Moonika planned a perfect trip for us through Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Every detail was covered with awesome guides and drivers. Our itinerary allowed us to experience the beauty of the Baltics as well as give us time to relax and explore by ourselves. A fantastic time in magical places, everything we asked Moonika gave us.

Great way to overview the city and surrounds with fun guides.

Juhani provided us with a great trip out in the wilderness, complete with campfire, to capture the midnight sun.

Something that is completely off track but very much a fun activity. Scratching around for an amethyst with a wilderness background was amazing.

What better way to relax than floating in a lake. Fabulous night with a fun guide and small group. Don’t trust Tommy to take a photo though🤣

Probably a great place for younger children but limited interest for adults only.

Interesting tour of the city, our guide was not as engaging as others we have had.

Nice cruise on the river with a light lunch provided. The boat was clean and well equipped with the operator very friendly.

Great walk through the wilderness with Helena with a well organised and tasty lunch provided.

We loved Estonia and our first tour of the city cemented this, our guide was extremely knowledgeable on the history of the city.

What better way of seeing the forests and bogs of Estonia than a trip with Marilin. We picked forest strawberries, blueberries and cloudberries before shoeing across the bogs. A must do trip with Marilin.

Great few hours visiting this lovely seaside city, our guide was very good and passionate about her home.

Great guide who showed us the different side of Riga while still capturing the tourist must sees.

The palace was nice to see, our guide was not very engaging.

Gadis was a great guide and driver, as he was born in Kuldīga he had some tales to tell about growing up in this area.
![Discover Beautiful Curonian Spit](https://cdn.kimkim.com/files/a/images/aad96860d040a8756a0d7e2ec9c86f8434b24a61/medium-b13db3cc6ecdb8a2f93e5e09f7b5752c.jpg)
Curonian Spit was truly beautiful. Minda our guide was extremely friendly and had a great knowledge of the area especially about the folklore.

Jelena gave us a very extensive tour of Vilnius, taking us off the tourist path and providing us with a wealth of knowledge.
![Day Trip to Trakai and Darguziai Community Centre](https://cdn.kimkim.com/files/a/images/8a070834c779476eeda7e0fa21896ec4b9c3eb2e/medium-76a5e81d2f8011d16b05969b161f0eb1.jpg)
We had a great time with the ladies at the Darguziai Community Centre cooking and learning about different artisans. The day was topped off with a visit to the must see Trakai castle.

Thank you for your kind words and comprehensive feedback Debbie! It was nice meeting you both in Tallinn and I loved our little chat. I hope to have you as my guests again in the future. Maybe next time in winter then:)
Best,
