This will be full day trip and Local restaurants for lunch will be advised by our driver. Please inform us in advance if you have any detours in mind and we will adjust the route accordingly, we're flexible! Turaida castle - Before the stone Turaida Castle was built beginning in 1214, there was a wooden castle there that had been built by the Livs. The Turaida Castle was owned by the bishop of Rīga. It remained in place until 1776, when it burned down. The initial entrance to the castle's main tower was 9 m above ground, and in 1936, a viewing platform was installed at a height of 27 metres. There is no other view in Latvia that is like the one from the Turaida Castle! Restoration work at the castle began in 1953, when the upper level of the tower was restored and a roof was installed. The castle now contains a museum exhibition related to the historical events of the surrounding area. Pärnu town - Pärnu Is a resort seaside city (and Estonia's summer capital) with a small harbour in south-western Estonia. The city is known for its spas, shallow white sandy beach and beautiful parks. It is also a popular place for conferences, theatre performances and concerts. In 1838 the first spa was opened and nowadays Pärnu is a health resort of international stature. During the Great Northern War, the University of Tartu was relocated to Pärnu from 1699-1710. Tartu University still has a branch campus there today. Since 1996 Pärnu has been known as Estonia's Summer Capital. Beach life, dozens of festivals, cozy old town with restaurants, concerts and funfairs - Pärnu has it all.

5.00Our driver was great! Picked up us promptly and helped with our luggage. He spoke English fluently and shared so much information about Latvia and Estonia. We had lots of laughs. Really enjoyed our drive. We took a little extra time in Parnu so we could have lunch. He didn’t mind. Great day!
Great way to get from Riga to Tallinn!

5.00Our driver, Martin, was a very nice person to spend the day with going to Estonia. He stopped at the sites and helped us get started. He was not in a hurry and stopped when we needed a break. We learned a lot about life in the Baltics conversing with him. We highly recommend traveling by automobile. You can really see the countryside and you are picked up at your hotel and delivered to your next hotel.
Very good and...

5.00We took this trip from Riga to Tallinn. It was great to get breaks on the long drive and see some interesting sights including the castle and the seaside town of Pernu. Our driver, Artis, was a man of few words but very friendly, professional and answered any questions we had. We asked him to drive us to the beach at Pernu which was quite an experience as the sea was completely frozen! The car was clean and comfortable. We were given free bottles of water which was a nice gesture. I'd 100% recommend this trip
The driver was very nice...

5.00We used this trip as a transfer from Riga to Tallinn. It took included two stops. One was to a castle we had already visited, so the tour operator graciously substituted another stop. All in all, the trip was excellent. Our driver, Karlis, gave us plenty of time to sightsee and enjoy an afternoon snack. I highly recommend this as the best way to go city to city.
Fantastic trip - Highly recommend!!!

5.00We had a wonderful trip with Ivars from Riga to Tallinn, stopping at many sites along the way so we felt we had a real feel for Latvia as well as a lovely stop at the seaside resort of Parnu in Estonia. The van was very clean and comfortable and Ivars was great company, sharing lots of insightful stories about life in Latvia.
Great trip!

5.00Such a lovely way to move between cities! Andris was a fantastic driver/guide and had such a relaxing time on the trip. I had more than enough time to see and investigate the wonderful stops along the way and Andris also made a quick stop so I could walk on the beach and see the Baltic Sea. I highly recommend this tour - everything was great!
