Very cool way to travel from Riga to Vilnius, with tour stops the whole way - This was a fantastic tour that was exactly what we were looking for.....transportation from Riga to Vilnius, but still get to see the cool sites in the middle. The guide picked us up right on time in the Riga hotel and was able to provide lots of Latvian history even know the company is Lithuanian based. We had plenty of time to explore all three sites, and guide was helpful at each. I would definitely recommend this tour if you need one way transportation between the cities, it was a great choice.
