Latvia Tours

Join one of our Latvia holidays and step into a fairytale. With its enchanting architecture, history and art and its wild, breathtaking national parkland and coastal resorts, the Eastern European country has something to feed every traveller’s imagination.

Whether it’s Cēsis, an old town with cobbled streets on the Gauja River famous for it’s preserved medieval castle, or the Gutmanis Cave down river, there is plenty to explore on Exodus Latvia tours. And if you’re an architecture geek, Rundāle Palace is a must; commissioned by the Duke of Courland in the 18th century, it was designed by Italian architect Rastrelli, who also designed the world-renowned Winter Palace in St Petersburg.

Cycling in Latvia

Expert view: Cycling in Latvia

Cycling in Latvia means meandering through beautiful national parks and along idyllic coastal paths. On our Cycle the Baltics journey, travel through the bustling medieval city of Riga – the country’s capital, famous for its art nouveau buildings – then on to the beautiful town of Jurmala, with it’s unique wooden architecture and 19th-century Russian villas.

“Fantastically flat, and covering three seriously underrated countries, our Cycle the Baltics trip is a tour de force of experienced traveller kudos. Not many venture to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – which is half the appeal of these pleasingly quiet countries. Winding back roads reward relatively little effort with fantastically varied countryside, from wide windswept beaches to hushed pine forests, glistening lakes to picturesque castles perched atop hills. And you’ll hardly have to share it with a soul.”

An enjoyable holiday but wrongly classed as a walking holiday.
All the included walks were shorter than advertised and most of the walking was on city tours. There was a change to the itinerary from when I booked and instead of a walk to see sandstone cliffs on day 5 we had a 2.5 hour guided tour of Art Nouveau buildings in Riga. Acceptable on a cultural tour but not really appropriate when this is sold as a walking tour.
Most of the days were long, we rarely finished before 5pm and too much crammed in so that we always felt we were being rushed on to the next activity.
Hotels, apart from Islande Hotel at Riga, were good. Riga Hotel was just too big and almost impossible to get a seat at breakfast because of numerous large coach parties also at hotel.
Note for solo travellers paying single supplement – you will get a narrow single bed on at least 5 nights of the holiday.
