Overview

11 days guided E-BIKE cycling tour of the Baltics from Vilnius to Tallinn (Code G1E)

Travel by E-bike/Pedelec in small group on very scenic routes and explore the Baltic coast and the National Parks of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. 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 INFORMATION

Tour distances: cycling ~377 km/~236 mi., by minibus ~1350 km, by boat/ferry ~12 km

Cycling grade: We rate this trip as Easygoing, but with intensive tour program. Daily biking routes mainly on low traffic roads and cycle paths range from 28 to 58 km (18-36 miles each day). The terrain is varied and rolling with some gradual hills on some riding days (some steep ups and downs on the Curonian Spit and in the Gauja River valley) and dead flat most of the tour. It might be windy on some days. Our walking in the capital towns is along cobbled streets. You don’t have to be a regular cyclist but you should be reasonably fit and active.
