"Unforgettable Riga to Tallinn Van Trip!"

We couldn't have asked for a better way to travel between Riga and Tallinn. Our guide, Daumants, made the entire experience truly special. His enthusiasm was contagious — you could tell he genuinely enjoyed every single stop along the way, and that energy made the whole trip so much more memorable. Daumants' knowledge really stood out. At each stop, he took the time to explain the history and significance of what we were seeing in a way that was engaging and easy to follow, never rushed. It felt less like a standard tour and more like exploring with a well-informed friend who was excited to share it all with us. The pacing of the trip was great, and the van itself was comfortable for the journey. Between Daumants' storytelling and the beautiful scenery along the Baltic route, the hours flew by. If you're looking for a way to travel between Riga and Tallinn that's more than just point A to point B, I highly recommend this experience — and be sure to ask for Daumants as your guide if you can!

"Very good"

Our driver and licensed guide, Kolo, did an outstanding job! He provided excellent, enriching guidance, made sure we reached every single stop along the way without missing a thing, and delivered top-notch service right up to the last moment.

"Excellent guide, but lackluster stops"

Helen, our guide, was sweet, efficient and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the bobsled track, but the remaining stops were a bit underwhelming. That said, the transfer tour did its job -- it made what would otherwise have been just a "travel day" also a vacation day, with a pleasant driver and one "A level" and a few "B or B-stops."

"Great guide and company "

The guide was very helpful and it was a lovely group of people that we were travelling with. Time spent at each location was appropriate that you would not feel rushed at all

"Magical tour through Latvian & Estonian countryside"

This tour was the perfect opportunity to combine sightseeing with transiting from Riga to Tallinn. Our friendly guide filled us in on so many aspects of life in the Baltics and stopped at such interesting places along the way. Lunch was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

"Great roadtrip"

This tour changes the concept of a travel day. It has everything from bobslee track (so much more interesting than one could imagine), nature, old towns and castles. The lunch stop at the brewery was very nice. Our guide told us a lot about nature and the history of both Latvia and Estonia. This is the best way to travel between Riga and Tallinn

Meeting Point

The tour starts in front of Riga Old Town Hostel, Vaļņu iela 43, Riga. Our guide will meet you at the marked meeting point.
