Baltic Beaches Luxury Holiday

Without exception, all the guides and drivers were first class

Without exception, all the guides and drivers were first class; knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. In Vilnius, Benjaminas seem to know something about almost every building of interest in the city and, of course, with all his experience, during our time in Lithuania, there wasn’t a single question from us which stumped Linas. In Latvia, Normundstook us to the Rundale Palace and suggested we might also like a stop at Bauska Castle. This was a really good suggestion and we thoroughly enjoyed the extra stop. He was a great guy and very interesting. Similarly, in Riga, we had a fantastic time with Gita, especially when she mentioned the Art Nouveau Eisenstein buildings (something we didn’t know anything about) and asked if we wanted to see them. Naturally, we said “Yes” and then spent an incredible couple of hours marvelling at all the extravagant designs around Alberta iela. And, of course, In Estonia, we had Jane making sure that we didn’t lose ourselves in the Soomaa swamp and bog. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for the National Park was awesome; moreover, due to her looking out for us, we both managed to avoid getting that ‘sinking feeling’ whilst bog-walking😊 Back in the ‘big city’, Stina took us around whilst also pointing out good places to eat and visit, and Ivo took us out on a coastal walk which, in many ways reminded us of being at home in West Cornwall.
