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

"Discover the country while traveling from a town to the other"

We really had a great time! If you need to transfer between Tallinn and Riga and you have a little extra time and want to discover a bit more of the country, it's the way to go! Our guide, Ruta, is very knowledgeable of the area and you can learn a lot from her.

"Exceptional Guide"

The guide ( Mattis) pick us up at the hotel, the drive to Riga was very informative. During the drive, we stopped at various locations, and the guide provided excellent historical information. We stopped for lunch along the way. We were dropped off again at the hotel. We truly enjoyed the scenery and the conversation with Mattis.

"Amazing way to get from Tallinn to Riga"

Our guide Ruta was fantastic so full of stories and information and really made the journey interesting. If I’m around I wouldn’t hesitate to take this trip again it was amazing I will never forget this day.

"Exciting and beautiful landscape"

The weather was sunny and pleasant that allowed a tour most about nature. Our guide Ruta has a lot of knowledge about the region. I strongly suggest do this tour with this company.

"Great tour from Tallin to Riga"

I really enjoyed the tour from Tallin to Riga because you stop at places you otherwise wouldn’t get to see so easily, like Viljandi, Cesis and Sigulda. Ruta has been not only a fantastic guide, but also a safe driver!

"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.

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.
