My Baltics adventure (Lithuania -> Latvia -> Estonia) planned by Emerson was just what I wanted:
- I feel I had good coverage of all 3 countries, seeing /learning the capital city highlights & history as well as experiencing the major national parks as well as many regional ones
- all drivers and guides arrived ahead of the scheduled times — no waiting
- all drivers and guides spoke clear English and were very easy to talk to — I’ll be life-long friends with many of them :-)
- as a naturalist, looking to find & document local species, I was very successful, finding over 100 new (to me) species of plants & animals
- all lodging was in top rated hotels, with good service, facilities, with a full spectrum breakfast included
- all city lodging was located in the heart of the respective city, in easy walking distance of key sites and many restaurants
- all rural lodging was in or next to park land, which I could easily walk to and explore

My guide Rahel was superb — very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with :-). At my request, I requested that we replace visiting non-park places with more park trails :-)
