CYCLE THE BALTICS

Good trip for covering 3 countries in 11 days but very disappointing to find that the terrain was extremely flat so certainly not moderate in terms of difficulty. Should be regraded to easy.

Most Inspirational Moment

Picturesque towns and cities in all 3 countries and staying at a Manor House in Estonia.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Piotr was a good leader with clear instructions. Thomas replaced Piotr for the second half of the trip so although he bonded with the group quickly some members of the group decided to do their own thing which led to a widely dispersed group which was harder to handle.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Good trip for those who like flat terrain and virtually no hills.

Most Inspirational Moment

Lucas was a very informed personable leader: The Coach driver, who's name I have forgotten was fantastic, helpful, safe, always ready to adjust the bikes

Thoughts on Group Leader

Try to have more lunch time picnics: too much time wasted on long lunch breaks

Advice for Potential Travellers

Transfers far too long and the heavy German back pedal brake bikes need to be replaced

Reply from Exodus

We would like to thank Andrea for posting a review about her recent cycling holiday to the Baltics; we really appreciate client feedback and are working to improve the issues Andrea has raised. As this trip covers a lot of ground, some long transfers are needed, but we feel that most clients enjoy viewing the scenery on the way. The fleet of bikes is going to be replaced for next season (2015), so we expect that this will make the cycling much more enjoyable. We certainly agree that it would be good to have more picnic lunches during this trip and we will endeavour to put more emphasis on this for future departures.

Cycle the Baltics

A good cycling trip, visiting amazing places (especially Tallinn and Riga) that was let down by the poor quality of the bikes, arriving to towns too late to visit the places of interest and inaccuracies in the trip notes.

Most Inspirational Moment

Spending a day in Riga, seeing a wild beaver in the city park, the amazing architecture and the site of the very first Christmas tree. Witches Hill was also impressive.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very friendly, knowledgeable, sociable and eager to please and support the group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Apparently Lithuania translates as Land of the Rain and it certainly lived up to its name, perhaps we were unfortunate with the weather but definitely bring your wet weather gear. Also the currency in Latvia is the Euro and not the Latvian Lat as the trip notes state (Estonia and Latvia have the Euro and Lithuania still has Litas - though they too are scheduled to move to the Euro in 2015)

Reply from Exodus

We’re glad that Grad enjoyed his cycling trip overall, but are sorry that he didn’t feel the bikes provided were the most suitable. We have been using traditional European upright bikes for this trip which, whilst we agree may be a bit heavy, we have generally found to be suitable for the flat terrain. We are, however, looking into the bikes used on this trip. An Exodus staff member has recently joined a departure of this trip and has subsequently made recommendations about lunch stops and suggested improvements for the trip notes which we hope will benefit future clients.
