Hi Julija
Thank you for your email.
Marilyn and I had an awesome time in the Baltics and Copenhagen, Denmark.
The history is unbelievable, the buildings are beautiful, the people just amazing, very friendly and oh! very strong, when we heard their lives explained.
The guide was just so good and very informative, friendly and interesting with all the little facts. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have had such a tremendously difficult history, which I knew nothing about ...
Estonia invented marzipan for depression.......how good is that! I love marzipan(especially chocolate covered).
Estonia invented Skype......Wow......
I want to thank you for all the planning, the emails, making sure everything was correctly done, you did a superb job, everything went smoothly.
We had one big problem, you asked for double/twin room, so when we arrived we had a double bed with twin mattresses! Not good.......we were moved to other rooms....which was not what we anticipated doing.
Few comments; which we took as an adventure so didn’t spoil our trip.
Ryanair was a joke of an airline.. Disorganised chaos, the Priority probably saved our sanity....
The best hotel was by far THE GRAND POET, absolutely one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. ( I was in Zanzibar last year and thought that hotel was awesome).
We had champagne for breakfast, the food, service and well being of the guests was paramount and they are just awesome at what they do.
In Copenhagen, The Admiralty Hotel...well what a location, the hotel was so quirky, we loved every minute of it, they upgraded our room because of bed mix up and we overlooked the Opera House, (designed by same Architect as Sydney Opera House, but certainly not as aesthetically good as Sydney, I attach photo from our twin room), the service, food and of course location was superb.
In Lithuania, unfortunately hotel was not as 5 star as the other 2, service was acceptable, no one to bring bags inside on arrival, staff certainly not as friendly, food was good.
Tallinn Radisson was really good, service, food and helpfulness, enjoyed staying there.
Our transfers were excellent and on time, although arriving in Lithuania and taken to hotel, he unloaded our bags in the street and went, and of course as it was late arrival, no one from hotel came out.....
We thoroughly enjoyed the Baltics and now we will keep a look out for all news from there, we hope their future is free and the economy excellent, we of course, will tell everyone they must go.
I’ve been to most countries now, but there was something special about this trip, I certainly learned a lot of sad but people power history and it’s unbelievable towns, cities, churches, cathedrals.....
This experience would now have been possible, if the planning had not been so good...and that comes down to you....so Thank you.
