I can’t think of a better way to travel from Tallinn to Riga than this. Not only was it easy, convenient and comfortable; but also far more enjoyable than bus, train or plane. Additionally, we got to see places and sights we would not have otherwise been able to get to. Martins was outstanding. He went out of his way to make sure the trip was enjoyable. He provided history and insight into both Latvia and Estonia, kept us interested and entertained, and even added a few additional surprises on the way. If I could give this 10 stars, I would.
Our driver, Martins, was amazing. He was very professional throughout our 8-hour trip, and yet he was also informative and fun to be around. The time flew by quickly because Martins made the journey so interesting and enjoyable. He allowed us to experience a very nice Latvian restaurant, and, being American sports fans, we were surprised by his profound knowledge of the NBA. We can say with great confidence that you will never find a better companion for this road trip than Martins, who is a wonderful family man and dad. He was one of the highlights of our vacation, and we are pleased to give Martins our very highest recommendation. No one could be better!
Booked this tour for 3 people. Martins was our driver, he was prompt, kind, knowledgeable and most importantly a very safe driver. It was wonderful hearing about the history of this region from a local perspective. Martins went above and beyond so many times to make sure we had the best experience. His recommendation for Riga were spot on! Can't recommend this tour enough! Much much better than a big tour bus. The car was comfortable and held our luggage with no issues!
We had an excellent trip with Martin from our hotel in Tallinn to our hotel in Riga. He planned some very interesting stops along the way and was really informative about the history and culture of the area. It was a very enjoyable day.
Martins was our host and guide for a day trip to Riga. He was prompt, friendly, informative, professional and safe. Below the surface of those kind words is something more important; he is a man who loves his country and loves the opportunity to share it with others. He doesn't want you to just drive by and 'see' it, he wants you to feel it, taste it (literally) and experience in a way that leaves you with fond memories. We would not have wanted to do this tour with anyone else. We had three people on our trip, one of which had mobility issues which Martins was very mindful of. He remained flexible and always found a way to say yes. Martins serves as the highest and best example of ambassadorship and hospitality of this wonderful country.
