What do we provide? Ahti Arak Tours offers travellers the opportunity to discover Estonia and neighboring countries Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus as well. Ahti Arak Tours offers the possibility to learn about the past of these countries, and become familiar with their present through the eyes of historian Ahti Arak or with the help of local tour guides. Our guides are experts in the history, culture, nature, and daily life of Estonia and the Baltics. Our tours are tailored to our guests' needs and interests, and can range from exploring busy inner city life to discovering intriguing niches off the beaten path that are inaccessible to larger and more commercial tour groups. In addition to providing basic tour services, we also provide assistance in finding accommodations anywhere in the Baltics and can arrange for other recreational activities, such as hiking, fishing, boating, culinary experiences, etc. We also offer services to people with special needs (young children, elderly, differently-abled, etc.) Transportation is available for both small and large groups as we can use cars, vans, and buses of all sizes. We can begin the tour at a point in Estonia or another aforementioned country and end it at another. Our route plans are always flexible and may be altered at any time during the tour to accommodate your interests and wishes. While we have provided services for many guests, we especially recall our "firsts." Our first individual tourist was Ms. Signe Kivi, former Minister of Culture of the Republic of Estonia, to whom we provided a tour to the Museum of Viljandi, the parochial collection of which is considered to be one of the most comprehensive ones in Estonia. Our first local group toured Viljandi during a Hanseatic Days festival; and our first foreign visitors were a happy bunch from Florida, USA! The majority of our visitors have come from the USA, but we have also helped to plan vacations for visitors from Great Britain, Germany, Finland, Greece, Latvia, Austria, Ukraine, China, and other countries. |
