Great Bike Tour of the Baltics (fully guided from Vilnius to Tallinn 2026)
О туре
Explore the Baltic coast and the National Parks of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia on very scenic routes. The tour includes the three capital cities – Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn – with their Old towns designated as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO; and the previously-closed Curonian Spit and the largest and most beautiful Estonian island of Saaremaa. Travel from Lithuania in the south, through Latvia and on to Estonia in the north; experience a wide variety of towns, villages and countryside for an excellent introduction to the very distinct characters of these quite different countries.
Tour distances: cycling ~355 km / 222 miles, by coach ~1195 km/747 miles, by boat/ferry 12 km/8 miles.
Cycling grade: We rate this trip Easygoing to Moderate with intensive tour program. Daily biking routes mainly on low traffic roads and cycle paths range from 25 to 58 km (16-36 miles) each day. The terrain is varied and rolling with a few gradual hills on some riding days (a few steep ups and downs on the Curonian Spit) and dead flat most of the tour. The tour covers all three Baltic States and therefore it includes a few long bus transfers between the most interesting cycling destinations and the capital cities. Our walking sightseeing tours in the capital old towns are along cobbled streets.
