This tour visits Estonia, a country with a very small tourism industry although this provides a valuable source of income to a wide sector of the community. We visit smaller less tourist frequented towns as well as the major cities. We use local guides and drivers throughout the course of the tour and endeavour to avoid large tourist agencies, arranging as much as we can with local people.
Our use of overnight trains on this tour offers a far more environmentally sustainable way of travel between our destinations where totally environmentally-friendly guided walking tours are scheduled rather than the use of private motor transport.
We use family-run accommodation providing a direct income to local people and our clients are encouraged to use locally-owned restaurants and cafes rather than international or chain establishments.
Our tour leaders advise all clients of our responsible travel policy and give them the necessary guidance on local customs and traditions, reminding them of the need to take nothing but photographs and leave nothing but footprints whilst visiting the nature reserves and historic sites included in the tour.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
