Hello my name is Valdis Čeičs I’m the founder of the Baltic Nature travel company. After 7 years of experience in planning, leading and guiding tours (English and German languages) I like to share my passion for adventure tourism by tailoring tours for you. My interests include going for long nature walks and going on bike rides through the Baltic wilderness and country side where I love to share my knowledge and experience of local traditions, flora and fauna. My home town is Riga and I work in the Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia).
I invite you to enjoy the unique Baltic capitals - Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius and to travel to small towns and vilages to experience local life style by participating in authentic traditions presented by local people in each visited place. The company works with guides in different Baltic region destinations who like to share knowledge about the local culture and the nature off the beaten track.

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.
My wife and I had a wonderful time visiting Lithuania with the help of our guide Grazina. She was very knowledgeable about the places we visited, several of which were 'off the beaten path'. Also, our local specialist Ieva arranged local guides for other places we visited such as the Open Air Museum of Lithuania, my grandfather's village Zemaiciu Naumeistas, and the city of Kleipeda.
Thank you for your nice feedback!

We highly recommend him.
