Latvia Tours & Holidays
Trips to Latvia open up a country of cobbled medieval lanes, deep pine forests and a Baltic coastline most travellers never reach. Come for Riga, stay for the wild edges.
Latvia is the quiet middle of the Baltic trio, a low-lying, forested country where roughly half the land is woodland and the rest is laced with rivers, dunes and old Hanseatic towns. Riga, the capital, is one of Europe’s great Art Nouveau cities, its UNESCO-listed Old Town a warren of cobbled lanes, spires and merchant houses that traded furs and amber long before the rest of the region modernised. Most latvia tours pair a couple of nights here with the white sands of Jūrmala, the wooden timber towns of Kuldīga, or the manor houses and lake country of Latgale, and trips to Riga alone barely scratch the surface of what the country offers. Latvia sits naturally on a wider Baltic loop with guided Estonia tours and Lithuania, which is why most of our journeys cross at least one border.
We’re a small group tour specialist rather than a mass-market operator, so every latvia holiday package we run is capped at 12 travellers and led throughout by a dedicated English-speaking tour leader who knows the region in depth. You’ll travel with people who’d rather meet a Latgalian potter than tick off a coach-park castle, and stay in characterful 4 and 5-star hotels chosen for location and atmosphere. Our small group guided tours include rail and rail-and-sea options for travellers who prefer to skip the airport, and there’s no compulsory single supplement on any of our Latvia holidays.
Tour Packages Overview
1. Christmas Markets of Northern Europe Flight Free Adventure
11 days, from £3,795 per person
You begin under the Gothic vaulting of London’s St Pancras and arrive in Riga two countries and several Christmas markets later, having travelled by Eurostar and first-class European rail through Cologne, Hanover, Berlin, Poznan and Warsaw. Evenings sound like brass bands and clinking mugs of glühwein; days are split between unconventional walking tours and Baltic Old Towns dusted with snow. View full itinerary →
2. London to Gdansk via the Baltics Rail & Sea Adventure
14 days, from £4,995 per person
Bigger in scope and slower in pace, this fully escorted journey pairs first-class trains with a luxury overnight ferry through the Stockholm Archipelago into Tallinn, then continues south through Riga and Vilnius before finishing in Gdansk. Along the way you join a Nordic food tour in Stockholm, walk one of Lahemaa National Park’s coastal trails, share dinner in a Lithuanian family’s own home, and take a communist-themed tour of Gdansk that ends at the European Solidarity Center.

3. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania – Baltic Explorer
14 days, from £3,485 per person
A two-week overland exploration of all three Baltic capitals plus the quiet fishing villages, dunes and pine forests in between, telling the story of how Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius repainted themselves after Soviet rule. The route weaves from Hanseatic Old Towns to wooden manor houses, from amber workshops on the coast to the wide Baltic beaches that locals quietly keep to themselves. View full itinerary →

Simply amazing!
Some inspiration from our blog
Riga is the obvious draw, with its UNESCO-listed Old Town and one of Europe's densest collections of Art Nouveau architecture, though trips to Riga alone miss much of what makes the country special. Beyond the capital, the highlights are quieter: the white-sand beaches and pine woods of Jūrmala, the gentle waterfalls and timber houses of Kuldīga, the lake country and Catholic churches of Latgale, and the working amber workshops along the Baltic coast. Most of our Latvia holidays weave at least two of these into a single itinerary.
