Are most people who are looking into this tour thinking about also going to Riga or just doing Moscow, St Petersburg, Stockholm and Helsinki???

Don't know what most people are doing. I am starting in Moscow just because I don't want to take 2 full weeks off at work. I've heard wonderful things about Riga, so if I could take time off, I would start in Riga.

I'm in for the entire trip, starting in Riga.

i am taking a full 2 weeks off work, so i will be starting in Riga.
if i had more time, i would continue this tour through the rest of scandanavia.

I just booked for September 28th, and I am starting in Riga. The dates work out with work etc., plus I have heard Latvia is beautiful. I also love World War history and sites, and I understand Velikiye-Luki (and the way there) is full of that kind of thing.

I'm going to book the entire tour. I've heard great things about Riga as well and i'm also interested in seeing Velikiye-Luki. Another thing is that if you arrive in Moscow You'll be three days behind in meeting people and making friends, while everyone else will have already been doing this for a little bit already.

I'm starting from Riga and doing the Scandinavia tour as well. Leaving August 11.

I'm starting in Riga and finishing through Scandinavia. Figured if I'm there I may as well see it all anyways and my Great-aunt was Latvian so I've always been interested in seeing it. Leaving June 22
