Estonia Tours and Trips

This was one of the first trips of the season so some museums etc ere not open but Dziugas, our excellent guide navigated round these situations well.. plenty of variety in the programme; the 3 countries all have their own individuality with histories sometimes different and sometimes divergent. Plenty of walking both in the countryside and in the cities. Interesting restaurants with good food although the service could be slow. A very good driver, always on time with a comfortable minibus.

This was our best trip yet with Explore. Th itinerary was well paced and included some great highlights. The quality of the hotels and breakfasts well exceeded our expectations. Finally, and most importantly, our guide Dziugas Vickus, was excellent - these 3 countries are steeped in fascinating history and his knowledge was fantastic. He was calm, capable and confidant with all the practicalities and all done with a good sense of humour

Really good itinerary to make the most of both cities (Tallinn and Helsinki) plus some time out in nature. Really good local guides who made everything very easy. Great bus travel - very comfortable and spacious. Brilliantly tailored programmes to make the most of the trip. Great guides and all logistics taken care of so you don't need to worry about anything.

Had a great break over Xmas. Inna our tour leader was excellent. Very organised, lots of interesting stories and very enthusiastic. Particularly loved the little Xmas surprises we received. Will be looking for Dzuigas cheese at home. All 3 cities were lovely, with their differences, no favourite as all fantastic. Amberton Hotel in Vilnius was a very tired and being offered a room with a great view wasn't necessarily great as the church bells rang the quarter hour all night. Konventa Seta in Riga was fab as was Pakruojis Manor. Shame we didn't get to explore the manor in daylight. Park Inn in Tallinn was as expected but very corporate. Overall a great break, would recommend the tour.

Great trip to a vibrant region with lots of history which is very relevant today. Lots to see and Ona, our guide, was very good at explaining the different countries, culture, places and buildings. I particularly liked Ona's stories about her personal experiences which brought things to life.

Excellent tour leader who provided an excellent insight into region. All city guides were engaging and interesting but hard to maintain concentration on a three hour walking tour. Comfortable bus with an excellent driver Good itinerary with interesting stops on travelling days.
