Arrive in Warsaw
Warsaw Chopin Airport to your hotel, then the Royal Route
- Dinner
- Stay in Warsaw
- Drive about 30 min
Fly into Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW), about 10 km from the centre. A driver meets you in the arrivals hall at whatever time you land and takes you to your hotel near the Old Town.
Evening
To join the evening walk, land by about 3 pm. If you land later, the driver takes you to the hotel, where your guide leaves a note with the restaurant's address, and we keep your seat at dinner until about 8:30 pm. At about 5 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a short briefing on the ten days: two nights in Warsaw, a night in Białystok after the Białowieża forest, then two nights each in Vilnius and Riga and the last nights in Tallinn. Then we walk the northern end of the Royal Route, Krakowskie Przedmieście, past the university gates, the Presidential Palace and the Church of the Holy Cross, where Chopin's heart is kept in a pillar. The walk ends in Castle Square as the evening light reaches the rebuilt facades. Dinner together follows at a restaurant serving Polish food: soups, pierogi and whatever the season brings.
Included
- Pick-up at Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW)
- Welcome briefing with your guide
- Evening walk on Krakowskie Przedmieście to Castle Square
- Welcome dinner
Free time: Free until the evening briefing
Activity: About 2 km on foot, flat.
Warsaw Old Town and the Rising Museum
Warsaw on foot: the Old Town and the Royal Castle, then the Warsaw Rising Museum
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Warsaw
- Drive about 30 min
Warsaw's Old Town was almost entirely destroyed in 1944 and rebuilt from paintings, photographs and drawings; UNESCO listed it in 1980 as an example of that reconstruction. We start at 9 am with a licensed local guide, before the day groups: Sigismund's Column, the Market Square with its mermaid statue, the Barbican and the walls. Then the Royal Castle on a timed entry, blown up in 1944 and rebuilt in the 1970s and 1980s, where the Canaletto Room shows the views of the city that helped the rebuilding.
Afternoon
Lunch is a sit-down meal near the Old Town. In the afternoon a short drive takes us to the Warsaw Rising Museum, in an old tram power station, which tells the story of the 63 days of fighting in 1944 that led to the city's destruction. The museum is busy and intense, so we give it about two hours and leave the rest of the day free. In summer, the Sunday Chopin concerts by his monument in Łazienki Park are a good use of a free afternoon.
Included
- Guided walk of Warsaw Old Town with a licensed local guide
- Royal Castle, timed entry included
- Warsaw Rising Museum, entry included
- Sit-down lunch in the Old Town
Optional experiences
- Palace of Culture and Science viewing terrace
- Chopin Museum
- Łazienki Park and the Palace on the Isle
Easier option: Skip the Rising Museum and rest at the hotel; the guide brings you back in time for a free evening.
More active option: Walk back from the museum through the Mirów and Muranów districts with your guide, about 3 km.
Free time: Late afternoon and evening free
Activity: About 4 km on foot over the day, flat but on cobbles in the Old Town. The Royal Castle and the Rising Museum each close one day a week; we set the order of the days around them.
Białowieża Forest
Warsaw to Białowieża, then Białystok
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Białystok
- Drive about 4.5 h
We leave Warsaw at 8:30 and drive east through farmland to Białowieża, about three hours, with a coffee stop on the way. Białowieża Forest, on the border with Belarus, is one of the last large stands of the old lowland forest that once covered much of Europe, and is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. We start at the European Bison Show Reserve, where the animals that were saved from extinction here in the last century live in large forest enclosures with elk, tarpans and other native species.
Afternoon
Lunch is a sit-down meal in Białowieża village. At 2 pm a licensed park guide, required for every group, walks us into the Strict Reserve through the old gate: oaks, limes and spruces several centuries old, fallen trunks left to rot where they fall, and woodpeckers in the deadwood. The walk is about three hours on flat forest paths. Then we drive about an hour and a quarter to Białystok, arriving at about 6:30 pm.
Evening
The evening is free.
Included
- European Bison Show Reserve, entry included
- Guided walk in the Strict Reserve of Białowieża National Park with a licensed park guide, entry included
- Sit-down lunch in Białowieża
Easier option: Skip the Strict Reserve walk and spend the afternoon in the village park by the old palace ponds, a few minutes from the restaurant; we collect you on the way out.
More active option: Before lunch, walk the Żebra Żubra boardwalk, about 3.5 km, through wet forest near the village.
Free time: Evening free in Białystok
Activity: About 4.25 hours of driving in three stretches: Warsaw to Białowieża about 3 hours with a coffee stop, Białowieża to Białystok about 1.25 hours. About 5 km on foot on flat forest paths; bring insect repellent from May to August.
Białystok and over the border to Vilnius
Białystok to Augustów, then over the Lithuanian border to Vilnius
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Vilnius
- Drive about 4.5 h
Morning
After an early breakfast, at 8:30 we walk the gardens of the Branicki Palace, a Baroque residence built for the hetman Jan Klemens Branicki and often called the Versailles of Podlasie, then the long Kościuszko Market Square around the old town hall. Białystok was a multi-ethnic city before the war, and your guide shows us the traces of its Jewish quarter.
Afternoon
We leave at 10 am and drive about an hour and a quarter north to Augustów, a lake town on the 19th-century Augustów Canal, for a walk along the water and a sit-down lunch. After lunch it is about three and a quarter hours to Vilnius, with a coffee stop: past Suwałki, over the open border at Budzisko, where there are no routine checks, and on the motorway through Marijampolė and past Kaunas. Belarus lies between Białystok and Vilnius, so the road goes around it. Clocks go forward one hour in Lithuania, and we reach the hotel at about 6 pm local time. This is the longest drive of the trip, about four and a half hours in all, because Belarus blocks the direct road; the Augustów stop splits it.
Evening
The evening is free.
Included
- Walk in the Branicki Palace gardens and Kościuszko Market Square, Białystok
- Walk by the Augustów Canal
- Sit-down lunch in Augustów
Free time: Evening free in Vilnius
Activity: About 4.5 hours of driving in two stretches: Białystok to Augustów about 1.25 hours, then Augustów to Vilnius, about 265 km, about 3.25 hours with a coffee stop. Lithuania is one hour ahead of Poland.
Vilnius Old Town and Trakai
Vilnius on foot, then Trakai Island Castle and back
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Vilnius
- Drive about 1 h
Vilnius's Old Town, on the UNESCO list since 1994, is a web of Baroque churches, courtyards and crooked lanes.
Morning
We start at 9 am with a licensed local guide at the Gate of Dawn, the last of the city wall gates, where a chapel above the arch holds a revered painting of the Virgin Mary. Down Pilies street we reach Vilnius University, founded in 1579, and walk through its arcaded courtyards. We cross the little Vilnia river into Užupis, the artists' quarter with its constitution on a wall in dozens of languages, and end at Cathedral Square with the white cathedral and its bell tower.
Afternoon
At about 12:30 we drive 30 km west to Trakai for a lunch of kibinai, the baked pastries of the Karaim community, then cross the footbridge to the red-brick Island Castle on Lake Galvė. After the castle museum there is a short boat ride on the lake, weather permitting.
Evening
We are back in Vilnius at about 5:30 pm, and the evening is free.

Free time: Evening free
Activity: About 4 km on foot in the morning on cobbles with gentle hills, and about 1.5 km at Trakai, with stairs in the castle.
The Hill of Crosses and on to Riga
Vilnius to the Hill of Crosses near Šiauliai, then Riga
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Riga
- Drive about 4.5 h
Afternoon
Today's drive is about 345 km and a little over four hours, which we break at the Hill of Crosses and lunch. We leave Vilnius at 9 am and drive north-west past Panevėžys, about two and a half hours, to the Hill of Crosses, about 12 km north of Šiauliai.
Evening
Crosses were first set here after the uprisings against Russian rule in the 19th century; in Soviet times the hill was bulldozed more than once, and each time people came back at night to put them up again. Today there are tens of thousands, from tall carved wooden crosses to small rosaries that rattle in the wind. We give it an unhurried hour, and your guide explains what the carvings and inscriptions mean. Lunch is a sit-down meal nearby. Then it is about an hour and three quarters to Riga, over the Latvian border with no checks and across the flat farmland of Zemgale. We reach the hotel at about 4:30 pm, and the evening is free.
Included
- Hill of Crosses near Šiauliai
- Sit-down lunch near Šiauliai
Free time: Evening free in Riga
Activity: About 4.25 hours of driving in two stretches: about 2.5 hours from Vilnius to the Hill of Crosses and about 1.75 hours on to Riga. About 1.5 km on foot on gravel and grass paths.
Riga Old Town and Art Nouveau
Riga on foot: the Old Town, the Central Market and the quiet centre
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Riga
Riga's historic centre has been on the UNESCO list since 1997 for two things: the medieval Old Town and the ring of Art Nouveau streets around it. We start at 9 am with a licensed local guide: the Dome Cathedral, the Three Brothers, the oldest houses in the city, the Swedish Gate in the old wall, and the House of the Blackheads on Town Hall Square, rebuilt in the 1990s after wartime destruction. Then the lift up the tower of St Peter's Church for the view over the roofs and the river Daugava.
Afternoon
Lunch is at the Central Market, set in former Zeppelin hangars, where your guide orders smoked fish, rye bread, pickles and Latvian soups to share. Afterwards we walk past the Freedom Monument to Alberta iela, where the facades by Mikhail Eisenstein are covered in masks and faces, and visit the Riga Art Nouveau Centre, a restored apartment from the early 1900s; it is closed on Mondays, when we visit the Latvian National Museum of Art instead. We finish at about 3 pm, and the rest of the day is free.
Included

Optional experiences

Free time: Afternoon and evening free
Activity: About 5 km on foot over the day, mostly flat, with a lift up St Peter's tower. The Riga Art Nouveau Centre is closed on Mondays; on a Monday we walk Alberta iela and swap the Centre for the Latvian National Museum of Art.
Pärnu and on to Tallinn
Riga along the Via Baltica to Pärnu, then Tallinn
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Tallinn
- Drive about 4 h
We leave Riga at 9 am and follow the Via Baltica north along the Gulf of Riga, through the pine woods behind Saulkrasti and over the Estonian border with no checks, about two and a quarter hours to Pärnu, Estonia's summer resort town. A short walk takes in Rüütli street, the 17th-century Tallinn Gate, the wide sandy beach and the Art Nouveau Ammende Villa of 1905.
Afternoon
Lunch is a sit-down meal in town, and on a warm day there is time to put your feet in the sea. After lunch it is about an hour and three quarters across farmland and forest to Tallinn.
Evening
We reach the hotel by the Old Town at about 3:30 pm, with the rest of the afternoon and the evening free. Your guide can walk anyone who wants to the medieval walls and the Town Hall Square for a first look; the Old Town is quieter in the evening, once the cruise passengers have gone back to their ships.
Included

- Sit-down lunch in Pärnu
- Optional evening orientation walk in Tallinn with your guide
Free time: Late afternoon and evening free

Tallinn Old Town
Tallinn on foot: Toompea, then the lower town
- Breakfast and dinner
- Stay in Tallinn
Morning
We start at 9 am with a licensed local guide, before the cruise-ship passengers who fill Toompea from mid-morning in summer. Tallinn's Old Town has been on the UNESCO list since 1997, and much of its circuit of walls and towers still stands. First we climb to Toompea, the limestone hill where the nobility lived, past the onion domes of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the pink front of the parliament building. From the Kohtuotsa and Patkuli viewing platforms you look over the red roofs and spires to the harbour. Then we go down Pikk jalg, the steep 'long leg' lane, into the merchants' lower town: Town Hall Square and its Gothic Town Hall, the old Town Hall Pharmacy and the guild halls on Pikk street.
Afternoon
Lunch and the afternoon are yours: Kadriorg Park and its palace, the Telliskivi Creative City or the Seaplane Harbour museum.
Evening
In the evening we meet for a farewell dinner of Estonian food.
Included
- Guided walk of Tallinn Old Town with a licensed local guide

Optional experiences

More active option: Climb the narrow stairs of St Olaf's Church tower for the highest view over the Old Town, when it is open.
Free time: Afternoon free
Activity: About 3 km on foot over 3 hours, on cobbles with a steep section up and down Toompea.
Tallinn and home
Tallinn to Tallinn Airport
- Breakfast
- Drive about 15 min
Morning
The last morning is free. Have breakfast without hurrying, then go back to whatever you liked best: a coffee on Town Hall Square, a walk on the medieval walls at the Hellemann Tower, or the stalls along the Viru gate. Your hotel can hold your bags after check-out.
Evening
A driver takes you from the hotel to Tallinn Airport (TLL), only about 4 km and 15 minutes from the Old Town, at the time that suits your flight; your guide confirms the pick-up times the evening before and sees the first transfer off. The trip starts in Warsaw and ends in Tallinn, so book an open-jaw ticket; most travellers connect home through Helsinki, Warsaw, Frankfurt or another European hub. A flight at any time of day works. If you would like to stay longer, a ferry crosses the Gulf of Finland to Helsinki in about two hours, and we can book extra nights in Tallinn when you request the trip.
Included
- Drop-off at Tallinn Airport (TLL) at the time that suits your flight
Free time: Morning free
Activity: Any flight time works; the transfer is arranged around it.
- Warsaw2 nights
- Białystok1 night
- Vilnius2 nights

Wildlife and weather: Summer days are long and mild, rarely hot, with showers at any time; Tallinn has around 18 hours of daylight at midsummer. In Białowieża, May and June bring birdsong and fresh green, and mosquitoes; bison are easiest to see in the show reserve, while wild herds keep to the forest. May and September are cooler and quieter in the capitals.

Questions
What does the price include?
Nine nights in central hotels, 9 breakfasts, 7 sit-down lunches and 2 dinners, airport transfers at both ends, our own vehicle and driver from Warsaw to Tallinn, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, licensed local guides in each capital and in Białowieża, and every visit in the day plan, including the Royal Castle, the bison reserve and Trakai Castle.
How big is the group?
The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests and is never merged with another group, so everyone can hear the guide in the Strict Reserve and in narrow Old Town lanes, and the group fits around one table at lunch.
Who leads the trip?
A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group for all ten days, from the airport in Warsaw to the airport transfers in Tallinn. Licensed local guides join for the Old Town walks in all four capitals, and a licensed park guide leads the Strict Reserve walk, as Białowieża National Park requires. We name your guide when we confirm your dates.
How fit do I need to be?
Easy to moderate. Expect 2 to 3 hours on foot most days, on cobbles in the Old Towns, one steep climb up Toompea in Tallinn and about 5 km on flat forest paths in Białowieża. Every demanding walk has an easier option written into the day, and you can sit out any walk.
I am travelling solo. What does a room of my own cost?
A room of your own is from CAD 740 more, shown up front with no surprises at checkout. If you would rather share, ask when you request to book and we will try to pair you with another solo traveller of the same gender; if we cannot, you pay the shared price.
When is the best time to go?
May to September. June and July bring the longest days and the warmest weather for Pärnu's beach; May and September are cooler and quieter, with fewer cruise passengers in Tallinn and Riga. Białowieża is green from May, with mosquitoes in early summer. Showers come in any month.
How does booking work?
Pick your start date and send a request to book. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. The small group starts from CAD 4,340 per person sharing a room, with taxes; the private trip starts from CAD 7,810.
Can we travel privately or on our own dates?
Yes. Besides the small group, the trip comes as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, with your own guide and vehicle. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote hotels, transfers and local guides for you.
Do I need a visa for Poland and the Baltic states?
Canadian and US passport holders do not need a visa for short stays in the Schengen area, which includes all four countries. The EU's Entry/Exit System takes your fingerprints and photo on arrival, and the ETIAS travel authorisation is being introduced; we confirm its status when you book. We confirm the rules for your dates.
How long are the drives from Warsaw to Vilnius?
We split Warsaw to Vilnius over two days with a night in Białystok. Day 3 has about four and a quarter hours of driving, broken by Białowieża Forest; day 4 has about four and a half, broken by the Branicki Palace and lunch on the Augustów Canal, because the road has to go around Belarus. No other day goes over about four and a quarter hours.
Will we see bison in Białowieża, and do we go near Belarus?
Yes, at the European Bison Show Reserve, where bison live in large forest enclosures; wild bison in the open forest are a matter of luck. The forest runs up to the Belarus border, but we stay on the Polish side, and the road to Lithuania goes north around Belarus, never through it.
