Hello Daina,

Thank you for organising such a wonderful holiday! We enjoyed our trip very much and all of the guides were great.

Lithuania- someone whose name translated as “Dawn”, Edina from Latvia and Elena from Tallinn as well as Olafs were all so friendly and welcoming and the pace was great.

It was so kind of you to arrange a birthday bottle of fizz but we don’t drink alcohol hardly at all so we left it and I told the hotel not to charge you!

The only slight hiccup was after a long day of travelling when we were dropped at the wrong hotel in Riga and then had to walk in the heat to find the correct hotel. Turns out there are three hotels with similar names and we were dropped at the wrong one.

The weather was generally very kind and we all had comfortable beds and ate extremely well, often trying cafes and restaurants recommended by guides and sometimes looking to see where the locals ate and following them in. The sights were really interesting and the guides took us to places not readily available in tourist books so we got the best of both as we could catch a tram or visit other places in the afternoons. We can thoroughly recommend this trip.

Kind regards

Sue

Transportation

Railway mostly serves domestic routes and is used as an easy and quick way to get from the capital to major cities of the country. There are some international routes, like to Moscow and St. Petersburg, but time spent on the way will be quite long.

Buses are one of the most convenient ways to travel between the Baltic States. Eurolines will get you between Riga, Vilnius and Tallinn. One way tickets will cost £ 15 - £ 20 and approximate travel time is 5 hours between the cities. Ticket reservations in advance are recommended.

Taxis are the quickest and most convenient way of travelling round the city. You'll find them located close to the main hotels. Usually it's quite easy to catch a taxi on the street, however, it's much better and safer to order one by phone. Taxi costs in all of the Baltic countries and Poland are approximately the same and a ride in the centre of the city will cost you approx £ 5 - £ 7.  Taxis in Finland and Russia are considerably more expensive.  It is always a good idea to get your hotel to book a taxi for you and ask approximately how much the trip will cost before you get in.

We would not recommend you to take public transportation within the city, as it's usually crowded and it may cause you unnecessary anxiety about where to stop.
