If anyone reading is unsure about visiting The Baltics, do go! Excellent.

We had a great time! We had never been to any of the three Baltic States previously, and were very pleasantly surprised. All of the hotels we stayed in were very good, towns and cities interesting. Highly recommend the walking tours, good to get an inside knowledge from enthusiastic, knowledgeable guides, Ben in Vilnius was great, he was keen to hear about where we come from also, others in Tallinn, Parnu and Riga were also excellent, ( The Seaplane Harbour in Tallinn, beaches in Parnu,, architecture in Riga / Vilnius were brilliant ) If anyone reading is unsure about visiting The Baltics, do go! Excellent.

How impressed we were with the organisation of our trip

We had a fantastic holiday and everything went very smoothly. We were also lucky enough, albeit through a vehicle fault, to meet up with Jurga. Her husband was our guide on the day out in Riga but unfortunately the car developed a problem. Jurga came out with another vehicle. It was great to meet her having had so many e-mail conversations. It was good to be able to say how impressed we were with the organisation of our trip. It was really well put together and all of the guides were very good and knowledgeable. Bearing in mind the length of time we spent with them we had no hitches. We learnt a lot from the trip and enjoyed hearing the guides' stories.
