From the medieval streets of Tallinn to the Art Nouveau splendour of Riga and the baroque churches of Vilnius, there are countless treasures to discover.

Small groups, big experiences: Your advantage in the Baltics
Why is the Baltic region so ideal for a small group tour? The answer lies in the combination of its manageable size, diverse offerings, and the opportunity to explore off the beaten track. With a small group, you can visit places that are inaccessible to large tour groups. You can spontaneously accommodate participants' wishes and flexibly adjust the itinerary. You also have the chance to get in direct contact with the locals, gaining an authentic insight into Baltic life.
Our small group tours are aimed at travellers who value individuality, authenticity, and personal attention. Whether culture enthusiasts, nature lovers, or active holidaymakers – everyone will find the right option in the Baltics. We offer you a wide range of themed tours, from historical tours of Hanseatic cities to hikes through untouched natural landscapes.
Some providers specialise in certain aspects. Taruk.com for example, places great emphasis on culture and nature and offers tours with a maximum of 12 participants. Schnieder Reisen, on the other hand, specialises in active and thematic journeys, including cycling and rail trips. And BaltTours offers exclusive and personalised trips in very small groups with private tour guidance.
Culture and Nature in Harmony: Highlights of Your Baltic Trip
The Baltic region is rich in historic cities and impressive natural landscapes. On a small group tour, you have the opportunity to experience this diversity up close. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius and be enchanted by the medieval architecture and unique charm of these cities.
Riga captivates with its Art Nouveau architecture and the famous House of the Blackheads. Meanwhile, Tallinn impresses with its Hanseatic heritage and well-preserved old town. And Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, attracts visitors with its baroque churches and the charming artist district of Užupis. These cities are not only visually appealing but also rich in history and culture, waiting to be discovered by you. Learn more about our Baltic Sea group tours.
In addition to the cities, the Baltic region also offers stunning nature. The Curonian Spit, a unique dune landscape and UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, is an absolute must. The Lahemaa National Park in Estonia and the Gauja National Park in Latvia are also worth a visit. Here, you can hike, cycle, or simply enjoy the unspoiled nature.
Make the most of travel time: When the Baltics are at their most beautiful
The best time for a small group tour of the Baltics is from June to September. During these months, the temperatures are pleasantly warm and there is comparatively little rainfall. The days are long, providing plenty of time for exploration and outdoor activities.
In spring and autumn, the Baltics can be a bit cooler and rainier. However, prices are often more affordable and there are fewer tourists. The winter season also has its charm in the Baltics, especially for lovers of Christmas markets and winter landscapes. Please note, though, that some attractions and activities may not be accessible during the winter months.
Traveling to the Baltics is straightforward. There are numerous flight connections from Germany and other European countries to Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius. Studiosus, for instance, uses flights with Air Baltic. Alternatively, you can also travel by train or ferry. Schnieder Reisen offers cycling tours, for example, which make use of ferry connections to/from Germany.
Budget and Comfort: How to Plan Your Baltic Trip
The prices for a small group tour to the Baltics vary depending on the duration, comfort, and inclusivity. A basic 8-day round trip is available from approximately €1000 per person. For a 10-day trip with premium amenities including flights, you should expect to pay around €2800 per person.
Most providers offer transparent pricing structures and list all included services in detail. Pay attention to what is included in the price and any additional costs (e.g., for optional excursions or single room supplements) that may arise. Gebeco, for example, offers a 10-day trip from €1,675, including flights, accommodation in 4-star hotels, and some meals.
When choosing your accommodation, you are spoilt for choice. Everything from simple guesthouses to luxurious 4-star hotels is available. Many providers, such as Studiosus, focus on centrally located hotels with good amenities and local restaurants. The Baltic region also has a lot to offer in culinary terms. Be sure to try the Baltic specialties like Cepelinai (potato dumplings), Šaltibarščiai (cold beet soup), or Sklandrausis (sweet carrot cake).
Perfectly plan your trip: Your checklist for planning the Baltics
To find the right small group tour of the Baltics for you, you should ask yourself a few questions in advance. What are your interests and priorities? Do you mainly want to experience culture, explore nature, or be active? How important to you is a small group size and personal attention from the tour guide?
When choosing a provider, pay attention to the qualifications of the tour guide. Do they have extensive knowledge of the region and do they speak German? Does the provider offer flexible customisation options and optional excursions to meet your individual needs? For example, BaltTours offers private tours and customised options.
The issue of sustainability is also becoming increasingly important in travel planning. Look for providers that are committed to protecting the environment and supporting local communities. For instance, Studiosus offsets the CO2 emissions of its trips and supports local projects.

Choose eco-friendly means of transport: Use public transport, bicycles, or walk.
Support local businesses: Buy regional products and dine in local restaurants.
Respect nature: Avoid litter and stick to designated paths.
Baltikum Secrets: Discover Hidden Treasures
Besides the well-known attractions, the Baltic region also offers many hidden treasures that can be particularly well discovered on a small group tour. For example, visit the Estonian islands of Saaremaa and Muhu, which, with their untouched nature and traditional villages, offer an insight into the original Estonia.
Or explore the Latvian hinterland with its picturesque lakes and forests. Additionally, the Lithuanian coast beyond the Curonian Spit has much to offer, such as the resort town of Palanga or the Žemaitija National Park. These locations provide you with the opportunity to escape mass tourism and get to know the Baltic region from a completely different perspective. Ikarus Tours, with 50 years of experience, offers comprehensive group tours for this purpose.
Culinarily, there is also much to discover in the Baltics. Try the regional specialties and visit local markets and farms. This way, you gain an authentic insight into Baltic culture while supporting the local economy.
