"Unforgettable Riga to Tallinn Van Trip!"
We couldn't have asked for a better way to travel between Riga and Tallinn. Our guide, Daumants, made the entire experience truly special. His enthusiasm was contagious — you could tell he genuinely enjoyed every single stop along the way, and that energy made the whole trip so much more memorable.
Daumants' knowledge really stood out. At each stop, he took the time to explain the history and significance of what we were seeing in a way that was engaging and easy to follow, never rushed. It felt less like a standard tour and more like exploring with a well-informed friend who was excited to share it all with us.
The pacing of the trip was great, and the van itself was comfortable for the journey. Between Daumants' storytelling and the beautiful scenery along the Baltic route, the hours flew by.
If you're looking for a way to travel between Riga and Tallinn that's more than just point A to point B, I highly recommend this experience — and be sure to ask for Daumants as your guide if you can!
"A day packed with great sights and history"
Daumante is a great guide. He is attentive and knowledgeable. The route is interesting and beautiful. Get a glimpse of the countryside of both Latvia and Estonia.
"Amazing experience! "
Our guide was amazing! We learnt so much about the countries we were visiting and had a lot of fun.
"Excellent tour"
All of us, 16 people in two vans, enjoyed the tour, especially for the additional information we got from our guide.
Unfortunately the van had a technical problem and traveled at quite low speed.
Daumants is a very good guide and driver.
"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.
"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.
"Easy going and stress free!"
This tour enabled us to visit places we otherwise couldn't. The guide adjusted the plans for us with the limited sunlight. The lunch stop was great, easy going and stress free trip!
"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.
"Nice snowy towns along the route from Tallinn to Riga"
We took a private tour for 4 ladies to travel from Tallinn to Riga. It was very convenience to carry our 4 big luggages and 4 carry on bags door-to-door from our airbnb in Tallinn to airbnb in Riga. We stop at 3 towns with beautiful snow everywhere in Viljandi, Valga & Valka, Cesis. The guide and driver is friendly and did his best to give us information about each place and help us took photos. The cost for 4 persons is €362.
"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!
"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.
"Perfect way to get between cities "
Our guide, Daumants, was friendly, hugely knowledgeable and really a great guide in both Lithuania and Latvia. Would thoroughly recommend as a way to get between Vilnius and Riga, as you get to see so much you otherwise wouldn't.
"Great experience, nice way to travel Riga-Tallin"
The whole trip seems short visiting the small towns and medieval castles, nice trecking and lunch stop with a very motivated and cheerful guide.
"Great Tour"
A really great way to get from Vilnius to Riga and see some cool places along the way!
"Baltic flavour"
This was a wonderful tour, it gives a peak in to baltic countries of Lithuania and Latvia. Tour started on time and guide was very polite enthusiastic. Time given at all locations was sufficient. Restaurant selected for lunch was very good. Drive was pleasant and our group enjoyed this trip.
"Marvelous"
Very memorable and informationfull experience.
"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.
"Exclusive tour of Vilnius to Riga"
A group of 8 men and women from different parts of the world have come together to soak in the beauty of Lithuania and Latvia with clear narrative from our guide Doumants.
If not for the rain we would have ran riot at each destianation most especially at the Hill of Crosses.
We were all at awe of these beautiful places we would have not seen if not for Traveller Tours.
Keep up the good work!
"excellent"
a convenient way to move from Riga to Vilniaus with fun and rich places.
"The tour is 👍 great"
Thanks for your detailed introduction of all sights, we enjoyed our trip very much. We are all independent countries!
"More interesting than just going by bus"
Pleasant trip with good guide though stops were not massively interesting. A flavour however of the countries and I enjoyed seeing the bobsled track.
"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 Tour with a Great Tourguide!"
Daumants was great!! Super knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and energetic. I would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone who wants to dive farther into the Baltic experience than “just” visiting the capitals.
"An Excellent Sightseeing Tour from Tallinn to Riga"
Our tour guide, Daumants, was very professional, and knowledgeable. We learned a lot of historical information about the five sights and their significance in the Estonia and Latvia history. Thank you! We will highly recommend this tour to friends if they come to visit the Baltic states.
"See the country!"
Overall my friend and I enjoyed this tour as a way to see more than just the capital cities. We really liked stopping in Viljandi and the castle ruins there. We did not enjoy the prolonged stop at the Estonian war museum- all in Estonian without English- while waiting for our lunch (not ordered ahead of time, so no tables available). We didn't eat lunch until around 2:30/3pm so bring snacks....! We really enjoyed the stop at Gaujas national park in Latvia despite the downpour during our brief hike. We enjoyed the stop in Cesis including some time for a drink- we should've gotten a snack as well. We also stopped at a bobsled run before finally reaching Riga- it offered beautiful views but could've been skipped to reach Riga before 9:45pm.
"Caught in the rain, still loved it"
The guide picks you up from the center of Tallinn and drops you back in the center of Riga.. telling you incredible stories of his grandfather in the second world war as he walks you through museum tours and the country side hike.
Fabulous time.
"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.
"Great tour"
Great tour, knowledgeable, nice guide, good lunch, absolutly loved the national park with the sandy cliffs :)
"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.
"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.
"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.
"The wheels on the bus go round & round,but no bob sleigh!"
Good tour but we got a new tour driver/guide, with a lack of confidence.It was his first tour. If it wasn't for a fellow traveller who filled in the history points,this might have been boring.
The stop for a meal was exceptional. Very good quality, 5 star meal at a reasonable price.
Loved the places we visited,but very disappointed as we booked due to the bobsleigh ride. We were not the only disappointed travellers. They only run at the weekend,please be aware.
Will recommend to others,would do it again as it bets a 4 1/2 hour boring bus journey.
