Neringa: Breathtaking Curonian Life in a Day

This place is the best. We strongly recommend Curonian Spit to ourselves and we do recommend it for You. It is a unique narrow piece of land squeezed between the Baltic sea and the Curonian lagoon. Once it was surrounded by fisherman villages that now became picturesque resorts.

Kaunas day trip - the unsung Hero

Kaunas is like a younger brother of Vilnius. Sometimes it seems to be in the shadows of the capital. But make no mistake - this is a superficial paradigm – Kaunas is a very vivid both in history and now: culture is thriving, and it’s always been the innovator vs Vilnius!

Fantastic Trip with Laura!
We had a fantastic trip to Riga with Laura (pronounced Lau-Ra). She was a very energetic, positive and very historically informative guide. You could not ask for a better guide! The van we rode in was spacious enough for 8. The van was unmarked by advertising/logo so we did not feel like a marked' tourist. There were so many great sights to see along the way. We particularly enjoyed the Trakai Castle and Hill of Crosses. I highly recommend taking the trip to anyone wanting to see sights outside the Baltic capitals. See the real countryside!

Thank you Laura!

A perfect trip!
Ok, my opinion could be affected by the fact that everyone on this tour was extremely nice: starting from Laura, our funny and exuberant guide, to the other amazing travellers with whom I soon formed a little family! The trip itself went through several locations which covered both the cultural/historical aspect and the sightseeing one. I learnt a lot of interesting facts well explained by Laura, who often also put a smile on our faces. I'm really glad that I joined this tour and I totally recommend it!
Vilnius–Riga Sightseeing Tour Bus
Totally enjoyable and interesting trip
I highly recommend this tour. If you have to get from Riga to Vilnius anyway, you might as well see all the interesting sights along the way and learn something about each of these countries. The guide was quite knowledgeable, the stops were exactly what I would have wanted to see and would have taken day trips from Riga or Vilnius to see. The van was comfortable and the lunch stop was quite pleasant. It did make for a very long day, however, and I found that I had to take the next day off from sightseeing in order to rest up after 11 hours of touring and 15,635 steps (and I didn't walk as much as some).

Über-ultra-super-mega-trip!!
I loved the trip!! The stops were really key spots to visit and the tour guide was really nice, friendly, funny and provided us with interesting facts. A tour that one must do to better travel between the Baltics =)

A great idea (but keep it small)
A 12 hour journey between Vilnius and Riga may not sound much fun. Particularly in a rather cramped minibus. But wait. For those who want to see something on the way, meet like-minded people and do something a bit different this is hard to beat.
Yes, it is a guided tour. With a very enthusiastic guide who makes sure that we have all got to know each other before the day is out. First stop Kaunas to hear about the history of Lithuania and that town in particular. Next stop, the Hill of Crosses. One of this countries "must-see" sites. A restaurant stop at a deer farm - if you don't like deer, there are other options, but don't miss the apple pie.
Once into Latvia, there is a stop at Rundales Palace to enjoy the gardens and then on to Riga but not before a stop at Salaspils concentration camp memorial for a reminder of Latvia's less pleasant past.
Arriving at Riga, we departed as old friends and even got a bonus ride to our hotel.
A great way to explore these countries. Hopefully it remains successful, but not too successful. The small scale is part of the charm.

Fantastic Tour Company!
I booked two tours with this company, and was thrilled both times. My friend and I used the tours as our method of transportation between Baltic cities and to see some of the places that are a bit harder to reach on your own. It was shocking to me how cheap these tours were, but also how amazing! The first tour was from Tallinn to Riga. First of all, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. Some highlights were the town of Viljandi, Helme, and Gauja National Park. The second tour was from Riga to Vilnius. Our tour guides were amazing and very knowledgeable, willing to answer obscure questions and also fun as travel companions. This tour had even better highlights, specifically Rundāle Palace, lunch in the incredibly picturesque Audruvis, the Hill of Crosses, and Trakai. I cannot recommend this tour company enough, and will definitely use them on any return trips to the Baltics in the future!

Great way to get to Riga
The one-way tour from Vilnius to Riga was a lot of fun. Our guide/driver Beatrice greeted us warmly and promptly at the appointed pick-up place in the morning. There were four other travellers from three other countries that also added to the trip. The weather was horrible but Beatrice keep the mood light and positive by sharing information and stories to put things in context. She was very open and willing to answer all questions. I chose this tour as it allowed to see various sites not accessible without a car. It was worth it.

To top the trip off Beatrice kindly dropped everyone at the specific location they were staying at in Riga. That is an extra I was extremely thankful for.

Very good tours with good guides
In June I made three tours, Riga-Tallinn, Lahemaa National Park and Riga-Vilnius. I can recommend all three tours, they were really interesting and we saw a lot of things I didn't read in a travel guide. Especially Riga-Vilnius was very interesting and we saw a lot of interesting places. The staff is very helpful, Isabel answered all my emails very quickly. And Triin is an awesome tour guide. She told the history of Estonia very emotional with a very private character and she told us examples from her own family about the suffering time before Independence. The guides of the other tours were also good, but Triin was phenomenal.

This was a fabulous way to see Vilnius. Veronika's fascinating tour was amazingly relaxed and informative. She loves to teach and share perspectives -- both about modern Lithuanian society but also about transition from an occupied country to an independent nation. The tour included a stop for traditional Lithuanian food, and she was able to give other great insider tips for the rest of my time in the city. They also rented me a bike for the day following my tour, and gave me suggestions on where to go biking -- and I had a wonderful day biking out into the countryside north of Vilnius. I would recommend this tour enthusiastically.

Very enjoyable!
My partner and I had one week in Lithuania and Latvia and while I was planning on our trip, I came across a tour which allowed tourists to see some of the sites between Riga and Vilnius. I immediately booked it... It was affordable, less of a hassle than renting a car and interesting. It was a small tour that day as it was the start of the season and it didn't even feel like a tour! We learned a lot that day and we were able to ask lots of questions. Highly recommended! The next time we're in the Baltics, we would definitely consider the Riga-Tallinn trip.

Leuke manier om van Vilnius naar Riga te reizen.
In een kleine busje reis je langs een aantal bezienswaardigheden. De verhalen en het enthousiasme van onze gids Laura waren daarbij van grote toegevoegde waarde. Het is ook leuk om op deze manier met een aantal andere toeristen in contact te komen. In Kaunas ben je eigenlijk te kort. Daar kun je makkelijk 2 dagen doorbrengen, maar het is leuk om op deze manier te zien wat de stad te bieden heeft. Bij de andere attracties waren we lang genoeg en ze waren erg interessant. Deze tour is een aanrader!

A rewarding way to travel between cities
We had a great day with Camilla in a group of eight in a comfortable van. Camilla is a well-informed, friendly guide and a safe, capable driver. The four sightseeing stops were well-spaced and of great variety. Camilla gave us lots of information at each. Lunch at a very pleasant restaurant with good choice of meals, made for a relaxed break. Drop-off in Riga old town was convenient. We’re pleased that we chose likealocal.

Amazing tour
Laura was amazing, straight from the get go. So energetic meeting us at the hotel, very knowledgeable about everything and a very enthusiastic about her job. We had a great time with her and really enjoyed being with her. We could’ve easily have spent another couple of hours with her. Would love to see her in future and/or do another tour with her in the future. Thank you for an amazing day. Tom/Paul/Dorothy/Harry

Two fantastic tours
We did the Tallinn-Riga and Riga-Vilnius tours and they were both fantastic. Long days but we visited lots of places that would have been difficult to get to on our own. The guides were friendly and very knowledgeable and the atmosphere with such a small group (maximum 8 people) was great. Plenty of space in the back of the van for luggage. Would definitely book another tour with this company.

Nice way to know more about Baltic countries
We were a group of four friends that had just a week to visit Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. This tour made us to know more than Vilnius or Riga, making friends and assisted by Laura, who was very close and nice. We liked the places we visited in a minivan for 8 people. You are allowed to talk, to drink or eat in the minivan and the fact of being just 8 provided us agility and comfort.

Praise for Trakai Castle and Jewish History Group Tour
I thoroughly enjoyed this small group tour while in Lithuania. Excellent guide and fellow tourists...and the sites we saw were so compelling. Sometimes it's hard to book private tours on this website (guides are not that available/flexible I have found...book far in advance if you want one), so I was switched to this group tour and enjoyed it even more. Give this site a try!
