About This Tour

A 13-day route through Estonia and Latvia — Tallinn's Old Town, a hike in Lahemaa National Park, Tartu, medieval Cēsis, kayaking on the Gauja River, and Riga's Art Nouveau streets — adapted from a self-drive itinerary into a private chauffeured trip. Adapted from a self-drive itinerary — Voyzo runs this route with your own private driver and vehicle instead of a rental car. Five nights are in Estonia (Tallinn, Lahemaa, and Tartu), before the route continues into Latvia (Cēsis, the Gauja Valley, Kuldīga, Jūrmala, and Riga) for the remaining seven nights — every night's hotel is confirmed in whichever country you're actually in that day.
