"Great way to travel from Riga to Tallinn"
I had a wonderful time on the tour from Riga to Tallinn! The itinerary was thoughtfully designed, with memorable stops at the bobsleigh track in Sigulda and the charming town of Viljandi. Walking along the bobsleigh track was fascinating, as it offered a unique chance to learn about the sport and its history. Viljandi’s picturesque streets and warm atmosphere were equally captivating, and trying the village swing was such a fun highlight! The tour was well-organized, the guide, Johanna, was engaging and shared many of her own perspectives as an Estonian, The stops made the journey between Riga and Tallinn truly special. Highly recommend this tour for a perfect blend of culture and unique experiences!
"Best way to travel through the Baltic Countries "
I am so glad I made the decision of taking this transfer. Johanna is an amazing guide, the sight seeing is fantastic and I was able to acquire a deeper knowledge of Estonia and Latvia throughout the day
"Fantastic Tour to Lahemaa with Traveller "
The day trip was informative & enjoyable, Johanna is a wonderful guide & provided us with excellent information & details about the area. Wish we had booked more trips through Traveller during our time in the Baltics!
"A special day"
We enjoyed the tour and Johanna was an excellent guide.
"what a wonderful day !"
Despite the very rainy weather, we were able to enjoy all 4 sites. Everything was perfect thanks to Johanna, our guide. It is hard to choose, but the hike in the peat bog was magical. In short, don't hesitate to do it.
"Great trip!"
Fantastic tour, very friendly and insightful guide!
"Fantastic day touring and learning from a great guide."
We had a great, fun day with Johanna touring through the wonderful Latvia and Estonia. Her knowledge and passion for this region, and willingness to share her experiences and reflections made this such a worthwhile and enjoyable experience for us. Highly recommended.
"Great way to travel "
So fun! My sons (18 and 21) and I traveled with the tour. Our guide was from the region and added a great personalization to the tour and the stops. The day flew by with interesting places to see that we would have missed driving ourselves. Take a raincoat and wear comfortable shoes -- you'll have a great time.
"Lovely day!"
Highly recommend… the tour was a great way to explore Northern Estonia a bit, and our guide Johanna was knowledgeable, funny, and skilled. Super interesting and fun. Lunch at the pub was amazing.
"Great day at Lahemaa!"
Had a fantastic time on a five-person Lahemaa day trip last week! Johanna was our guide and she was absolutely incredible. She has a lifelong connection with Lahemaa and a deep knowledge of the place. We had great group conversations and a lot of laughs, but Johanna also made sure to spend time with everyone individually. We did some great hikes through beautiful forests (including the otherworldly Viru Bog!), saw picturesque fishing villages, had free time to explore Sagadi Manor, and had a classic Estonian lunch at the very atmospheric Altja Korts. Johanna was also my guide the following day on the Tallinn to Riga tour, and that too was incredible!! Highly, highly recommend!
"Definitely worth it!"
Had a fantastic small group trip, four of us plus Johanna, and she shared a lot of history and anecdotes about the places we visited. We stopped at Jagala water fall, both fishing villages, the national park for a hike, and the Viru bog. She knew a lot about forging as well, and we tried a couple of things on the walk. The fog was the group favorite. I think, it was just so otherworldly! I’d definitely recommend a trip with the company, and especially Johanna!
"Relaxed and stylish travels with a phenomenal guide"
Pick-up in Riga was on time, Johanna welcomed us to the tour and fortunately she was such an easy-going guide - we chatted 10 hours non-stop and got on well from the word go.
The bus was comfortable and clean, Johanna a careful driver and a very knowledgeable guide, answering all our questions.
The stops along the way were worthwhile, from the bob-sledge track in Sigulda, Cesis with its medieval character and a nice walk in the Gauja National Park - all amazing. The stop in Vijandi was equally interesting as was the stop at a local brewery for lunch.
Arrival was exactly on time as planned
All in all, excellent tour with an excellent guide - wish there was more of them :).
Well done Traveller Tours, we"ll use you again if in the vicinity.
"The most "NARVA-lous" tour ever!"
Cloudy skies and drizzly rain could not dampen our enthusiasm for our tour of Estonia: Narva, Sillamae and the Ghost City! Johanna's knowledge and personality overflowed as she drove the Renault van two hours to Narva and back. She explained the why and when of each location (including military history) of the Hermann Castle and the Ghost City, plus the many “faces” of Simmalie throughout its history. She opened its museum just for us! Her fluency in Russian, Estonian and English were impeccable!

"nice tour to Lahemaa park and wonderful guide"
We really enjoyed the trip, there were only two of us plus the guide Johanna. She was very nice, friendly and helpful. thanks for the beautiful day!
"Great Tour with a Fantastic Guide"
If you want to get a feel for Estonia outside of Tallinn this is a must do tour. We had a fantastic guide (Johanna) who lives on the edge of the national park. Her knowledge of the area made it that more special. The meeting point for the tour being the Tourist Information Office made meeting up easy and staying in the old town it is a very short walk for us. There were only 4 on the tour so it was very personable. Now the tour, the scenery was great, the waterfall followed by the walk through the bog on a lovey cool but sunny day was fantastic. Whilst the walk through the bog was about 3km it was a very easy stroll along the boardwalk. The boardwalk is not suitable for those who require disability aids as it is a narrow structure. After a nice simple lunch in a local tavern it was on to a superbly renovated mansion with beautiful gardens surrounding it. Unfortunately the inside of the mansion was closed for refurbishment but that was not a disappointing. After the mansion it on to a small fishing village with a nice walk through the forest to the beach. Walking along the beach brought us back to the start. Keep you eye out for local wildlife on the route. We were presented with the sighting of a fox.
"10/10 tour with our amazing guide Johanna"
We had a great time on this day tour through Lahemaa National Park. Our guide Johanna was such a pleasant person and we immediately felt very comfortable on this tour. Not only did we learn a lot about the history of the park itself, but also got insights on Estonian culture and everyday life thanks to Johanna, who is a local of Lahemaa and was super knowledgeable. The timing and amount of stops was very well balanced and it never got boring. We can highly recommend this experience!
