Join our entertaining trip from Tallinn to Riga through the picturesque towns of Viljandi, 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 11 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.

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.

"Excellent tour and transport"

Traveller Tours from Tallinn to Riga was an excellent way to get from Estonia to Latvia. We had Matiss as our guide, and he was so friendly and informative. He answered our many questions, and we all learned so much and saw so much more of Estonia and Latvia, than if we’d just taken the nonstop train or bus. He sent us lists of things to do and places to eat in Riga as well. Highly recommend!

"Great day"

I chose this tour because the locations we visited were interesting. But that wasn't all; the guide was also very knowledgeable. This made our trip even more enjoyable. He shared a lot of information about the nature and local culture. The restaurant where we had lunch was also interesting, in terms of both its location and the menu. At the end of the tour, he introduced us to chocolate and typical drinks from Riga. He also helped us take photos. This really rounded off our holiday perfectly. Matiss was helpful; when I had a problem with another tour, he responded quickly and helped me right away.

"Travel, see, learn, explore, get to know fellow travellers and arrive safely and happily at your destination "

Our guide was so lovely, excellent English, lovely welcome and information about the tour before we left. Considerate of all travellers needs, so comfortable answering any questions. Very knowledgeable about the locations we visited and informative about cultural history, folklore etc. Felt safe while travelling and the time spent at each location including lunch was just right.

"Matiss went above and beyond!"

Matiss was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He shared tips about places to visit and places that were popular with locals, and we hit a few of them and they were all great. Lunch stop was great, too, and good value. I would highly recommend this tour as an alternative to taking the regular bus.

"Whacky Race To Riga"

Great choice to travel from Tallin to Riga with Traveller , so glad we did it this way. Our guide was Kullo and he was absolutely brilliant. He was informative about the culture of Estonia, VERY funny and sensitive and patient to our queries. We liked how occasionally he would tell us the history of Estonia through his ancestors, this was touching and clarified situations for us. We visited historical towns with castles, the National Bobsleigh Centre and for me the highlight was a mesmerising walk through a forest in the National Park. Truly beautiful and unforgettable. For refreshments Kullo took us to the best quality garage and service area ever and then a Brewery with a hot buffet. He was very happy to discuss my many questions on Estonian food and farming! The trip was worth every penny, I cant recommend it enough.Thank you.

"Great option if you're not driving"

A great transit choice from Tallinn to Riga, though the sightseeing felt somewhat superficial. The friendly guide added extra points to the overall experience.

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.
