Testimonials

My mates and I can thoroughly recommend. A very friendly company, everything was arranged perfectly for our 4 day trip exploring the wonderful country of Lithuania. We go somewhere every year since 23 years, and this was the first time using e-bikes. It was also one of the best! The bikes supplied were excellent. All my communications with Saulius the owner were easy and friendly and very efficient. Easily a 10 out of 10 experience. Nei Watson, Great Britain, 2022
Dear Baltic Bike Travel Team, We would like to thank you very much for the perfect organization of the bike tour from Vilnius to Tallinn. Everything worked out great - even the weather played along with sun, sun, sun. Igor was a great travel companion who did his job confidently in every situation - with a high level of commitment and obvious joy. We are taking home many very good impressions from the three Baltic states. Gitta and Steffen Hoy, Germany, 2021 (self-guided supported cycle tour of the Baltics: from Vilnius to Tallinn, SG11)
I was part of Ann Scolnick's tour from Tallin to Vilnius. I was extremely pleased and satisfied with our tour. The organization, and hotels were excellent. Our meals outside of the hotels were better than the ones provided in the hotels. The best part of our tour was our guide Vaida! She was exceptional, in fact better than any guide I have had during any of my extensive travels. I will recommend your company to my friends, and hope they also will be lucky enough to have such a wonderful guide.
Ginny Hackney, USA, 2015 (G1 tour in opposite direction Tallinn-Vilnius)
The cycling trip has been the highlight of the year my life :) for me. It was 10/10 all the way. I wouldn't change a thing and have told my friends they should go.
Thank you so much for an incredible experience. I knew little about your part of the world . . . and now I only want to know more. The Curonian Spit is beautiful. It's all beautiful.
Plus, with the help of Redas and Igor I was able to make a detour and find the house my uncle built where my mom lived in the Kaliningrad Oblast until 1945.
Kudos to each of you for making me feel welcome and for anticipating and meeting my interests and needs. Seriously, you guys are amazing!!
Gabriele Goldstone from Winnipeg, Canada, 2019 (self-guided supported cycle tour from Klaipėda to Gdansk, SG18x)
My wife and I loved the Baltic self-guided tour of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The route selected meant each day had a good piece of riding on quiet roads or bike paths through interesting countryside plus stops in all of the major cities and towns. Our small group got on very well together.
Simon Flowers, Switzerland, 2015 (self-guided tour of the Baltics: Tallinn to Vilnius)
Yes we had a good trip. Saw some nice nature and pleasant villages. The hotels were also good. And the bikes. The driver drove us fast and safe from / to Riga. And we were lucky with the weather. Just a few drops of rain the last day. Mostly sunny. It rained a lot more in Sweden during that week. Best regards,
Hans Brandtberg, Sweden, 2013 (tour SG1, along the Lithuanian Seaside)
I just finished my third trip with Baltic Bike Tours, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! I have done every variation on fully independent, semi-supported and fully guided trips across Europe, Asia and Australia, and I wholeheartedly feel that Baltic Bike is the best. I did two trips as designed (Riga to Tallin and Vilnius to Klaipeda), and one trip that I designed with help from Saulius. The equipment is extremely reliable, BBT's knowledge is stellar and most of all, they are flexible and lovely to work with. I asked for something quite out of the ordinary and Saulius was the only provider in all of Lithuania and Poland who would help me work it out so I could do the trip I wanted. They are an extraordinarily helpful, reliable and fun tour operator. Thank you Saulius!

Our cycling-group has spent 10 days in Lithuania and explored your country on Baltic Bike Travel route “Vilnius-Curonian Spit-Klaipeda" – we all want to thank you again for your efforts and great assistance in planning and organizing our individual intentions to realize our this years cycling idea.
Ludwig Enser, Germany, 2012 (tour SG2, Lithuania – from the capital to the Seaside)
Now we are back from a most interesting and well-organized "Baltic Capital City" guided bicycle tour. We have cycled in France, Italy, Scotland, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Greece, Germany, the Czech Republic and Ireland in all kinds of landscapes ... so we have some guided cycle tours to compare with. My husband and I are so very satisfied with the whole tour. It was just what we expected except for some extra positive factors...
Anita Bostrom-Baversten, Sweden, 2011 (tour G1)
Wishing to see a part of the world we knew little about, we 6 friends took a chance on BalticBike and were not disappointed. We had great support on our custom trip from Vilnius to Tallinn, including the support we had for an unexpected trip to the emergency room in Lithuania. The contrast of the capital cities and the rural national parks was visually impressive. We would not hesitate to recommend BalticBikes, professionally managed from start to finish.
