    · January 16th, 2024
    I had a wonderful trip visiting all 3 Baltic States. Alex the overall tour guide was friendly, easy to talk to and work with. He was very knowledgeable on the history and cultures of the 3 Baltic countries. The hotels that where picked where very nice and well taken care of. And the country and site specific guides where very nice and knowledge.
