What to Expect
Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are now modern, cosmopolitan countries with well-developed tourism infrastructure. Much of what draws travelers to their capitals and major cities is the exceptional preservation of historic centers, and as in many of Europe's old towns, cobblestoned streets, uneven surfaces, steep staircases, and buildings without elevator access are simply part of the landscape. This program features long days walking and standing while touring, along with time in the touring vehicle. Travelers should be able to walk one to two miles a day at the group's pace, negotiate cobblestones and uneven surfaces that may be steep or wet, and manage situations without handrails or ramps. Only those fit to travel and prepared for these conditions should consider joining.
Flexibility is part of traveling well anywhere, and particularly so here. Some last-minute adjustments to the itinerary may be unavoidable, and while we do our best to communicate changes in advance, the nature of travel in this region does not always make that possible.
