I did the Tallinn-Riga 12 h tour in July. It was a really fun way to explore this region and see many beautiful attractions in a relatively short time. We made stops in small cute towns and visited natural attractions after every little while. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny and other tour participants (altogether 8 of us) also a nice company.

Explore the romantic town of Viljandi and its crumbling crusader castle

Hike along the sandstone cliffs of Sietiņiezis in the Gauja National Park (may not be available during low season)

Description

Our entertaining Tallinn to Riga day trip takes you through the picturesque towns of Viljandi, Valga, Cēsis, and Sigulda in a small group of up to 8 people. We’ll show you places you’d never find on your own and help you discover two countries in one day.

You’ll learn about Estonian and Latvian history while exploring these small towns, as well as medieval castle ruins, quirky local sights, and beautiful countryside.

Get ready to roam not one, but two medieval castles – Viljandi and Cēsis – and learn how they came to be ruined.

Get to know the history of Estonia and Latvia in Valga, a town on the Estonian-Latvian border.

Hike along the sandstone cliffs of Sietiņiezis in the Gauja National Park, and take in the sights of Cēsis’ medieval Old Town.

Before reaching Riga, stop in Sigulda to climb up the only bobsleigh track in the Baltics.

In Valga, you'll also stop for lunch at a local restaurant. Kindly let our guides know if you have any special dietary requirements that should be taken into account. The location of the lunch is subject to availability, and the meal is not included in the price of the tour.

I took their first day trip to Riga and I'm so glad I chose that option instead of the normal 5 hour bus. The Estonian and Latvian countryside is so beautiful and I would have missed it all, since this trip follows an alternative road to Riga. Thank you so-so much Tallinn Traveller and Mart for the great day. Definitely recommended!
Amazing trip from Tallinn to †Riga‡
From little town centers and very impressive landscapes, and walks around National Parks between ancient ruins and Castles, i had a very nice daytrip from Tallinn to Riga and i'm very grateful to Traveller Day Tours, and to my small group that chose that kind of transfer instead of others. Thanks to our guide JAAN, a young man who seemed very prepared and kind of history-enthusiast (he's a history college student in Tartu). That was really useful cause he explained pretty much everything we could know about Estonia, and asked all the questions we got on the places we've been through and more. He was nice and clearly expert, cause he knew when to be silent to get us fully enjoy the magic of some moments. Also very nice, cheap and tasty was the restaurant that Jaan suggested for lunch.
