If you're traveling one way from Riga to Vilnius, we offer a scenic and culturally rich route filled with history and charm. Begin your journey at the medieval Bauska Castle, where two rivers meet beneath ancient walls. Continue to Rundale Palace, the “Baltic Versailles,” and walk through its grand halls and elegant gardens that tell stories of 18th-century nobility. Crossing into Lithuania, visit the Hill of Crosses, a deeply spiritual site where thousands of crosses stand as symbols of faith and resilience. This transfer is more than a ride — it’s a cultural adventure ideal for curious travelers, couples, and families eager to experience the Baltics beyond the usual route. Enjoy a comfortable 7–8 hour trip with a professional driver, complete with complimentary still water, coffee and WC breaks, and local lunch recommendations, before being dropped off directly at your accommodation in Vilnius.

Martins was so amazing and accommodating

Martins drove my friends and me from Tallinn to Riga on another tour a few days before this one, and we were fortunate enough to have him again for our journey from Riga to Vilnius. He was a wealth of knowledge along the way. He didn’t just drive us but he explained in detail some of the history with each place we stopped at. He even treated us to some cottage cheese desserts. While in Riga, I unexpectedly needed emergency surgery to have my appendix removed. Martins was flexible with postponing our original departure date until I was able to travel. He extended himself further and picked me up from the hospital while also offering to take my friends to the pharmacy and grocery store to make sure I had everything I needed during my recovery. This tour to Vilnius has been beautiful. I’m moving much slower than normal but Martins has made trip from Latvia to Lithuania very comfortable. This journey to Vilnius has been wonderful. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine care has made a challenging situation much easier. I highly recommend Martins for tours between Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Martins was outstanding! Going beyond a regular service to fill all the needs my family had during our trip to Vilnius. We even continued great conversation about everything in life (we started talking two days before this trip, in another trip we had with him to Tallin). I felt Martins like an old friend during our entire one day trip (Riga -Bauskas Castle - Rundhale Palace - The Hill of Crosses - Vilnius). He is such a great guy working hard for his family. One of the bests tour guide i have had in 69 countries i had visited. I definetely recommend him for any tour you require in The Baltics. You won't get disappointed.
