Rundale Palace shouldn’t be missed. Bauska Castle and Hill of Crosses on this trip are a very interesting bonus

5.00Jnis was a wonderful local guide who regaled us with stories of his family and Latvia. A good knowledge of European history helped to make it a truly memorable trip.
Nice trip with Janis!

5.00Very nice trip with a fun and knowledgeable Janis! The trip went from Riga to Lithuania where Janis took us on fine sights. He seems to have a lot of knowledge about the different things we experienced on the trip. He also had many funny and interesting stories that had nothing to do with the trip, it was a very nice additional service.
Excellent day trip!!!
