Estonia holidays
Imagine Finland about 100 years ago, with saunas, river swimming and love of wilderness – that’s Estonia holidays & Estonia tours for you. Estonia exudes a joie de vivre, and one that is fundamentally connected with nature. As well as a national pride, post independence from Soviet Russia in 1991. During this period many of the national parks were preserved, thankfully, so you can cycle or hike through the likes of Lahemaa National Park, an eclectic mix of ancient bogland, pine forests and coast.

Tips?
Go a bit early and spend some extra time in Stockholm.
Local benefits?
It benefited local people from us dining in the smaller restaurants and shopping in the markets. We had a full size tour bus but only 20 people so our carbon

Memorable parts?
Each day was memorable, if I had to choose, perhaps the Curonian Spit cycle.
Tips?
Perhaps take an extra day to see Vilnius and Tallinn at the beginning and end of the holiday.

I thought the bog walk (the one using the bog shoes as opposed to the one on the boardwalks) was a unique and amazing experience. I loved the dune and beach walk. (more)Barbara Bilgre
