Edvard was an excellent guide, caring, knowledgeable, willing to share information and great that he was from one of the countries we visited. The accommodations were clean and quiet and there was always hot water with excellent water pressure in the showers.

I enjoyed the tour, loved exploring Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland

The itinerary was good and the inclusions good for the price. The accommodation was mostly good however, Riga was not. I was such a low point of the tour. I don't mind basis hotels. However, this hotel was unclean and falling apart and not safe for customers. This was my second G trip and it was also disappointing to have yet another guide who has never been on this tour or is not a local for any of the countries visited.

I paid almost $1,000 extra for single supplement and so many of the rooms were well below the standard I expected. Apart from 2 hotel rooms, the allocated rooms were small, faced brick walls, and had very few ',comforts', Also the hotel in Riga was a huge disappointment. Having walked on a dirty carpet at the entrance, we were faced with difficult stairs to negotiate our cases etc. I was lucky to have had the support of some of the tour group.

it's a great way to travel, but when you have time and Nerves to Plan it than you could do it cheaper yourself. But if don't have time and no own car is it a great option

Because everyone's needs and expectations are different

This has been my 6th G trip. It was up to the standard I have come to expect but it was not perfect and small improvements could easily be made.

Small group, responsive to interests, just right.
09/15/2023
There was much of interest in the tour, but I could not give a 10 because I feel that two days of the itinerary were wasted on a minor attraction (the Estonian island). Though enjoyable, the entire group felt the time could have been better used.
