Baltic Holidays 'As Seen In' The Press
To many, Belarus conjures up images of the former Soviet Union - a communist regime, concrete blocks and tractor factories...OK, so some of these characteristics do still exist and some are even worthy attractions in themselves, but don’t be deceived. There’s a whole lot more to Belarus.
Belarus is quirky and full of contrasts. Cities are packed with high-rise Soviet blocks but as you venture in to the countryside you’ll discover picturesque wooden houses with blooming gardens and home-grown produce. Look out for beautiful medieval castles in various states of repair. Some have been abandoned to nature, whilst others (like Mir Castle) have been preserved in all their glory, earning their status as recognised UNESCO World Heritage sites.
For those with an open mind, Belarus provides much to see and do. Appreciate the history, be sensitive to the present situation and be willing to join in the local entertainment. You’ll have no regrets!
Belarus is on the brink of change, there's no other place in Europe like it. See it in all its unique glory now.

We’re ready to create your dream trip to Belarus
In Minsk our guide Helen was spectacular. She was very informative and accommodated changes as we went along. It was a real treat to visit her parents and their dacha. Our guide in Palanga was Vytaute and she was probably the best guide we have had in the world. She was lively, extremely informative, made changes and recommended changes as we went along. We had dinner at her parents restaurant. This was a real treat and we enjoyed the experience as well as meeting and dining with her parents. This is what we really like. We like restaurants with no tourists. The hotel choices were outstanding and all of our guides were superb. The guides were knowledgable, informative and accommodating. They wanted to make sure we had a good experience and learned about their country/city. Not many recommendations for improvement. This is the sign of an excellent well prepared tour operator. You were able to provide us with a memorable trip.
