    Thank you for your review. I am sorry you were disappointed with the hotel in Tallinn, this usually rates highly with our customers. As you are free to arrive in Tallinn during the day before the trip starts, there is time to visit Pirita if you choose and a free afternoon the next day. We always try to use locally owned hotels in great locations, to give you the best 'feel' for the place you are visiting and we do state that the hotel on Saaremaa Island is a Simple Hotel. Our itineraries are well thought out, as evidenced by our most recent feedback on this departure from fellow travellers, and we do sometimes make changes to itineraries based on customer feedback, so I have passed your comments on to our Product Manager for the Baltics.

    • Explore!OperatorWritten November 2025

      It comes down to the availability of the hotels, but it is something we can certainly request for you both pre and post. Pricing usually begins at $220 per night, less for a solo room but to get an actual cost we have to have a booking in place.

  • K

    Kathryn

    Asked on May 17th, 2025

    Can you explain why the meeting with tour guide is at a different hotel to the accommodation on the first day This is the same for the last day thanks

    Tour Details
    • Explore!OperatorWritten May 2025

      Generally the welcome meeting with the tour leader is held at the start hotel and the same hotel you stay in for the first night. This tour starts in Tallinn and finishes in Vilnius so the start and finish hotel will be different.
