Trip Reviews (1) Most Recent 'Warsaw, the Baltics & Helsinki' Reviews
The pace of the tour with mostly two night stops was just right as it gave us plenty of time to wander around the beautiful cities of Warsaw, Vilnius and Riga. We would have like another day in Tallinn and we added an extra night in Helsinki. The optional tours were good and we particularly enjoyed the optional Polish dinner with live entertainment. Overall a great well balanced tour, great tour guide, comfortable bus and very comfortable hotel accommodation. Will definitely tour again with Globus. As with all our other bookings with Global Journeys, Yvonne did a sterling job.
