The Baltic Highlight Tour ticked all the boxes. Nice hotels well organised good programme. Best of all was our Latvian guide Zane. She gave so much more than just the sights. A real insight into traditions and culture. As an independent traveller I usually prefer to organise my own trips but then you either need more time or see less. The highlights format suited me perfectly with plenty of free afternoons and freedom to choose my own restaurants. Baltic Travel was the only company I looked at that could offer a trip on the dates I wanted and also included flights. I found the mixture of nationalities we had Americans and Australians worked better for me than just one group all from the UK. Baltic Travel uses Balticvision a company based in Riga and they use various guides, Zane Atvara was from Latriga, possibly her own company. I really enjoyed the trip and visiting the Baltics now in the present political situation seemed the right thing to do. Summed up on the big skyscraper sign in Vilnius: PUTIN THE HAGUE IS WAITING FOR YOU. The food everywhere was fantastic and I chose many TripAdvisor recommended restaurants or somewhere our guide recommended. The 3 hotels were all within walking distance from the old town in each city. Souvenirs were great and I indulged in amber as well as a sweater. Important to shop around to get the best price and cash does give you an even better price if you haggle. Important too to book restaurants ahead of time as the popular ones fill up quickly with bookings.
