    We got bids from several companies for a 10 day private tour of the Baltics and picked Baltic Travel Services because Inge was so responsive. She planned the perfect trip with great drivers, nice cars and wonderful guides. Inge took care of all the details and we saw everything on our list. BTW, we loved the Curonian Spit in Lithuania - it was a highlight of our trip. Thanks Inge

    My wife and I hired Baltic Travel Services for a 5-day private tour of Latvia and Lithuania. The whole experience was awesome, mainly due to the great tour guide we had, Ilce. Ilce has a fantastic personality and engages customers with her knowledge and personal anecdotes of the places we visited. The drivers were always very punctual to arrive at the agreed upon time and always greeted us with a smile. We were pleasantly surprised to learn so much of the Latvian history. On our last day we visited the Riga Market and were able to try some of the unique and wonderful foods the locals eat. It was just amazing.

    A once in a lifetime experience and most memorable trip arranged superbly by Baltic Travel Services in early September 2026. I could not have asked for a more caring and professional company to take care of all my needs on the ground including ground transportation, entry tickets and the most amazing excursions delivered by top English-speaking guides. I am immensely grateful to Inga for such dedication and this is a trip that has left me with countless beautiful memories of Lithuania and Latvia that I will cherish. One of the reasons for my visit was to learn about my ancestors who came from this part of the world and to see how the countries have developed. I could not have done this without the fantastic assistance of Baltic Travel Services. Thank you very, very much. Denise

    We did the Lapland and Baltics tour and I have to say we LOVED working with the Santa and the team! Everything was meticulously planned out perfectly with enough free time and scheduled activities. The activities were also PHENOMENAL! Especially the walking tours, which were so interesting and informative, but also fun. Santa kept in constant communication with us, constantly updating us and ensuring we were always taken care of. The transfers were also seamless. I’ve already recommended the company to multiple people so everyone can explore the beauty of the Baltics.
