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.”

Finally got to do this trip which was on my bucket list before the pandemic. It was certainly worth the wait and lived up to all my expectations. This is one of the best Exodus trips I have travelled on. I find ex-Soviet countries fascinating and we certainly got a good introduction to the histories of all 3 countries together with an insight into their views about the current situation. This was due to the generous ways in which both our guide Andrius and the local guides were prepared to share some of their experiences from less liberal times. It was all very thought provoking and led to some thoughtful discussion between fellow travellers. But on a lighter note – the itinerary was more varied than I was expecting. We saw capital cities, medieval streets, Art Nouveau architecture, crumbling and restored castles, fishermen’s wooden cottages, Soviet elite holiday homes, a palace built in the time of the Tsars , a decommissioned nuclear bunker, museums, art galleries and some ex-KGB “facilities”. Trips into the countryside were also included, we visited the sea in all 3 countries, some fantastic national parks and drove through wonderful forests. Even the weather was on our side – I could be forgiven for thinking the Baltics are countries where the spring sun creates beautiful dappled patterns whilst glinting through the fresh green forest foliage. It only rains when you are in the bus between destinations! However, there was also a heatwave in Southern Europe, so future travellers should not take too much notice of this comment.
