What people love about Baltic Tours
We loved the whole itinerary except for the long Vilnius to Warsaw bus ride. No other way it seems ..at this point.
Baltic Experience (from Helsinki to Vilnius)
- Discover the Baltics
Disappointing first hotel. The tour did not make arrangements to have our luggage picked up outside of the room which was expected (I can't remember a tour that has not had this benefit). Most of the local guides were boring and had difficulty with the English language.
- Historic Baltic Republics
A well organised, well paced and very informative tour with an excellent tour leader and local guides.
Travel Baltic your way
Go outside your comfort zone on a Baltic adventure tour. With 17 travel packages full of bucket list experiences and outdoor activities and lasting anywhere from 7 days up to 13 days, you're sure to find an unforgettable Middle East adventure for you!
See the Baltics from two wheels on our 9-11 day cycling routes that blend cultural sites with natural wonders. The cycling paths take you through Gauja National Park, along Jurmala's white sand coast and across the massive dunes of the Curonian Spit. You'll cover about 25-40 kilometers daily on mostly flat ground - perfect for regular cyclists who enjoy riding but aren't looking for extreme challenges. Our customers consistently mention the quality of the rental bikes and how well thought-out the routes are, showing both city life and countryside views.
See all Bicycle toursCoach tours give you excellent coverage of the Baltic region over 8-9 days, typically running from Helsinki down to Vilnius or vice versa. You'll explore all three Baltic capitals with expert guides, visit powerful places like the Salaspils Memorial from Soviet times and discover hidden gems like Kuldīga, home to Europe's widest waterfall. Our travelers often mention how much they enjoy mixing city exploration with peaceful stops in places like the Masurian Lake District. The coaches are well equipped for longer journeys and the frequent interesting stops make travel days quite enjoyable.
See all Coach / Bus toursThe best way to really get under the skin of the Baltic States runs 12-13 days, taking you from Tallinn's spires all the way to Warsaw or Krakow. Our customers keep telling us how much they love exploring the island-based Trakai Castle and wandering through the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania. You'll get hands-on with local culture through Estonian cider tasting at Jaanihanso, cooking classes in Riga's markets and boat trips along historic waterways. The hotels are mainly premium spots in converted historic buildings, and travelers appreciate how the schedule mixes guided tours with plenty of free time to explore those UNESCO old towns at their own pace.

Best tour companies for Baltic tours
Looking at these three companies, each brings something distinct to European travel. Europamundo has built a solid reputation among our travelers for getting the balance right - their tours give you enough structure to see everything important but also leave room to explore on your own. The hotels they use are reliably good and their guides really know their stuff. Expat Explore's guides, especially Luke Watson, get a lot of praise from past travelers for their enthusiasm and deep knowledge. The only consistent note from customers is that some days can feel a bit packed with activities - though many say that's exactly what they wanted to fit everything in. For travelers wanting to be more active, Baltic Bike Travel offers something different. Their cycling routes through Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are thoughtfully planned, and guides like Mindaugas add real depth by sharing local history and cultural insights along the way. The pace of cycling lets you actually absorb the countryside and small towns you're passing through. Each company serves different travel styles - from Europamundo's balanced approach to Expat Explore's comprehensive coverage and Baltic Bike Travel's pedal-powered journeys. The key is matching your preferred travel style with the right operator.
Discover Baltic tours for every budget
Baltic budget travelers get great value from our 8-day tours through Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn. You'll stay in well-located 3-star hotels right in the medieval centers, with local guides showing you around each city. Our customers really like visiting Lithuania's Hill of Crosses and Latvia's ornate Rundale Palace. For a bit more time, the 10-day option adds Helsinki with a lovely ferry ride across. We keep costs sensible by including the must-see sights, traditional dinners in medieval restaurants and market visits, while making some extra activities optional.
The premium Baltic experience comes alive in our 14-day tours, where you'll stay at Radisson Blu properties across the capital cities. We've added special touches like private beer tastings at Cesvaine brewery, dinners in historic manors and quiet time at the Mark Rothko Art Centre in Daugavpils. Our travelers particularly enjoy the noble estates - Palmse Manor and Sagadi Manor in Estonia tell amazing stories. You'll explore UNESCO sites with expert guides, visit Tallinn's KUMU art museum and still have plenty of time to wander on your own.

Our guides can adjust the day based on what interests the group, and travelers tell us they really value that flexibility.

Top Baltic travel itineraries to fit your plans
Week-long Baltic routes offer a fantastic way to connect the capitals, with the classic path taking you from Tallinn through Latvia and down to Vilnius. You'll walk through medieval quarters and UNESCO sites with knowledgeable local guides, while some travelers prefer our self-guided options that include smooth city-to-city transfers but let you set your own daily pace. Many of our customers say they love having time to wander through spots like Riga's Art Nouveau district at their own speed. Some tours add a day trip to Helsinki by ferry which works really well with the Baltic experience. You'll stay in 4-star Radisson Blu hotels right near the old towns - the central locations and big breakfast spreads get lots of positive mentions in feedback.
Ten days in the Baltics gives you time to really get to know the region. Starting either from Helsinki/Tallinn southbound or Warsaw heading north, these trips mix capital cities with some real gems like the Masurian Lake District and the Mark Rothko Art Centre. Our travelers tell us they love discovering smaller places like Toruń, where you can join traditional gingerbread making workshops and explore medieval streets. The Curonian Spit is another highlight - you can climb the massive dunes and visit Thomas Mann's summer house. The local guides get constant praise for making Soviet and medieval history come alive with personal stories and interesting details.
Two weeks lets you dive deep into Baltic culture with routes that take you beyond the usual spots. You'll explore Tartu, Estonia's historic university city, and also wander through Lahemaa National Park with its elegant manor houses. The pace works perfectly - usually two nights in major cities plus unique experiences like ceramic workshops in Latgale and private tastings at Cesvaine brewery. Many travelers tell us they particularly enjoy staying in historic properties like Grasi Manor and taking time at the Mark Rothko Art Centre. The Curonian Spit becomes even more special with enough time to explore the quirky Hill of Witches and endless dunes. There's plenty of flexibility for extras like catching an organ concert at Riga's Dome Cathedral.
Demographics
Our Baltic Experience tours really click with solo travelers - the small groups of 4-12 people create a friendly vibe while leaving room to explore independently. You'll stay in traditional villages like Ginuciai where local families share their homes and kitchens, letting you jump into cooking sessions and browse the markets. The mix works well: join the group for kayaking through Lithuania's lakes or wandering the massive dunes of the Curonian Spit, then take time to yourself exploring Tallinn's medieval corners or discovering Riga's Art Nouveau streets at your own rhythm.
For couples, our premium Baltic tours include stays at Radisson Blu hotels across the capitals with extra touches that make the trip special. Take a boat out to Trakai Castle, enjoy dinner in centuries-old cellars by candlelight and walk through the flowers of Kadriorg Park. The schedule flows nicely - explore the Hill of Crosses with the group, then spend your evenings finding cozy restaurants or catching concerts at Riga's Dome Cathedral. The overnight at Pakruojis Manor is a highlight, with its craft beer tasting and the relaxed stops in coastal towns like Parnu adding variety to the journey.
Young adults love our active Baltic tours that keep moving with a mix of culture and outdoor activities. You'll cycle through Gauja National Park, paddle Lithuanian lakes and hike forest paths to old pagan sites. The cities offer UNESCO old towns, local breweries and current food scenes worth exploring. We include key spots like the KGB Museum in Vilnius but leave time to discover each city's modern side, nightlife and artistic quarters. Our travelers often mention how much they enjoy seeing medieval buildings right next to buzzing contemporary neighborhoods.
Our comprehensive Baltic tours work particularly well for senior travelers, using comfortable coaches and carefully planned stops. You'll spend two or three nights in each capital, staying at centrally located hotels that make exploring easy. Local experts bring places like Rundale Palace and Vilnius University to life, and there's always the option to visit extra sites like Wieliczka Salt Mine. The balance feels right - included lunches at local restaurants plus free time to visit markets or museums at your own pace. Our senior guests really appreciate how the tour combines city landmarks with peaceful countryside visits.

Fall brings golden forests and nice temperatures for exploring. The 8-day capitals tour includes drives through Latvia's countryside when the trees show their autumn colors.

You get harvest festivals and traditional foods on the 13-day Polish-Baltic combination, plus some great photo opportunities along the coastal road to Parnu.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter in the Baltics really comes alive with festive markets and snow-covered medieval streets. The 8-day capital cities tour takes you to Riga's original Christmas tree location - a special spot where locals first started decorating trees back in the 16th century. Our travelers often mention how much they love the candlelit monastery visits in Tallinn and learning to paint their own marzipan figures in local cafes. Some tours include traditional Christmas Eve dinners in historic cellars and Boxing Day walks through Tallinn's snow-dusted Old Town.

- Spring 2026
Spring hits a sweet spot for Baltic travel with mild weather and smaller crowds. The 13-day route covering Poland and the Baltics lines up perfectly with Krakow's Easter markets and first flowers blooming in Lazienki Park. Our 8-day capital cities focus works really well this time of year - you can mix indoor time at Riga's art museums with walks along Tallinn's medieval walls. Many travelers go for the 10-day option with Helsinki since spring gives you clear views on the Gulf of Finland ferry crossing. The Gauja National Park visits are extra nice in spring when wildflowers carpet the forest floor.

- Summer 2026
Summer tours take full advantage of those long Nordic days and local festivals. The 12-day full route includes swimming at Tallinn's Pirita beach and cycling through pine forests on the Curonian Spit right by the Baltic Sea.

The 10-day capitals route includes time at outdoor cafes in medieval squares and optional trips to Jurmala's white sand beaches. Some tours add kayaking through Aukstaitija National Park's lakes and visits to local farmsteads where families often welcome you with a traditional sauna experience.
