Baltic Nature Travel

Our trip was fantastic thanks to the expert planning of kimkim's local specialist - Valdis, and our INCREDIBLE guide, Tomas. From a planning perspective, working with Valdis made organizing and planning our trip simple and easy, especially since he took care of almost all the details and was sure to incorporate our group needs/preferences into the itinerary planning. He also was responsive to changes in our itinerary when we decided to extend a day because we were enjoying our trip so much! Valdis was excellent at building a trip that was easy to take, easy to enjoy, and easy to relax on!

Most importantly though, Valdis chose an excellent guide to show us around Lithuania. Our guide Tomas went above and beyond to ensure our trip was a 10/10 experience. From a professional perspective, Tomas was an extremely thorough and effective guide. He was able to teach us so much about Lithuania and all that we were seeing and he showcased his extensive knowledge by being flexible with our interests and itinerary. Tomas also went above and beyond to acclimate us to every area we went to, having not only knowledge of the history and legacy, but also of great places to eat and locals only tips for seeing the best parts of the cities we visited. On a personal level, we really enjoyed spending time with Tomas on our trip! He was friendly, kind and a joy to have with us. His company on our trip was a highlight for the group! We could not have imagined a more perfect guide for us.

Hotel Reviews

Park Hotel Siauliai

Siauliai

Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel! In a quiet part of town just off of the city park -- making it a relaxing place to stay! We loved the breakfast and the hotel amenities, including the sauna! Rooms were comfortable, clean and spacious. A really relaxing hotel with great service and comfort. Of note is that there is no elevator and there are many stairs -- it was no problem for our group, but could be for others.

Nice hotel with comfortable rooms! The rooms are a bit outdated but very spacious and comfortable. Great location once construction in the main square is finished.

There is construction in the main square that made it not as desirable, but when it is complete this hotel will be in the perfect location!

Activity Review

The Curonian Spit tour

Neringa

By far one of our favorite days of the trip! Would not skip this excursion and would even go back to stay on the spit for longer. We really enjoyed exploring the diverse landscape, learning about the traditions of the spit, and enjoying the nature.

We did the Baltic Sampler trip (or I think that's what it was called) - starting in Helsinki, and then moving on to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Valdis was very helpful throughout and very responsive as we asked questions and made tweaks in the itinerary. He booked excellent hotels for us, and arranged for truly excellent local guides to help us truly understand the places we were visiting, as well as getting access to experiences like a tea ceremony, and a cooking classes. I highly recommend working with Valdis and this platform.

These are the only places on earth where eastern and western architecture can now meet in harmony. The architecture tells a social history translated into excellent English on this tour! The hotels were clean, comfortable, and safe. The food was outstanding as well, I only wish I had more time!

Overall we had a good trip. The private guides were all amazing! At times things felt a bit disjointed but our trip coordinator Ieva made herself available via WhatsApp so we could coordinate.
