Baltic couple: Scandinavia + Baltic States

about the tour "Baltic couple: Scandinavia and the Baltics". We drove out, and it’s true, not very well: Kyiv covered with snow, impassable roads, roads blocked by trucks and abandoned cars. I had to literally wade through drifts and blockages, which, of course, could not but affect the state of the vehicle: first, one bus stopped near Chernigov (to the credit of the drivers, they managed to drag the bus to a gas station with a hotel and a toilet, and then all the time waiting they warmed the bus so that no one would freeze), and then the second one (apparently, the Motherland really did not want to let us go to Europe) could not start at the Ukrainian customs (after we were given passports and allowed to go further). The trip hung in the balance. . . There was an absolutely clear and real prospect of returning home without seeing anything. And only thanks to the heroic efforts of the director Zhanna Filippovna (I can imagine what it cost her: to find transport on Sunday under such weather conditions), the situation was corrected within a reasonable time - both buses were replaced (one was brought from Kyiv, the second was found in Belarus) and we were able to continue our trip. And then there was a cruising through Vilnius to Riga, a chic ferry Silja Festival Tallink (on which the children, stunned by what they saw, explored all its decks, shops, pools, famously danced in a disco - as there were no adventures of the previous days); royally majestic Stockholm, windy transparent Helsinki, fabulously bewitching Tallinn, mysteriously unique Riga, uniquely refined Vilnius. . . And the sun is everywhere, boring guides who are in love with their cities (especially in Stockholm and Vilnius), two more crossings on the aristocratic Viking Line and with an amazing buffet in the ferry buffet along the Baltic Sea among the ice and harsh northern landscapes with their discreet, discreet beauty, cozy clean hotels (Ecotel Vilnius in Vilnius and Centerhotel in Tallinn. And then there was the way home on their own - whole and working! -buses. The tour program was completed in full, despite the somewhat crumpled start of the trip; we visited all countries and cities. And all this was possible only thanks to the efforts of Zhanna Filippovna and the company's managers, who did everything possible and impossible to ensure that the tour took place and we saw everything, everything stated in the program. Thank you very much for this!!! Children are generally delighted with what they saw, heard, experienced and are ready to go somewhere even now. . . And Ukraine met with snowfall and rain (as we left, so we arrived). it is a pity that the beautiful fairy tale of Scandinavia and the Baltics ended so quickly! And more about the travel agency "Sakums": we have been cooperating with them for almost 4 years, there have been many trips both in Ukraine and abroad. And everything was always clearly organized, thought out to the smallest detail, the participants are always offered an interesting program. "Sakums" is an honest and reliable partner
