Testimonials

My mates and I can thoroughly recommend. A very friendly company, everything was arranged perfectly for our 4 day trip exploring the wonderful country of Lithuania. We go somewhere every year since 23 years, and this was the first time using e-bikes. It was also one of the best! The bikes supplied were excellent. All my communications with Saulius the owner were easy and friendly and very efficient. Easily a 10 out of 10 experience. Nei Watson, Great Britain, 2022
Dear Baltic Bike Travel Team, We would like to thank you very much for the perfect organization of the bike tour from Vilnius to Tallinn. Everything worked out great - even the weather played along with sun, sun, sun. Igor was a great travel companion who did his job confidently in every situation - with a high level of commitment and obvious joy. We are taking home many very good impressions from the three Baltic states. Gitta and Steffen Hoy, Germany, 2021 (self-guided supported cycle tour of the Baltics: from Vilnius to Tallinn, SG11)
I was part of Ann Scolnick's tour from Tallin to Vilnius. I was extremely pleased and satisfied with our tour. The organization, and hotels were excellent. Our meals outside of the hotels were better than the ones provided in the hotels. The best part of our tour was our guide Vaida! She was exceptional, in fact better than any guide I have had during any of my extensive travels. I will recommend your company to my friends, and hope they also will be lucky enough to have such a wonderful guide.

The cycling trip has been the highlight of the year my life :) for me. It was 10/10 all the way. I wouldn't change a thing and have told my friends they should go.
Thank you so much for an incredible experience. I knew little about your part of the world . . . and now I only want to know more. The Curonian Spit is beautiful. It's all beautiful.
Plus, with the help of Redas and Igor I was able to make a detour and find the house my uncle built where my mom lived in the Kaliningrad Oblast until 1945.
Kudos to each of you for making me feel welcome and for anticipating and meeting my interests and needs. Seriously, you guys are amazing!!
Gabriele Goldstone from Winnipeg, Canada, 2019 (self-guided supported cycle tour from Klaipėda to Gdansk, SG18x)
My wife and I loved the Baltic self-guided tour of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The route selected meant each day had a good piece of riding on quiet roads or bike paths through interesting countryside plus stops in all of the major cities and towns. Our small group got on very well together.
Simon Flowers, Switzerland, 2015 (self-guided tour of the Baltics: Tallinn to Vilnius)
Yes we had a good trip. Saw some nice nature and pleasant villages. The hotels were also good. And the bikes. The driver drove us fast and safe from / to Riga. And we were lucky with the weather. Just a few drops of rain the last day. Mostly sunny. It rained a lot more in Sweden during that week. Best regards,
Hans Brandtberg, Sweden, 2013 (tour SG1, along the Lithuanian Seaside)
Hi Saulius, We had a great time on our trip, and would recommend you to anyone. If you ever figure out how to do a Helsinki - Tallinn via St Petersburg ride, we'd be in!"
Richard Seton, USA, 2014 (self-guided tour of the Baltics: Tallinn to Vilnius)
Our cycling-group has spent 10 days in Lithuania and explored your country on Baltic Bike Travel route “Vilnius-Curonian Spit-Klaipeda" – we all want to thank you again for your efforts and great assistance in planning and organizing our individual intentions to realize our this years cycling idea.
Ludwig Enser, Germany, 2012 (tour SG2, Lithuania – from the capital to the Seaside)
Now we are back from a most interesting and well-organized "Baltic Capital City" guided bicycle tour. We have cycled in France, Italy, Scotland, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Greece, Germany, the Czech Republic and Ireland in all kinds of landscapes ... so we have some guided cycle tours to compare with. My husband and I are so very satisfied with the whole tour. It was just what we expected except for some extra positive factors...
Anita Bostrom-Baversten, Sweden, 2011 (tour G1)
Wishing to see a part of the world we knew little about, we 6 friends took a chance on BalticBike and were not disappointed. We had great support on our custom trip from Vilnius to Tallinn, including the support we had for an unexpected trip to the emergency room in Lithuania. The contrast of the capital cities and the rural national parks was visually impressive. We would not hesitate to recommend BalticBikes, professionally managed from start to finish.

Welcome to Estonia

Estonia, the most Northern of the Baltic countries, is a beautiful place to visit. Its glorious medieval cities, lush forests and sandy beaches, as well as quaint villages, elegant manor houses and lovely countryside make for a wonderfully memorable holiday. Estonia has a long and interesting history, from medieval times when Tallinn was a bustling port to the more recent Soviet occupation. Estonians on the one hand, have a love of the past, of their folklore, and the outdoors-fiercely protecting their traditions and ancient festivals, and on the other, they are one of the most forward thinking and technical nations in Europe, always exploring and inventing something new.
So expect a place where the old meets the new, that is fresh and creative, where the past and the future is equally revered, where you will experience the most beautiful nature and most wonderful cities, be intrigued by an interesting culture and always a very warm welcome.

Short history

Since ancient times Estonia has always been fought over. Settlers are thought to have arrived at what is now Estonia at around 9000BC. Since then it has been fought over and sometimes ruled over by Prussia, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Poland and Russia. On February 24th, 1918, Estonia was declared independent of the Russias, who had at least partially ruled Estonia since around 1721. The celebration was short lived, however, as the advancing German army invaded Estonia the very next day. After the war had ended the Russians again invaded Estonia, but this time they were beaten back in 1919. In February 1920 Estonia was recognised by Russia as an independent nation.
This all changed in June, 1940, when Russia (its named changed to the USSR) annexed Estonia, making them part of the Soviet Union. Then in 1941 Estonia was under German occupation, until 1944 when the Russians returned yet again and placed Estonia back under communist rule. Estonia was finally recognised as an independent country once more on the 6th of September 1991. It joined the European Union in 2005.
