Special interest tours
During the last few years, we have seen an increase in requirements for special interest tours from clients, associations, clubs, and organizations, seeking tailored trips for members and employees.
We are pleased to prepare special programs for different societies, education institutions, professional associations, clubs, and trade associations.
We cooperate with State authorities and offer specialized tours in the following areas: Administration, art and music, agriculture, architecture, fashion, astronomy, technology, biology, economics, history, law, literature, politics, social work, religion, and education.
Tourists’ interests during the last few years have changed, as more tourists would like to concentrate their attention on their own interests and lifestyle and gain focused exposure to the Baltic Region.
We have created special programs for Culinary gourmet tourism, Art and Culture, music festivals, active sports (canoeing, hiking, and cycling), National parks and nature tours, Jewish history, Pilgrimages, golfers, SPA, and relaxation.
We have special tours for different clubs, including Rotary, Lions, Retro cars, and Harley bikers groups.
