13D12N Baltic Adventure (EXVS)
Decades after the fall of communism, the Baltic countries of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia remain a mystery to most travellers. We’re not complaining, though; more mystery means fewer crowds and an easier time getting to know these fantastic countries. Beginning in charming cobblestoned Vilnius and ending in beautiful Helsinki, this two-week trip gets to the very heart of the region.
Tour Highlights:
- Explore the charming and enigmatic Baltic countries
- Ride a bike around the coastal dunes of Lithuania’s Curonian Spit
- Picnic in beautiful Riga
- Live like a local on a farm in Estonia
- Wander the charming streets of Helsinki
Good to know
- Physical Rating: 2: Light walking and hiking suitable for most fitness levels. Nothing too challenging.
