Itinerary

day 1

Welcome to Estonia

Tallinn, one of the most beautiful cities in Northern Europe!
Show maps

International flights are not included in the package, so you can decide which airport to leave from, at what time and with the airline you prefer... This is to give you maximum freedom of choice.

Check in at the hotel in Tallinn and welcome meeting. We have just arrived in what is often referred to as one of the most beautiful capitals in Northern Europe and we will soon discover why: the capital of Estonia is a fairytale place, with a UNESCO World Heritage Old Town, a major port and a really lively nightlife...can we ask for more?

On top of that, Estonian cuisine offers ancient culinary traditions, so if you are a foodie you can try the restaurants in Tallinn and sample typical Estonian dishes, including stews, pies, meat dishes and sauerkraut and potatoes.

Not included: meals and drinks

Toompea Castle and Hill

Good morning Weroaders and good morning Tallinn, it's time to get on the road!

After a hearty breakfast we will walk up Toompea Hill: here we will admire the views and enjoy Toompea Castle, or Toompea loss, the seat of the Estonian parliament and a national symbol.

The castle can be visited inside only one or two days a week so we'll probably have to settle for admiring it from the outside but it's still worth it... and a good way o get a few steps in!

We will then check the oldest church in Estonia, Toomkirik, which the hill is named after. We will also visit the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and St Nicholas Church before stopping for lunch.

Tallinn's old town, a UNESCO heritage site

Let's start our tour of the old town along Pikk Street, one of the most beautiful and unusual streets in Tallinn! Remember this number: 71... because that's where we'll find the House of the Blackheads, one of the most beautiful buildings in the city and seat of the ancient brotherhood.

We will then continue along Vene Street, the ancient street of Russian merchants, before reaching St Catherine's Passage, in Estonian Katariina käik, one of the most fascinating places in town.

SPOILER ALERT: this area is full of artisan shops where you can look for the perfect souvenir!

Last but not least is St Olaf's Church, one of the oldest buildings in the city. Built way back in 1267 and dedicated to King Olaf II of Norway, it was for a long time the tallest building in Europe. We will also go up the bell tower to admire a splendid view of the city after climbing 256 steps: who's up for it?

The port of Tallinn is one of the most important in the region with ferries leaving to numerous destinations: one of these connects the Estonian capital to the Finnish capital, Helsinki. In just two hours we can fully cross the Gulf of Finland and reach a bonus country on our travels – so let’s do it!

Helsinki is a walkable city, lively and full of things to see. First stop is Kauppatori, the beautiful port market where we can have a morning break once we get off the ferry.

We can then visit the stunning Temppeliaukion Church, a Lutheran church carved into the rock, before making our way to Senate Square with its beautiful cathedral. We clearly cannot miss a taste of some traditional Finnish food before returning to Tallinn for another unforgettable evening together!

From Estonia to Latvia

See you next time Tallinn, it was a real pleasure!

Time to get on the coach that will take us to Riga, the beautiful capital of Latvia. The journey will last about 4 hours so let's get comfortable, get our headphones out of the backpack and dust off the old playlists!

Welcome to Latvia: exploring local traditions
Show maps

Riga is a historic city – but its ancient charm coexists with a young heart: with over 800 buildings in Art Nouveau style, the capital of Latvia is an absolutely unmissable destination for architecture enthusiasts.

Famous for its charming old town, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its cafés and restaurants are always full of people. This city has enough to steal our hearts and... our tastebuds!

To start off on the right foot, we have to start from the local traditions – beer, for example! And we will do it in a very particular way :-)

Included: bus and beer tasting included

Old Town and House of the Black Heads

After a good night sleep we are ready to explore beautiful Riga. We will start with one of the most iconic and famous buildings in the city – the House of the Black Heads! Built way back in the 14th century, when it was the headquarters of the German merchants' guilds, it was completely destroyed during the Second World War, so the one that can be visited today is actually a faithful reconstruction of the original.

We will then enter the old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and after navigating through characteristic narrow streets, buildings with extraordinary architecture and small clubs and shops we will finally arrive in Cathedral Square, the true heart of the old city and one of the most important and beautiful squares in all of Riga.

Lunch at Riga Central Market and street art tour

For lunch we can't miss the Central Market. Arranged around 5 different hangars, where Zeppelin airships were once built, today this is the perfect place to get lost and observe Riga's everyday life go by. We'll find something for everyone here: clothes, souvenirs, products of all kinds and, last but not least, food!

And now that we have a full stomach, how about some street art? Riga has quite a few walls to see, especially made during the Blank Canvas Street Art Festival… will we be able to find any? And following in the footsteps of street art, we can't help but end the day in Miera Iela, the city's most hipster neighbourhood, full of vintage shops, art galleries and multi-purpose businesses that combine bookshops with barber shops and cafés. A young and constantly buzzing neighbourhood, the ideal place for a beer!

Coach journey

Morning, it's time to get going again!

It only takes a few hours by coach to reach Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. Its magnificent Baroque centre (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) as well as its wealth of monuments and works of art and a lively international community make Vilnius a favourite amongst backpackers and all those who love culture and history but who don't want to give up on fun and good time. It sounds just like us, so here we go!

The Independent Republic of Uzupis
Show maps

Before entering the old town of Vilnius it is worth visiting one of the peculiarities of this city: the Independent Republic of Uzupis!

In 1997, the Uzupis district of Vilnius declared its independence, complete with postage stamps, passports (will we get it stamped?) and a Constitution with 41 clear articles.

In the Republic of Uzupis – a real city within a city – cats and dogs are free to do as they please and the army is made up of a group of twelve artists.

The neighbourhood, once rather seedy and dangerous, has been then transformed following and invasion of intellectuals and artists: it is a picturesque place, full of cafés and art galleries, which many compare to Montmartre in Paris.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

Is the flight included?

Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.

Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!

What is the Money Pot and how does it work?

This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!

The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. 

It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group. 

It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.

You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.

The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.

It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.

It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.

If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.

The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.

If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.

Which are the accepted payment methods?

We offer several payment methods to fit every need:

1. Credit or prepaid card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express);
2. Instalment payment with Scalapay up to €4,999 (only available with the “Full trip payment” option – not available with the “Deposit and balance” option; pay in 3 instalments up to €1,200 or in 4 instalments over €1,200);
3. PayPal (for selected destinations);
4.
Revolut Pay to pay even faster straight from your Revolut account;
5.
Welfare credit – BEFORE BOOKING, reach out to us at [email protected].

If you choose the deposit and balance option, you’ll also be able to pay the balance via bank transfer from your Personal Area.

Can I cancel or modify my booking?

Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. (Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.) If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.

If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option. Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.

You can do it directly from your personal MyWeRoad account!
 
Within your booking you will find the "Change Your Trip" section at the bottom right, just underneath your booking details. You will be able to select a different date for the same trip, or a different trip entirely. Whether you are able to change the trip depends on the cancellation terms of your booking. For your original booking if you selected the Private Room, Flexible Cancellation or entered any discount code, gift card or voucher, before confirming the change we will let you know if anything isn't applicable to the new trip and you can decide whether to proceed or not. If you have any issues please do get in touch with the WeRoad team and we'll be able to help. 
 
It's not possible to move to a 'sold out' trip and with any trips that are 'on request' we will need to check availability with our local partners so please do get in touch if you want to move to an 'on request' trip. Please bear in mind that if the trip has the 'final spots' status, there may be no places left in either the male or female room.

How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.

What type of accommodation should I expect on your trips?

In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.

For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.

The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!

Why do we have the Money Pot on all WeRoad trips?

If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!

Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group. 

But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements! 

It also helps us speed up paymentsimagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.

In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants. 

The amount of the money pot is specified in each trip – look for this button

which will take you to a detailed breakdown for each trip, like this:

Can I find out my travel groups' flights?

Even if we don't know the flights of all WeRoaders, there are several ways to find out which flights your travel companions have purchased.

1. Each WeRoader has the ability to communicate their flight details after booking within their personal area so that other travel companions can see the details anonymously. Enter your booking and you will find this section:
[Screenshot]

2. If you want to find out before booking, instead, you can contact us and we will support you in your search or you can ask your travel companions for direct information by joining our Facebook group 'WeRoad... let's get to know each other before leaving! (official)' – (here is the extended link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weroadit) look for a post associated with your trip, or ask the group administrators for help in getting in touch with your future adventure companions!

If the coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you are interested in, you can easily find his/her presentation post in the group through the site: in the shift list click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip tab, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator name] about this shift in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!

[screenshot]

 



What's the average size and age of a WeRoad group?

In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.

On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.

All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curious to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can see this by finding the trip on our website, and clicking the down arrow to see the ages & genders of participants. You'll need to have created a WeRoad account with us to do this.

Any issues finding this info just give our team in the office a call, we're always happy to help! 

Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.  

Can I see who’s in the group before I book the trip?

Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking – although, in our opinion, that kind of spoils the surprise! You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked. Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!

Will I share the room?

Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.

There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.

During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.

Who is and what does the Travel Coordinator do?

The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!

You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.

How can I be part of the community?

When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.

But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
