Gray sea air and cobbled streets meet in the first light over Tallinn’s Old Town, where the group assembles and a guide sketches the route for the week: medieval towers, windswept coastal cliffs, and river valleys cut into sandstone. The tour moves with a steady, public-transport rhythm—three nights in Tallinn, three in Riga and a final night in Vilnius—linking capital-centre hotels with regional day trips.
