And for contrast and clarity we will take a look at Helsinki (FIN), St. Petersburg (RU) and Moscow (RU) to get much broader view on the region. This trip for a traveler is a refined 12meal tasting dinner at some kick-ass restaurant for foodies – worth savoring. Holiday price is from € 1845 per person based on availability and two people sharing a standard twin or double room. Single supplement is € 700.

Meet Our Baltic States! We are an incoming tour operator and DMC that is run by travelers, who strive to deliver memorable experiences and moments for those who travel with us. We specialize in multiday tours, weekend breaks, thematic weekend breaks, day tours and other services that help to fulfill your wishes while staying in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Some of our tours include Scandinavia, Belarus and Poland.

Top sights & Experiences. We are a group of well traveled souls who are very demanding for what we organize and how we host in our homeland. So, we don’t call it tours – it is experiences that we do. We are focused on the emotions, moments that you or your customers feel rather than some sights to take a picture.

Creative Tourism. We focus on adventure tourism may it be Sauna on a Baltic seaside or in a cave. Sleeping in a boat or taking a digital detox – we are here to provide some impactful journeys.

Hospitality. Good service is our core target. Our team has won the most hospitable team award from Lithuanian Tourism Board in 2017, so be sure we are very much about details. We are flexible to tailor every experience to the customers needs to help our travelers make the most of their trip.

Responsible tourism. Local communities are a part of our club! We stay in the best homesteads, meet local crafters, support traditions and work closely with local communities. Trust us, it will be of the beaten track, trus us – it will be memorable. We drink water from a tap which is super good in Lithuania.

Authenticity. Many of us are modern and connected. However we have some very authentic things left. Sauna on a seaside, comfort-loaded SPA, or some smoked fisherman’s catch and a lot more.

Welcome to our Baltic countries!
