Join our entertaining trip from Tallinn to Riga through the picturesque towns of Viljandi, Valga, Cēsis, and Sigulda. We’ll bring you to places you would not find on your own and help you discover two countries in one day.

Our knowledgeable local guides take a small group, maximum of 8 people, for a fun filled 12 h road trip from Tallinn to Riga (click here to book this tour the other way – from Riga to Tallinn). You will learn about the history of Estonia and Latvia and its people by visiting several places with our experienced guides. We’ll take you from small towns and medieval castle ruins to quirky local sights and through the beautiful countryside.

Get ready to roam not one but two medieval castles, Viljandi and Cēsis, and discover how they became to be ruined. Learn about the history of Estonia and Latvia in Valga the border town between the two countries. We’ll visit the Gauja National Park where you can hike by the picturesque sand cliffs in Sietiņiezis and take in the sights of the medieval Old Town in Cēsis. Before we reach Riga we’ll stop in Sigulda to climb up the only Bobsleigh Track in the Baltics.

In Valga we also stop for a lunch at a local restaurant. Kindly let our guides know if you have any special dietary needs that we should take in account. Location of the lunch is subject to availability and the meal is not included in the price of the tour.

Rated No. 1 Tours in Tallinn by TripAdvisor

"Great Way to Get to Riga!"

We enjoyed our trip from Tallinn to Riga. The van was comfortable, with 7 passengers. We left Tallinn on time and arrived in Riga about 45 minutes earlier than scheduled. The stops were spread out and our guide, Rita, was conscientious about bathroom stops. She provided great info along the way and was very easy to talk to. The War Museum was closed, and that was a bit of a disappointment but Ruta found an alternative place to visit. Yes, it was a long day, but we were pleased with our decision.

"Exellent"

We had an exellent tour with an exellent guide!! He showed us interesting places and had answer to all our questions! I can recommend this tour.

"Fascinating transfer tour"

What a great way to get between these two cities. Some very interesting stop points and great informative input from the driver/guide. Only negative was that the guide had a soft gentle voice, so when sharing information in the minibus, those in the back row could not hear her. Otherwise highly recommend. Gutted that the trip from Riga to Vilnius was cancelled due to lack of guide.

"Group of Six"

A fantastic way to get to Riga from Tallinn. The van was comfortable and we had frequent stops along the way. Lunch was very nice. Our guide Laura was very enthusiastic and we had a great time learning about the history of the Baltic nations. Would recommend this trip to everyone.

"Exellent"

The guide took us to interesting places. He could answer any questitions we had during the hole Journey. He was brilliant!

"Imprescindible"

Buena forma de aprovechar el viaje entre las ciudades. Solo un hándicap, en el mismo tiempo se puede realizar la visita a los castillos de Sigulda o Turaida en lugar de la visita al estadiun de carreras. salvo eso que mejoraría mucho el tour, perfecto. El guia entregado y servicial

Meeting Point

The tour starts in front of Tallinn Tourist Info Center (Niguliste street 2) on the corner of Harju and Niguliste street. Our guide will meet you at the marked meeting point.
