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.
- Baltic Experience
Throughly enjoyed this trip.
- Discover the Baltics
This was an excellent tour. Our guide Andrius was superb. His knowledge of the history of these countries from the 13 century to now is impressive. He lived through “ Soviet times” and as we toured the occupation and liberation museums and physically see the proximity of these countries to Russia and hear of their history of occupation and horror, no wonder they are so fervently supportive of Ukraine in the current war with Russia. Putin is a monster! Andrius suggested excellent restaurants to give us the opportunity to try delicious local foods and drinks. We could attend as a group or branch out on our own. He was funny, caring and professional. I was very impressed with Exodus and the itinerary. All the hotels were very nice and in excellent locations with superb breakfasts. The buses we travelled in were modern and comfortable and we were fortunate to be with a great group of fellow travellers. There was a nice balance of guided tours and opportunities to explore on your own. I would definitely book with Exodus again.
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."
