our Air BnB. A great finish to a lovely day. Thank you Lau for a really good tour, it was great to meet you! We recommend the tour for anyone looking to travel between Riga and Vilnius.

"Amazing trip"

It was a long journey trip but better than just taking the bus from Riga to Vilnius. Highly recommended !

"Convenient way of doing sightseeing "

It was an enjoyable trip plus the meal offered by a Tallinn’s hotel through the driver cum guide was definitely worth trying.

"Excellent"

This tour is an excellent way to travel between the two cities and to see places that one would not normally visit. Our guide Kamile was very knowledgeable and informative on all aspects of Latvian and Lithuanian history and culture. Her presentation and good humour added greatly to the trip.

"Everything is great"

Nice trip

"An adventure across the countryside."

I had a wonderful adventure across the countryside with Mikelis and fellow travelers. We were provided to an inside look to the off the beaten path of what the countries had to offer. I would defiantly recommend this program for anyone wanting to get out of just the capital cities of the Baltic States and to see as much as possible as you travel from one country to the next.

"A wonderful trip from Riga to Tallinn"

We travel from Riga to Tallinn. During the travel. Our guide is very helpful and friendly. From him, we know the history and live of Estonian. We learned a lot!

"Great guide! "

Loads of fun and interesting stops :)

"Above and beyond!"

We booked this tour in the off season, early March, on a Wednesday. Even though nobody else booked the tour and normally it would not run, the team worked with us to find a solution so that we could still go, and we're thrilled with the result! Kamile was our personal tour guide for the day, and she was great. She spoke to what specifically interested us, shared her own stories of her life in the area, and recommended delicious Lithuanian snacks! Would 100% do another tour with this company, especially with Kamile!

"Recommended if u want to have an interesting journey between riga - Vilnius "

Great itinerary and local tour guide is able to share lots of history and story of both the countries. It’s more convenient and time efficient to join this tour than making your own arrangements, covering 4 places while travelling fr riga to Vilnius. Also accommodated to special request to drop some of us at the Vilnius railway station. Many thanks for that. Only comment is the confirmation for non peak season came a bit late. Luckily the tour agent called the day before to confirm participation or I would have missed this trip.

"Interesting way of travelling from Riga to Vilnius."

Thoroughly enjoyed my day tour from Riga to Vilnius with Anna and Kamile. Both guides provided interesting facts about both countries, and also shared experiences that their families had dealt with. They were informative, interesting and at times numerous. Lunch was well organised and tasty.

"LOVE the guides! "

A last minute decision to skip a plane and enjoy a drive between Riga and Vilnius. SO glad we did. Our guides (Anna and Kimmie - we were lucky to have both) were both incredibly well informed, funny, classy AND they loved the 80s. For young people in their early 20s they rocked our era en route between stops. Speaking of which - each stop was very well guided, with thoughtful comments and suggestions along the way. Very grateful we chose this option - thanks so much!

"Better than we ever anticipated!!!"

Our guide was so friendly and personable! His English was perfect which made conversation flow easily and comfortably. The guide's knowledge of the history of the area was extensive, we learned a great deal, and he could readily answer any questions that we asked. I was surprised by how much we enjoyed the Bog excursion! It was beautiful, interesting, and offered nice exercise. Pärnu was lovely and the patience that our guide showed as my son shopped for the "perfect" Estonian wool sweater is commendable! We had a delicious pizza lunch before continuing to Tallinn. We felt very comfortable asking our guide for a WC stop, temperature control in the van, etc. This was a VERY positive experience and i would highly recommend the tour as a worthwhile way to enhance travel between Riga and Tallinn!! Thank you for a most memorable experience!

"Fantastic Tour with a fantastic Guide!"

What a brilliant day from start to finish, Kamile is a credit to the tour company, funny, friendly and a fountain of knowledge. Even dropped us off at the hotel too! Could not have picked a better way to get from Riga to Vilnius. Would definitely recommend this tour. What a great way to get from one city to the another. I was travelling with my 15 year old sons and they loved it too! Our highlight was the Hill of Crosses. Thanks Kamile and Thanks Traveller Tours

"Wonderful tour!"

We had a really great tour from Riga to Vilnius with Kamile. She kept us entertained and also is super knowledgable and full of great stories. While the tour obviously costs more than public transportation, we felt it was definitely worth it because we saw some places we wouldn't have chosen to see beforehand but really enjoyed, and others which we wanted to see but are really hard to access via public transportation. Unfortunately, due to the shorter days in winter, Trakai wasn't included in our tour, but it was an easy trip from Vilnius, so it wasn't so bad.

"A good way to get between capitals"

Great tour, interesting mix of places. Could have had one more spot, but the short days made that tricky. Lovely tour guide!

"Lovely tour guide however the bus is a bit too small"

Enjoyed the tour a little but I don’t think it’s something for me. It’s a long time on the small bus with other people sitting so closely to you. It’s more of a large car than a bus. I did really enjoy seeing the towns and the National Park and the guide was a lovely guy who knew a lot about the Estonia and Latvia. My partner enjoyed this tour more than I did. I don’t think it’s for everyone but you definitely won’t regret it.

"Just perfect"

Just perfect. Very interesting private tour.

"Lovely day trip"

Absolutely a fantastic way of travelling from Riga to Vilnius. Saw a bunch of highlights of Latvia and Lithuania other than the capital cities. Laurynas is a great guide, very helpful and fun. Fantastic day!

"Excellent"

That was great way to get from Riga to Tallinn & Mike is a very friendly tour guide

"Riga to Vilnius"

The trip was excellent. Very comfortable van and our tour Guide Kamile , originally from Lithuania was great.

"Amazing Trip"

I had a fabulous time on the tour. It was in a great way to travel between the two cities with lots of different sites to see on the way. Our tour guide Kamil was a wealth of knowledge and her enthusiasm really made the trip memorable for me. Thank you so much!

"Twice as long but worth it"

Rather than catch the regular bus, I did the tour with Kamile. It was vastly more interesting and friendly than an express bus would have been.

"Best Tour guide ever! "

There would not have been a better way to go to Tallinn from Riga. Marju was exceptional and really made the trip very pleasant. The stops were well planned with adequate time to go around. The best part was the associated information that Marju conveyed effortlessly keeping the tour quite interesting! The lunch was at an amazing place with great local cuisine. Marju was able to get us there despite the place not being fully available as it was the day after christmas. The van was comfortable and driving was good. She also provided great pointers on what to do and try in Tallinn which really helped my stay in Tallinn. Aitah Marju!

"PERFECT"

THE TRIP IS AMAZING, EVEN WITH NEGATIVE TEMPERATURES!!

"Impressive trip"

We had a great time from Rīga-Vilnius. The tour guide is super good and has a good attitude and understand our needs. They are very useful and informative giving us a snap info of where we visit. As we traveled with seniors, they did their best to accommodate our parents by having parking space/drop off and pick up location next to the places we visit and help them to get on and off the mini van. I would recommend this trip to everyone. It is far better than you drive yourself in such a bad weather conditions. It is worried-free. All you need to do is to sit back and relax.

"Best way to travel from Riga to Vilnius!"

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

"Best way to travel between cities!"

Such a great way to see the sites between the capital cities, as well as getting some insight into the culture with the informal chats with your tour guide-driver while on the road. Far better than flying or standard bus. Very highly recommended!

"This is how to travel 🧳 "

We were picked up in a minibus and it was comfortable. The tour was great if you are going from either Vilnius to Riga or the opposite. We got from Riga to Vilnius and it was a lot of interesting stops on the way. We learned alot of history about al the Baltic countries and saw new places. Our tour guide was Laurynas and it was like visiting a history lesson, a theater tour and comedy stand up at once. He drived safe and careful. It’s a very low price for a whole day of entertainment. I want to recommend everybody to take this trip. You will regret not doing this.

"Highly recommend"

Had an amazing time on this tour. Turned a wasted travel day into a highlight of our trip. Our tour guide Mic was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. Would highly recommend this for anyone heading to or from Tallinn.

"Very patient and experience guide"

We are a group of 8, moving slowly on the wet and slippery floor. Andres is very patience with us. He brought us to the forest and historical castle. He ensure we reach our apartment in Helsinki safely. He is a safe driver and good guide.

"Highly Recommended"

Really glad that i did this tour, I didn’t really do research on the visited places but the guide explained it well.

"A fun-filled way to get from Riga to Tallinn!"

We recently took the Riga-Tallinn Sightseeing tour bus and it was one of the best experiences ever! We took a private tour as there was no public tour that day. Our guide, Mike picked us up from our hotel in Riga and led us for an amazing day trip. Our first stop was at the Bobsleigh track - it provided wonderful views over the area and was a fun trek to see an actual working ice track! Next, we visited the quaint old town of Cesis to pick up soveniors and grab a cup of coffee, Following that, the trek through the Gauja national park was definitely the highlight of the day - a chance to really connect with nature in a snowy walk. We then stopped for lunch near a Beer Factory, before heading to our last stop of the day, Viljandi to see the ruins of the fort. Finally, we were dropped off at our hotel in Tallinn with a day full of fond memories! Overall, a fun trip and definitely recommended to do!

"Interesting way to get from Riga to Vilnius"

Everything was on time and very comfortable. 5 well chosen spots to stop along the way. Lucky with the weather but unfortunately the last two stops in the dark due to short days but both stops are beautifully lit up at night, so it was still perfect in a different way. Guide was very knowledgeable and spiced up the stories with family history. Thanks for a great day.

"Couldn't be happier about our decision"

We wanted to take a regular bus from Riga to Tallinn first, but decided to do this tour instead and couldn't be happier about our decision. Kris was a reasonable and dedicated driver and a hilarious and kind guide. Thank you for that awesome day!

"Highly recommended!"

The tour was amazing. Our tour guide, Laurynas, did an amazing job throughout the trip. He gave us so much insights and information on the places we visited. The stories he told were incredibly interesting. Besides, I probably wouldn't have visited these places on my own if it weren't for this tour. Definitely give it a go!

"The highlight of our trip"

An excellent day with a knowledgeable and funny guide. Highly recommended! If you’re going from Riga to Tallinn or viceversa it’s a must!

"Great way to see and learn about the places inbetween Riga and Vilnius "

Really enjoyed the tour! Thanks so much to our awesome guide, Laurynas! He was very knowledgable and funny and helped make the tour a great day. Much better doing this than just taking a normal coach etc

"Gloomy weather but still a shiny tour"

Camile our tour guide made up for the gloomy, rainy, cold and windy weather by being the most cheerful tour guide i've ever experienced. It was more like having a conversation with a friend more than being with a tour guide during our tour. She really made us feel at home and we enjoyed our trip!

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

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

"Best Way to Travel from Riga to Tallinn"

Taking the small group tour between Riga and Tallinn was a great decision I made. The tour was fantastic and I got to see places in Latvia and Estonia that I would have not seen myself. Mike was an amazing guide, very thoughtful, kind and funny. He answered all the questions from the travelers so kindly and patiently and made sure everyone was going at their own pace. Glad I saw the picturesque small towns and spent some time outdoors in the Gauja national park. This trip comes highly recommended to anyone not wanting to do the drive themselves and wanting to see some beautiful places outside the cities of Tallinn and Riga.

"Great way to get from Riga to Tallinn learning more about the history and culture of Latvia and Estonia"

Kätlin was a great guide and driver. She told us about the history, geography and culture of Latvia and Estonia in a humorous way.

"Fab trip"

Great trip thanks!! Hill of crosses was great. The only thing bad was that the castle was closed.

"Excellent guide"

Excellent way to travel to Tallin, particularly by the explanations and simpaty of our guide!

"Wonderful way to see the Latvian and Estonian country side"

The guide was outstanding and very engaging and personable. Refrained from using private cell phone during the tour. Made an effort to show us the sites we were most interested I seeing.

"Great way to travel from Riga to Vilnius"

Alina, our driver and guide, was very cheerful and active. She had lots of stories and jokes to tell. She drove carefully. The van was spacious and had lots of space for luggage. A bottle of drinking water was provided. The whole tour took 12 hours. I find it too long. One of the reasons was Alina was not very strict with time. Some tourists spent their time as they wanted.

"excellant "

tour and guide were excellent . we completed our 5 places visit 1 hour ago. then we request Laurynas to take us some picturious places in Vilnius. He did . He also help us to get food that we choose. it was a nice experience. best wishes. rashid

"Much more to these countries than their capital cities!!!"

I had previously taken the tour from Vilnius to Riga, because I think it’s a good opportunity to see some of these beautiful countries outside of their capital cities. This tour was also very interesting and informative. Our guide was friendly and welcoming, he gave a great introduction to his country.

"The Perfect way to see these 2 countries"

Travelling from Riga to Tallinn, we wanted to take in as much of the country side as we could. Alternative travel methods such as direct bus or plane didn’t really appeal as you missed out on seeing the country first hand. This tour was great! 12 hours travel but it took us to off the beaten track sights. We visited castles and towns; forests and bobsled tracks; all with the amazing help and knowledge of our tour guide. Great experience and highly recommended

"Best way to travel from one city to the other"

Excellent friendly driver/guide. Stopped at all the interesting places between Riga and Vilnius. Ample time and explanation at stops. Lunch stop was at a great hotel. Great job!

"Sensational way to see hidden parts of Latvia and Lithuania "

Alina really made this tour. She was insightful, energetic, knowledgeable and so willing to make sure we had a fabulous time. I wouldn’t have visited these parts of Latvia and Lithuania if I hadn’t done this tour. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to travel between the two countries and not sit on a train or bus the whole time. Sensational!

"Great Experience"

We recently visited the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. We organized our own itinerary but used Traveller Tours to get us from one country to the next. We arrived in Tallinn, Estonia a day earlier to visit the city. The next day, Traveller Tours took us from Tallinn to Riga, Latvia. We spent the next day, visiting Riga ourselves. The following day, we continued our Traveller Tour to Vilnius, Lithuania. The following day, we included the city guided Vilnius tour in our visit. Traveller Tours is a great way to see the Baltic countryside visiting may sites you wouldn’t see otherwise. Our drivers, Camille and La..were friendly, and enthusiastic guides. They were knowledgeable of the past and present history of their countries. A lot of this history was told to them by their grandparents who experienced WW II. Traveller Tours is giving international tourists the opportunity to visit this part of the world in a small group experience. Guides: Kamilie to Riga, Laurynas to Vilnius

"Great tour!"

A fun way to get between Riga & Tallinn while seeing more of the country side - including the bobsled run and national park. Plus a great lunch stop. No hassle of renting a car and figuring out where to stop - just enjoy the experience. Our guide was top notch too!

"Highly recommended "

The guider is really enjoying what he is doing that where the naturality as a guider. The best way for Riga-Vilnius while stopping at places to go with details explanation of the places and country.

"Great trip"

We had an absolutely amazing experience travelling from Riga to Tallinn. Our guide Anna was lovely and very knowledgable of the area as well. Highly recommend this tour!

"Great day, awesome guide"

This day trip lets you discover so much of these amazing countries that you would never know if you only visited the capital cities. The Baltic countries are all beautiful and unique, with a complex history and so many interesting sites to explore. This day trip gives you a taste for all of it - sobering war camps, beautiful gardens, (tasty) reindeer farms, the awesome hill of crosses, and even sunset over the castle at Trakai. But enough about the countries - the real highlight was the tour guide. Imagine a viking crossed with a teady-bear, and then topped with a playful sense of humour and a deep, honest interest in everyone he meets. Oh, and did I mention he sometimes gives you chocolate? Laurynas made the trip fun, educational, and inspiring. His passion for the Baltic countries, and their history, was entirely contagious. Also, he has really good taste in music playlists! I can't recommend this tour and the company any more highly - just book it!

"Fun and interesting Riga to Vilnius trip. "

This was a great way to travel from Riga to Vilnius. Although 12 hours sounded like a long day, it went surprisingly quickly. This was certainly helped by our knowledgeable and friendly driver (Lau), his good sense of humour and excellent choice of road trip music! Our stops were all interesting and lunch was also well priced and tasty. Traveller Tours were also quick to reply to email and booking enquires. I highly recommend this company and their tours.

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

This was the ideal way to get to know more about the two countries, see some of the iconic sites and get from A to B. Laurynas brought history to life and took very good care of us. So we were well looked after, had a nice lunch (the apple pie is much recommended!) and altogether a very good time together.

"Learned a lot, great guide "

We had a fantastic day, full of information and impresessions, Lau is not only a great guide but also fun and a good driver. Best way to get from Rīga to Vilnius if interested in more than just having a transfer. Ah, lunch was delicious as well. Loved the little chocolates, Lau, thanks!

"Loved it - great way to get between cities! "

As with most people, I opted to take this tour to see a bit of the countryside of Latvia / Lithuania rather than take the direct bus route. Overall, the tour was great - well paced (we left and arrived on time, and the guide made sure we had ample opportunity to see sites), great information at each stop, and plenty of time to explore independently after the initial introduction to the site. Really enjoyed it!

"Full Bus"

Eight travelers, 12 hours. Too long. Cut it to. 9-10 hours.

"The guide is excellent..."

Tour guide is so knowledge about the nature and history.... but the best one is when we stuck in the forest , he tried to solve the problems.He ran so far away to ask for help even though the tools wasn’t work. Thank you for the guide.

"Excellent, convenient trip stopping at several major sites!"

I was so happy to discover this tour offering. Being able to not only transfer efficiently between Riga and Vilnius, but at the same time make 5 stops at tourist highlights I had wanted to visit anyway, was really great! This is especially true because some places (like Hill of Crosses) are not that easy to get to by public transportation. In general visiting all these places would have taken me at least two days, so this was really an efficient and stress-free way to travel. Our guide was excellent -- engaging, open, full of information not only on the sites but also on life and current events in the Baltics overall. The small group design of the tour as well as the super reasonable price were awesome as well. This is a highly recommended tour and company. (In fact, I wanted to do some of their other tours organized in Lithuania, but unfortunately at this time of year there is limited availability because of relatively few tourists). I'll definitely consider the Talinn-Riga and other tours with Traveller Tours the next time I am in the region!!!!

"Fun"

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

"Start as strangers end as a little family"

Travelled from Riga to Vilnius in September 2018 with Kamille. Would definitely recommend this tour transfer. The stops to driving ratio was good and although I would love to have stayed longer in some places it isn't possible without making it an over long day. However because my time in the area was limited it at least meant I saw some pretty great sights. My travelling companions were lovely, a group if strangers who ended the day as a little family on the bus

"It is the highlight of our trip! "

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

"Enjoyable tour with lots of sites."

Really enjoyed the tour and learnt alot about Latvia and Lithuania.

"Great trip from Riga to Tallinn!"

Good to have some stop-overs during the long hours of usual driving route. Local guides tell local stories along the way. The group size is just right.

"Great way to get from Riga to Vilnuis"

We had such a good tour from Riga to Vilnius. Our driver/ guide was excellent. He was knowledgeable about the sites and history. He made the trip a lot of fun and he had a great sense of humour. Also he was a very safe driver.

"Alinaaaa amaaaaazing!!!!"

Omg. So much to say!! Alina?? Or Alona? A lithuanian chick was our tour guide. Totally hilarious and friendly!!! I kept getting lost on private walks but she was my hero!!!

"Great way to see more of the countries"

This was a great way to see more of the countries. The tour guide gave some good personal stories and there was a good mix of personal time vs. being guided at the stops. The vans are comfortable. Overall I would highly recommend the tour to others

"Interesting and enjoyable "

The bus took us from Riga to Vilnius with stops at points of interest along the way. First stop was at Salaspils memorial, that opened up a whole area of history to us and was very moving. We’d have liked longer here to see more of the museum. The next stop was Rundale Palace, a stunning surprise with gardens to rival Versailles. We had lunch at a restaurant offering traditional Lithuanian food, with venison on the menu and limited vegetarian options. The Hill of Crosses in North Lithuania is surely unique; we saw two bridal parties there and our guide explained the custom. After that was Lithuania’s second city, Kaunas; we could have done with less time here. Final stop was the really beautiful Trakai, It was a fine evening and a stroll was welcome, unfortunately the castle was closing so we couldn’t go in. Some people sampled a famous local pastry speciality. Our guide Kamile was excellent, engaging, knowledgeable and with first rate English. All in all, we’d highly recommend this tour to anybody who wants to learn about life in the three Baltic states, past and present.

"Day Trip Riga to Livnius"

This was an excellent day stopping at 5 very interesting sites along the way.

"Brief and quite interesting"

It was run nicely and professionally by th guide whose name I can’t remember right now. We saw interesting places and everything went nice and smooth. The guide is professional and ready to answer to the questions I had. The only thing is the restaurant stop: I would change that restaurant, the entire personnel was frozen with no emotion towards customers. The weitress was extremely distant and did the basic.

"Best way to travel"

We couldn't have asked for a better day day. The sights we visited were fascinating (especially the Hill of Crosses), the countryside interesting and our guide informative. Would highly recommend this tour.

"Completely recommended to anyone interested on local culture and history."

Absolutely satisfied with the tour. Make you feel like traveling in family. Safe driver. Five Stars!!!

"The best way to get from Riga to Tallinn"

It was really good experience. The trip was well organized, we visited several beatiful places, small picturesque towns, walked in pineapple forest, learnt interesting things about Latvia and Estonia history. Despite the long day, it was "light" and "live" trip, thanks to our guide Line, very nice person with good sense of humour. The lunch in the authentic restaurant was super delicious. We really enjoyed the trip, would recommend this option to everyone.

"Informative personalised trip with delightful singing guide Mikelis. "

Great way to get a feel for rural parts of Latvia and Estonia, with stops at points of interest.

"A great day and a great way to travel "

My son and I joined the rest of the group travelling from Riga to Tallin. Our guide was Mikelis. He entertained us very well throughout the day with his local knowledge and even threw in a couple of folk songs. It was a great experience, visiting some really interesting places we would never of considered normally visiting. I would throughly recommend the trip to anyone wanting to travel between the 2 cities.

"Thoroughly enjoyed it."

Our guide new Marju knew the hidden places, explained various things on the way.

"Best Way to Get to Vilnius"

It didn't seem like a long day but we left Riga easily and after stopping at monuments, castles with lakes and gardens, then the Hill of Crosses arriving in Vilnius for dinner made for an easy, stress-less day. Great experience especially with our driver/guide Adams ability to keep a rapid pace through the day.

"Un tuffo nella storia e nella tradizione dei paesi baltici "

Abbiamo deciso di prenotare il tour da Riga a Tallinn con questo Tour Bus ed è stata un'esperienza fantastica! Abbiamo percorso strade che mai avremmo fatto e visitato paesi all'interno che non avremmo mai visto. La nostra guida era Mike, un ragazzo lettone giovane e molto simpatico. Ve lo consigliamo!

"Riga-Tallinn with Traveller"

We had a wonderful day with Laura T of Traveller. We took the tour from Riga to Tallinn and visited the beautiful cities in between. Laura was very helpful with our six month old. She was very knowledgeable and shared trivia facts about the places we visited. She even picked fresh berries for us. She is a bright girl and we wish her well. We really had a memorable time with her and would cherish it forever.

"What a great adventure!"

I was so glad to have found this company. My original plan was just for a quick an easy way to get from Riga to Vilnius. The opportunity to combine it with a sightseeing tour along the way was fantastic. Got to visit a lot of places I wouldn't have been able to see on my own. Highly recommended!

"Exceptional, truly the best!"

The best tour you could ask for. Our tour guide was passionate, knowledgeable, personable and oh so thoughtful and kind. The sites we stopped at were terrific with enough time to explore after our guides explanation. He provided so much fun and the group of 8 were so happy with the entire day. Over the years we have gone on a number of tours, but this young man stood out above all others.

"Awesome way to get from Riga - Vilnius "

This is a great way to get from Riga to Vilnius! Our guides, Anna and Laurynas, did an amazing job. They were friendly. personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend checking this tour out if you are traveling thru the Baltic's.

"Riga to Tallinn "

Our guide was delightful! We would have been fine with more music in the van for the long ride. The sights are beautiful and it was nice to get out and walk around.

"Excellent transit between two countries"

Adam was safe-driving, interesting in his explications, open to questions and suggestions, and well in time for the arrival

"Great tour !"

Very interesting tour with a nice guide. I recommend !

"Highly recommended ! "

Perfect way to travel from Riga to Vilnius with multiple stops in between to go to places in the middle of no where / without easy access with public transport. Our guide Alina was super fun and informative about everything.

"Sightseeing with pizazz!"

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

"Tour stops at all the important places between Riga and Vilnius"

We saw everything we wanted to see. We had 8 tourists in a 9 passenger van. It was great. Another van with 8 more was with another driver and van from same company. Our guide was excellent. He was from Lithuania and spoke excellent English. He drove carefully as well. It would be nice to spend a little more time at some places, but if you did you’d get into Vilnius even later than 9:15, like we did. If it left at 8:00am, you’d miss the museam at Salispils. In the end, it was the perfect tour. We saw what we wanted to see. We got from Riga to Vilnius. And, the value of the trip was very good. I seriously recommend it.

"Laura, the best guide ever!"

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

"Memorable "

It’s great to combine sightseeing with getting me from Riga to Tallinn

"Fantastic tour!"

We had a fantastic time from Riga to Tallinn having asp done the Villnius to Riga tour. Riga to Tallinn was a bit more relaxed, loved the forest cliffs! Great restaurant pick in a hunting lodge hotel. I’d highly recommend these one-way tours! Marju recommended five places in Tallinn - we made it to four. Thanks for the awesome Tips!!!

"Nice trip"

Places were intersting, guides were smart and professional at the same time. An excellent way to travel. Highly recommended!

"Anna is the best guide turistic!!"

She is nice and very good!!

"Anna is fantastic guide!!"

She is very nice and smile...beautiful trip!!

"Great tour"

Awesome tour that was well worth the money. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She also dropped us off at our hotels which was very nice of her. Thank you!

"Very nice and relaxing "

Very pleasend experience with a good guide. Visited interesting places in the countryside

"Great way to travel from Riga to Vilnius"

While this leg offers a little less than the Tallinn-Riga leg in terms of the itinerary, Mike was an amazing guide and made the trip super enjoyable through his stories of the Latvian culture. We had nice conversations about our mutual traditions, cultures, people - way off the playbooks if I might add - which gave the trip a warm little touch. The sightseeing tour is a great way to visit places that don't usually fall on people's itineraries, as well as a great way to relate to the histories of both the states.

"Enjoyable Tour"

We are a couple with a small kid and have joined the private tour from Tallinn to Sigulda. Our guide, Trinn, is a very attentive person and had taken care all the need of us, especially for the kid. We have visited the recommended spots to feel the natural environment of Estonia and Lativa. She has also explained a lot the history and society of Estonia which let us have a more clear understanding of the region. We do have plenty of chatting on whatever we are interested and have enjoyed a great day. She had also shared her childhood life which made us fond of the living here and we especially thanks for telling us to pick the natural blueberries. We do recommend to join the tour to see and feel the Baltic area.

"Perfect"

A perfect way to go from Riga to Vilnius and seeing many interesting sites you wouldn't see without a private car. 5 stops, max 8 people, a comfortable bus and a guide for 12 hours for 55 euros is really a good offer. Our guide Adam was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Really a good choice!

"Fantasitc"

It was fantastic. Lau, our guide is very friendly.

"Excellent tour"

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

"Excellent program. Educative and exciting"

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

"A wonderful way to go from Riga to Tallinn"

We were planning a trip that would include Riga and Tallinn, and I have run into your ad proposing to get from Riga to Tallinn by a bus tour. We decided to try it, but had some doubts. In particular, we were not sure we would survive 12 hours on a bus. In the end we enjoyed the trip very much. Triin the guide/driver was very professional, very knowledgeable and with a good sense of humor. We visited beautiful Latvian and Estonian countryside, which we would never seen otherwise, and the time passed very fast.

"Best way to travel between cities"

We had a fantastic day out with the added bonus of getting to our final destination (Vilnius). The 5 stops are very interesting and Karolis, our guide was very knowledgable about both countries - his passion is Lithuania though ;) He pointed out interesting things on the way and we had the added bonus that he is a biologist who knows much about the flora and fauna. The small group suited us perfectly and we had fun!! I can recommend Karolis - safe driver and a fun guide.

"Interesting way to go to Tallinn from Riga"

It was a good change to go to Tallinn from Riga visiting interesting places in Latvia and Estonia. The lunch was great in a lovely place and our guide was very nice. The only dissapointing thing was the Military Museum because our guide spent too much time there and making political matters.

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

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

"Enjoyable way to travel from Riga to Tallinn"

I enjoyed this tour from Riga to Tallinn. The only negative was the weather, which is obviously beyond your control (it rained at times during the day). The stops were interesting, and I enjoyed talking to Karolis (the guide) and the other travellers. Karolis did a great job as guide, with his knowledge of the sites, and was also a careful driver.

"Energetic, lively, and informative! "

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

"Perfect when you have only a few days"

Our guide Laurynas was perfect : he’s genuinely a good person who is dedicated to his work and very competent. People who were with me were very nice as well. I finally came back to Trakai by myself (it’s only 2 euros by bus from Vilnius) just to swim in the lake and it was lovely. So if Laurynas invites you to do it at the end of the trip, don’t hesitate, I definitely support you to do it in case you won’t have time to go back later. I was to shy and I regret it. Good luck to our guide in his future and all the people I shared this tour with.

"Adventurous inter-city bus tour!"

I found this an exciting way to travel between Riga and Vilnius, it is a long day, but an adventurous alternative to a standard bus trip between cities! It's also an opportunity to cover multiple sights in one day, that you may otherwise need to visit on individual day trips from your base once there. Our guide was very energetic and engaging, passionate about the history behind these countries and the sights we visited, full of interesting stories and anecdotes which add to the experience! There were plenty of stops along the way, so you never feel as though you're stuck in the car for very long, and a lunch break too which was a late change due to the first choices being booked, but a great authentic restaurant in a beautiful countryside setting.

"Nice way to hit the road"

We really did enjoy that trip, our guide was lovely and as we were seating next to him we talked a lot about the countries and the culture. We loved the walk in the national park and the two cities of Cesis and Viljandi, we could have stayed there longer. The military museum was less interesting for us.

"The best way to go from Riga to Vilnius"

This tour was one of the best parts of my holiday. Great sights on the way from Riga to Vilnius, fantastic guide, learned lots, and the others in the group were great fun. Special thanks to our guide Laurynas - you made us laugh so much whilst also teaching us so much. Thank you! Highly recommended.

"Good experience and wonderful places!"

A nice option to reach Tallinn from Riga seeing beautiful places around Latvia and Estonia. Curious stories and a adventurous travel with people of different countries. Thank you!

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

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

"Great trip with our great guide Karolis"

The tour from Riga to Vilnius was simply superb. Our guide Karolis was very knowledgeable and interpersonal and we were very happy with his company. Thank you, Karolis!

"Awesome tour "

Wow we had a great time- we really enjoy our tour bus trip! The guide was excellent and made the trip a memorable experience - he was knowledgeable, funny and genuinely friendly guy. The drive was long but he made it fun. We have seen some really beautiful sights and fell in love in the Baltic history and culture. Would definitely recommend this to anyone and we are really happy we booked it:) and based on that experience we hopefully book again!

"One Extraordinary day"

We spent a brilliant, fantastic day with Mike on our tour from Riga to Tallin, thank you Mike!! I recommend this trip for all the people who wants to travel this way: Riga to Tallin or back, enjoying the countryside and getting historically true/ real /interesting /rich information. We would happily repeat and repeat....

"Perfecto "

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

"Great tour guide "

My partner and I were sick of flying between cities on our trip to the Baltics so we decided to try this tour. I was worried I'd be stuck in a boring car all day wishing I had flown but I was pleasantly surprised :) The tour is a full day but the distance between stops is really well thought out and you don't feel like you have ever been stuck in the car too long. All stops were interesting and it was nice to see some of the countryside. There was a toilet at every stop and the longest time spent in the car was 2 hours at the end coming into Tallin. Our guide Katlin was awesome! A really lovely young lady who had an amazing knowledge of the history of the area, every question we asked her she was more than happy to answer honestly and she really knew her stuff. She gave great recommendations on places to eat in Tallinn and was super laid back. While the rest of the group slept in the back of the van she chatted with us up the front and made the trip very enjoyable. I can highly recommended her and the trip from Riga to Tallin. Thanks Katlin

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

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

"Best way to come from Riga to Vilnius"

Very nice tour with interesting stops (hill of crosses) and many facts about the history of Latvia and Lithuania.

"The perfect way to travel! "

Had a lovely transport and sightseeing tour with Kristel from Riga and to Tallinn. She was very knowledgeable, kind and solution oriented, when we were once again struck by the on-and-off showers from above. We saw some great attractions, learned a lot about Estonia and Latvia, and the almost 12 hours just flew by. Great way to get from Tallin to Riga while seeing something along the way - we especially loved travelling on the small roads and watching the fields and countryside.

"Superb value tour"

Wow! This is the way to travel between Riga and Vilnius and see the important sights. Our guide Adam gave us an excellent commentary regarding each of the sights, and filled us in with background material regarding Latvia and Lithuania. It was a long day but excellent value - would highly recommend this tour.

"Tour Riga Vilnius"

Anna and the other guide are very kind and they told us a lot of the history about Latvia and Lithuania. The places that we have visited are very interesting sites.

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

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

"Great tour, great value for money "

Super nice tour guide, very friendly. Great way to see the south of Latvia and north of Lithuania without going through the hassle of renting a car and everything. I would just say that maybe give a little more time to take pictures and walk around would be a plus but apart from that really great tour

"Carpool karaoke through the Baltics"

Our wonderful guide, Laurynas, made the day memorable, fun and informative. He provided helpful information at each stop and answered questions fully. He has a passion for Baltic history and pride in his native country of Lithuania. At the very beginning, he had each of us introduce ourselves -- which helped him learn our names and also helped us learn the names of our fellow travelers. We appreciated his candy treats, humor and constant attention to making sure that everyone was doing well and enjoying the day. After he discovered that we all liked music, he took requests during lunch and downloaded songs for the next part of the drive. What a memorable trip singing along with new friends to our favorite songs! Once in Vilnius, he made sure we all reached our lodging places without worry. Laurynus is one of the best guides I've experienced, and I've been fortunate to travel to many countries and places across the United States. He's a keeper!

"absolutely recommended"

This was the second trip I took with this company. My tour guide was Laura. Despite her age, she was incredibly professional and very informative. surely being a history student helped. she did exactly what she was supposed to do. She was responsible, considerate and kind. The day was long. 12 hours. so many places to see and to do. unfortunately, we had very little time in places we stopped particularly in Viljandi and Cecis towns but as I said it is a long trip and I can totally understand the rush. The lunch stop was well chosen. The food was great (though more expensive than the one we had in Vilnius-Riga tour). I would strongly recommend this tour to anybody who is doing the Baltic tour. Thank you, Laura. you are a star!

"Fantastic day with a very knowledgeable guide"

This is such a great trip. Laura was a brilliant guide, she put 100% in all day and we learned so much about Latvian and Estonian history. Her knowledge about all aspects of Estonia was impressive and she coped with loads of "interesting" questions from a couple of our fellow travelers! We saw parts of the 2 counties that we would never have seen on a normal coach and especially enjoyed the short trek in the forest. Lunch was very good and, as we had pre-orded, served with the minimum of fuss and waiting time. On a seperate note, we would like to acknowledge the help from Heleene in the office as we managed to confuse the dates for our bookings and it took a few emails to make sure that it was all sorted. All in all, I can thoroughly recommend the company and the tour.

"Great way of traveling between cities. "

I liked the stops along the way, But maybe we should be given the option to actually use the bobsled as opposed to just visit the track. Cesis town was my favorite. Our tour guide was flexible and caring. He drove carefully and attentive. The only think I would change is the choice of restaurant for lunch. It was not an authentic restaurant but a hotel restaurant which to me doesn’t align with the feel of the trip. Everyone that was taking this tour in our van were experienced travelers looking for cool experiences. I think a more traditional place will be more appreciated. A special thank you to our tour guide which showed us “city people” how to pick blueberries! I never tasted any blueberries as good as those. I think we all felt it was super awesome to do. We looked like little kids picking and eating blueberries from the shrubs. :-)

"You're in good hands"

Lau was one of the most engaging, attentive, and hilarious tour guides we've ever had! Like the other tours with this company, he made the Riga to Vilnius trip lively with personalized stories, but what sets him apart are the treats (several local candies and pastries) and dropping us off to our hotels/AirBnB. He also noticed that one tire was low in air, which he quickly discovered was a flat. He found a local auto mechanic, and we were on our way again in 30 minutes! This tour is well worth the extra time and money.

"Misadventures of a Great Adventure."

Well to be honest there was only one misadventure which turned the trip in to and even better one, considering the circumstances. Lao (that's how it sounded and I saw another reviewer spell his name this way) was amazing. SUPER knowledgeable of the sights and areas we went to. Even if he wasn't telling us true stories (which i'm sure he was, because who doesnt believe Americans were the first people to settle in Riga) he told his stories with conviction, which is all i needed. No fake news here. Keep in mind this was a VERY HOT day, so he always made sure we stayed hydrated. Sadly when we were about to leave Kaunas, he did discover the van running low on air pressure and when we went to fill it up, the air didn't hold. BUT, Lao immediately got on the phone and started searching for repair shops and thankfully he found one just a couple blocks away. At the shop we all waited patiently as the tire was getting repaired (30min) which gave the tour group some bonding time. Which was good fun getting to know everyone's story. We had 2 Swedish doctors looking for the New Viagra, 2 teachers from the Netherlands just trying to escape their students, a mother and daughter from Taiwan who were probably on a bonding spirit quest, a young lady from Singapore who just wanted to do all the fun things forbidden in Singapore and not suffer the consequences of corporal punishment, and then ME, the future president of the United States. =) This delay made our timing to Trakai castle Perfect for sunset. Which was one of the bonuses. Also because of the delay, Lao treated us to a traditional Lithuanian....food thing, not sure what it was called but after i ate the first one i ordered 4 more. Also on the way back, since none of us had to be back at any particular time, we took a quick trip to the Hill of Angles, Amazing sight. And of course finally, Lao dropped all of us off at our respective sleeping locations...ohh yeah and we also got chocolates. Good people are hard to find these days. The group i was with seemed like all good people. Great people are even harder to find, and Loa is one of them. Highly recommend this trip, and any of the other Baltic trips this company has to offer. And if you get a chance to have Lao as your driver, you'll be in for most informative, adventurous journey, with treats. =) -Leo

"Informative and Caring"

I loved this tour. I'm back in Canada a couple of weeks later and the tour is still quite vivid for me. The sites were interesting and the guide was informative. We had a family of five with small children and the guide was always solicitous of their comfort and helped the parents with handling the gear that their infants needed. To cap it all off, at the end of the tour he drove them right to their hotel in Vilnius so that they would have to worry about trying to find it on their own in a strange city with small children. Great job!

"Great tour guide"

Although some of the stops are a little bit random (the museum is strange and none of the exhibits are in English), this is a great tour made even better by a brilliant, funny tour guide. The fact that there were only 4 of us on the bus made the day even better.

"Loved My Second Tour with Tallinn Traveller"

I took both the Tallinn-Riga and now the Riga-Vilnius tour, and they were both excellent! Mikelis was a terrific guide and a safe driver. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of the Baltic States. The 12 hours fly by with wondeful stops and great stories. I highly recommend this experience!

"Definitely Recommended"

Took this tour from Riga to Vilnius. I highly recommend this tour if you are traveling to Vilnius (or opposite direction). All of the sites we saw were great. I have to say that we didn't get enough time at some places, and maybe a little too much in other places, but I think that is just personal preference and the tour is great for getting to see all of the sites, along with places I didn't know about before hand. I would give the tour guide 6 stars if that were possible here!

"Tour-iffic trip through Latvia and Estonia "

We had a fantastic time on our tour with our knowledgeable and friendly guide Karolis. The sights were unique and interesting (particularly Gauja National Park). Karolis was really knowledgeable about the plants and animals of the region, and we enjoyed getting to learn about local biodiversity. Plus the van was a very comfortable ride!

"Really lovely, scenic and informative... "

Me and my friend took the tour from Riga to Tallinn. There were many great activities on the way, but for us the highlight was the national park. So beautiful! Our tour guide Kamile was so friendly and informative and made the trip super special. She went out of her way to make everyone in the group comfortable. My friend is particularly interested in Baltic history and Kamile shared many fascinating stories with her that totally made her day. Highly recommended!

"Sightseeing bus tour from Riga to Vilnius"

This 12 hour bus tour is professionally planned and executed, starting and finishing on time, with no feeling of being rushed. The 5 places we stopped at are carefully selected to give a mixture of castle garden, history, religion, the soviet period, and a beautiful town and castle by the lakes. The guide and driver (nick named Lao as we probably would spell his proper name wrong) is knowledgeable and entertaining, as well as a safe driver. The van is clean and super comfortable, with air cond a relief from this summer's heat wave. Lots of room for luggage of 8 guests in the back. Great alternative to flight or train or coach. Highly recommended for its terrific value!!

"History and Nature"

The trip was fun and I learned a lot from our guide.

"Fun day from Riga to Vilnius "

This was a great way to learn and see that Latvia and Lithuania are more than the two capitals. Lau was a great guide; enthusiastic, personable, and knowledgeable. Even though we were running a late, he didn’t rush us through all the things he wanted to show us. Despite the late hour, he took us to our hotels in Vilnius too. Great service!

"Interesting"

Very nice guide (Kamile), well prepared and full of energy. Highly recommend!

"Oh so very worth it!"

Really quite brilliant experience on this tour - coming from the UK I hold my hands up and admit I knew little about the Baltic nations and it was a brilliant insight into the nature, history and culture of the area. The guide Kamile was lovely and very informative, took very good care of us catering for anything we needed! We travelled alongside a group of friends from Luxembourg and a family from Romania which was also great for meeting new people and we had chances to share experiences over lunch and whilst exploring the beautiful and interesting locations we visited. So much learnt, so much to admire - for the price it is so worth the experience, the 12 hour journey passed by and it was a shame to have to end it!

"Interesting and entertaining day tour!"

The tour is a great chance to get to know locations he wouldn´t have seen otherwise. It was touching to visit Salaspils Memorial and to hear the heartbeat. It was nice to see the storks on the roofs of Rundale palace, impressive to count the thousands of crosses in Siauliai, interesting to walk through the streets of Kaunas. The highlight was Trakai castle and the Karaites´ houses and Kibinai! Thank you, Lau for this great day!

"Great informative and fun tour"

The tour is quite intense (12 hours - most of the objectives are not exactly on the main road) and it’s fully worth doing it. Alina is a great guide, who provided lots of interesting facts and useful tips (she also drives very safely). We enjoyed esp. the Trakai area where we returned for a full day experience.

"Jaan the Great"

Jaan created a great experience. At first we did not know what to expect. But after a few minutes we laughed and had fun already in the early morning. Jaan made us enthusiastic about both the Latvian as well as the Estonion history and culture. Jaan served us well and was flexible in accepting our requests. Beer, history and culture: wow!

"Laura steals the show!"

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

"A good Guide makes a great Tour!"

We took the tour from Riga to Vilnius. While we would have preferred a bit more of free time to explore Kaunas and Trakai, Lau, the guide, was so knowledgeable, so entertaining and nice that it was absolutely worth joining the tour! We learnt a lot and enjoyed Lau's sense of humour. Highly recommendable.

"A tour of a lifetime!!"

Definitely worth taking the tour! AlIna took us through the otherwise difficult to reach towns and was very informative!!

"Great tour"

The best way to travel through the Baltics and see more than only the capitals. Alina was a great guide! She told a lot of information and was good fun to spend the day with. In hindsight, we should have done the Tallinn-Riga your as well...

"Riga to Tallin"

Stopped at enough places to make the trip interesting. Lunch at the hunting lodge was delish

"Best way to make the journey!"

Zero hassle way of travelling between two great cities, with stops along the way at locations I would never have found otherwise. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the sights were amazing. Would definitely recommend.

"Interesting way to get between cities"

I really liked that we were able to see multiple cities, but I wish we had more free time to explore (even just 15 to 20 minutes). Everything was a bit too rigid. I really wanted to spend more time in Gauja National Park and in Viljandi. The tour was still good though and if you want to see more cities, it is definitely worth it. I was really thankful that the guide dropped us off at our hotel too!

"Catchy Headline"

This tour is a convenient way to get from one city to the next and learn/see some things along the way - though it does make for a long day. Our guide, Karolis was very knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. He really knows his nature so he was able to give much more insight during the short hiking portion. I enjoyed most aspects of the tour but I could have passed on the military museum. The history is interesting but the entire museum was in Estonian so besides Karolis’ explanation there wasn’t much to engage with. I would have rather used that time to visit another place or even have a short guided walk at our destination. The other locations are quite nice though - especially Viljandi. All in all, I would recommend the tour - just bring snacks and be prepared for a long day!

"Nice trip"

Guide was very friendly and had a lot informatins
