Cycling in the Baltics - Vilnius to Tallinn Tour Reviews — 1 to 10 of 10

We just finished the Baltics bike tour and it was fantastic! We signed up at kinda the last minute but the Tripsite staff was responsive and fast. The local company was awesome. Every detail was planned and executed flawlessly. We had a big group (13 guided and about the same unguided, who shared the bus and stayed at same hotel) and there were no hotel issues, check-in always went fast, rooms were always as booked, start times and meeting times were always well communicated The guide Lina was absolutely the best we’ve had on a bike tour. She was able to control a large diverse crowd with ease, always a positive attitude, and full of local history and personal stories she shared with us. She made what was an excellent tour into and absolutely outstanding tour. The driver/bike mechanic Rolandus was also full of positive energy and hard-working. There was nothing negative from start to finish, even the weather cooperated.

This was a great guided bike trip through some lovely parts of the Baltic countries and an opportunity to learn about the complicated history of the region. Although there were transfers on a motor coach most days (which allowed us to see so many different areas), there was still plenty of biking and sightseeing each day. The route was almost completely flat, with only a few short hills to navigate. The pre-booked dinners were at the hotels and had fixed menus: the upside was that it was so simple after a day of biking, but the downside there wasn't the opportunity to check out local restaurants. We particularly enjoyed the city tours in Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn and the biking on the Estonian island of Saaremaa.

Great way to see these three countries. The tour visits the top five areas of each country. Top experience was renting the private hot tub and sauna at the Johanan spa in Kassamerre for a Caviar and vodka star party other memorable spots were the hill of crosses, the Corean spit , The carvings of Mythic creatures at the witches Hill, writing through the forest from Riga to Palanga, and the smoked fish from local vendors. We were on the self-guided semi supported trip and enjoyed the close cooperation with the guided tour. We always felt that someone was available to help. Since we were a smaller group, we were able to adjust the times and destinations to fit our specific needs. The drivers were very supportive and communicated well with WhatsApp. We had unseasonably warm and dry weather for so late in the season, having only, four hours of rain over 13 days. Some venues were closed, but we enjoyed having no crowds. Best to load the bike app they suggest as the drop off and pick up points were spot on. Overall would do again.

The trip was wonderful. It was great to visit the 3 unique Baltic countries, they are each beautiful and welcoming, The cycling was terrific, on wonderful quiet roads through scenic fields, forests and towns. There is quite a bit of of time spent in the van traveling from one location to another, but that makes it possible to see and cycle some of the very special, but far-flung locations such as the Curonian Spit, a real highlight. Plus, our group and our leader were great, so it was all enjoyable.

The service provided by the tour operator was excellent! Our guide, Mende, and our driver, Aleks, were very attentive to our needs and requests. Mende, in particular, is very well-versed in the history and culture of all three Baltic states. Every question we had was answered and every problem we had was successfully addressed. This trip is definitely worth considering for your next holiday!

The trip leader was excellent. Enjoyed the routes we took everyday. Interesting scenery in the town/villages we visited. . What was most disappointing were the group dinners no choices. Some of the hotels could have been more centrally located for free time sightseeing. Overall it was good value for the cost of the trip.

Riding in the villages. The tour we had of each of the main cities. Small size of our group.

If you speak English be certain to book an English speaking tour otherwise you’ll miss a lot of interesting information.

Goodness what a win! From start to finish it was great fun - the reasons we got lost were all due to over awe at our surroundings - maps and trip info were spot on from Baltics Tour guides. We were super lucky- the self guided bus was full, however Tripsite found space for our little gaggle of girls with the guided folks and what a super win that was! We had the best of everything - time to chat to everyone doing the same route on a large bus, meeting new, fun and interesting people, to being able to ride when and how we wanted (and to add on those 'get lost' extra miles), to having the added advantage of superb knowledgeable guides from the guided bus tour, it was all in all and exceptional trip! Although next time I may just opt for the e-bike option so that my panting doesn't hold me back from taking sturdy photos of wonderful scenery!
Thanks guys-loved it and will be back to check out the next cycle destination - it's very highly recommended!

Beautiful countryside, and charming small towns with history everywhere.
Critical to download the GPS app for the ride! There are too many turns on poorly marked roads. GPS is a must. The company did a great job (Kate) helping us load the app properly.
