Reviews of Small Group tours to Baltic
- Small Group 11 Days Baltic Highlights Loop (Guaranteed Departure)
Well prepared, transportation always on time, multilingual tour guide provided lots of interesting facts on countries and their history.
- Discover the Baltics
Thoroughly enjoyable tour. Our guide Migle was fantastic and her knowledge of the 3 Baltic countries was first class. I would recommend this tour as we did a lot more than just visit the 3 main capital cities
- Historic Baltic Republics
I really enjoyed experiencing the Baltics, especially our guide Ona's insights and stories. We were fortunate not only to have mostly excellent weather but also to be in Riga for its annual birthday party, with a variety of musicians and activities everywhere, plus in Vilnius for its 35th celebration of the Baltic Way. Other highlights included Tallinn, the Rundale Palace, and Curonian Spit National Park, although Kaunas seemed kind of like a "filler" stop. The hotels were mostly good, although the Stadium beds were small and uncomfortable, and the buses were large enough for each of us to have an entire row. The only real issue I had was with the included taxi to the Vilnius airport, which was very stressful because the driver didn't speak any English and demanded payment, even after I insisted he call my guide. But otherwise, the tour was well-organized and I look forward to more Explore! tours in the future.
What our customers ask about Baltic Small Group Tours
How does accommodation differ on small group tours versus large group tours in the Baltics?
Small group tours in the Baltics offer access to distinctive local properties that larger tours simply can't use. These include family-run hotels like the 80-room Comfort Hotel in Vilnius and the 32-room Old Mill Hotel in Klaipeda. The accommodations tend to be centrally located in historic districts allowing easier access to main attractions. Small groups often stay at places like Hotel Wesenbergh near Lahemaa National Park where guests can experience authentic Baltic hospitality. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The intimate hotels really enhanced our experience - we stayed at charming properties like the Islande Hotel in Riga with amazing views of the Old Town something impossible with larger groups."
What type of local experiences are available on Baltic small group tours?
With groups of 6-16 people travelers can join cooking classes in Lahemaa National Park see local artisans at work in amber workshops in Vilnius and participate in beer tastings at Klaipeda's historic Svyturys brewery. The smaller size allows groups to explore local markets like Riga's Central Market and enjoy home-cooked meals with families in places like Rusne village. One TourRadar traveler notes: "Our small group size meant we could have dinner with a local family in their home near Rusne Island and get a truly authentic experience of Lithuanian hospitality."
