  We ended up with a private tour and had a pick up from our hotel with choice of time. Great communication from Krista. Our driver Jānis arrived on time and was very friendly and knowledgeable. He pointed out areas and sights of interest and he found out the answers to any of our questions he was unsure of. We had an enjoyable day exploring the Hill of Crosses from Riga. He offered us the local drink and Latvian chocolate, as well of bottles of water.

  Janis was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting stories. We actually upgraded to the full-day tour, which in addition to the Hill of Crosses also included Jelgava Palace, Rundale Palace, and Bauska Castle, and it was well worth it! The minibus was warm and comfortable, and we were welcomed with a bottle of water and a candy, which was a lovely touch. Janis kept the journey engaging with insights into Latvian history and everyday life. Rundale Palace was absolutely mind-blowing—we could have spent an entire day there alone! There was also an opportunity to buy lunch at the palace stop. All in all, a very enjoyable and educational experience.

  The guide was early and waiting with the van warm. He was brilliant, he kept us informed and was a local to Riga. He gave us great info about the tour but also other Latvian traditions and places to eat. The Hill of Crosses isn’t huge but you can easily pass an hour and half there and we went in then off season. Great place to visit.

  It was a little boring, other than one stop, no where to have something to eat or drink and at least 1hr 40 each way, pilgrimage was beautiful but not worth the 64.00 pounds each to go, was cheaper to book at home. The driver was pleasant and knowledgeable but just not one of my best trips

  More then expected trip across the Latvia/Lithuania border enhanced by the guide experience with the engaging, knowledgeable and enthusiast Krista and her unexpected home delicacies and local tipple! Would definitely recommend the trip to a remarkable place, all the more for the genuine welcome and guided experience which greatly increased our knowledge of the countries concerned. Thanks!
