Classical Baltics Tour

Dear Inga

We returned from our holiday today and hasten to assure you that all the arrangements went without a hitch. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our introduction to the Baltics, and in the company of a very international group which added another dimension. Our thanks for letting us tap into your expertise!

Good evening Inga

Thanks for your e mail.

Hi Daina

Yes, we're back safe and sound.  

We would like to say a big "thank you" to you and the team for a holiday that beat all of our expectations!  Everything was fantastic and we enjoyed every minute.  

Flights, transfers, hotels, tours all worked perfectly. All my 'mobility issues' were fully taken care of.  We still can't believe how beautiful all the places are that we visited.  The atmosphere in all the squares, bars and restaurants was just great.

Probably drank too much local beer (its all sooo nice) and the Black Balsam was dangerous in a good way!

Anyway, thanks again for organising everything so brilliantly.

Kind Regards

Steve & Angela

Dear Lena

We enjoyed the holiday very much, thanks. Riga and Tallinn in particular were exceptional. We enjoyed a number of really first class meals, including at Vincent's in Riga and restaurant Tchaikovsky in Tallinn. 

Our guide in Riga, and who stayed with us until we reached Tallinn, was particularly good. She was a similar age to ourselves and, having lived through the Soviet occupation, was able to speak first hand about what life was like then which we found very interesting.

We will remember the Baltics with pleasure.

Kind regards

Robert

Dear Daina

Re the holiday:

1 Everything went perfectly - all drivers and guides turned up as scheduled...great.

2 Flights were fine

3 Hotels were excellent in terms of comfort and position...best one Tallinn. 

4 Guides were excellent especially the Riga one.

5 The restaurants were great - we had some wonderful meals in all 3 cities. 

6 Museums good but some were first class. Linda ( my achilles tendon was playing up after so much walking the day before so I rested)  went to the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia in its temporary quarters. She said it was fantastic. It is difficult to be cheerful after seeing how Stalin treated these peoples.

The only slight problem was that you told me we could not go direct to St Petersburg from Tallinn (we went via Riga) but there were flights announced doing this. Am I correct?

Thank you very much for arranging an excellent holiday..we now have to write my 45 minute talk on the Baltic States!

Hello Saija

Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Baltic States.

The best of the hotels was the Radisson Blu in Vilnius but those in Riga and Tallinn were very comfortable.

The geographical location of each of them in terms of old town accessibility was superb.  The choice of restaurants everywhere was mind-boggling.

We enjoyed the inclusive on-foot city tours with knowledgeable and interesting guides.  Our guide, Petros, who escorted us from Vilnius to Tallinn was especially deserving of praise. 

The full complement of tourists on this particular holiday totalled 15 which was excellent when it came to managing walking tours.  It also provided lots of space on our 42 seater coach!

We learned to say 'thank you' in three completely different languages.  Most confusing!

This was a great, relaxing way to visit the Baltic States and we highly recommend it. We are also grateful for the attentive and professional way you helped us prior to our departure.

Best wishes.

Thank you.  Aciu.  Paldies.  Aitäh.

We had a really good time, Daina. All the arrangements worked perfectly, the car transfers at each end, the hotels, the coaches, especially the three local guides and most especially the one based at Riga who came with us from Vilnius to Tallinn were all excellent. We would have forgone the diversion to see the Hill of Crosses, as we heard would most of the other guests, but that was our only downside.
We thank you and Baltic Travel for all your arrangements and we have no hesitation in recommending you.

Thank you.
Richard and Lynda

We had a great holiday, the Hotels in Vilnuis and Tallinn were first class, the hotel in Riga could do with a bit of sprucing up.
All three local guides were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.
The itinerary was just right, having included tours but then options of extra tours or time to do your own thing.
We had bed and breakfast and there was so much choice at each of the hotels then on an evening we found some lovely restaurants and had really good meals.

We have already recommended this holiday to friends and family.

Thanks

Hi Lena, we have had a most wonderful time, and everything else worked liked clockwork........the hotels were beautiful (all quite different) and we have totally fallen for Riga and Tallinn especially ! Everyone was so very friendly ! We will definitely be going back to visit again, so thank you for your help, and wishing you a very Happy Christmas !
Kind regards, Jane

I just wanted to thank you very much for organising a terrific trip for Don and I through the Baltic Region.
All your arranging worked extremely well, with all transfers being on time, friendly and efficient.
The hotels we stayed in offered a variety of styles and all clean, central and a pleasure to be in.
Our guides were friendly and shared their wealth of knowledge of the area with us.
 
If you could pass on our thanks to the people involved that would be appreciated and a special thanks to yourself.
 
Don and I are now back home in Australia and have already recommended your company to a few people.
 
Kind Regards
from Jenny and Don

Hello Iveta

We would just like you to know how much we enjoyed our holiday in Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn. The hotels were all super, all the arrangements that you made for us were great, and I suppose that nobody can help Ryan Air, who did leave something to be desired at Stansted on our outward journey!

With our very best wishes
Neville and Joyce
