Great tour highly recommended lots of tips and information. - Great trip, easy collection and drop off. Driver/guide was full of information and helpful, offering extra stops for toilets etc if needed. We also stopped in Jelgava which was a nice surprise. Tour was more like 6 hours. Suggest taking your own food and drinks as vending machine at the hill of crosses is limited. Toilets there cost €1 in cash but does give change. Great way to see something different and get an extra country under your bel. Driver also recommended we see the art nouveau district of Riga which I did today with a self walking audio guide and it was well worth it, as well as the library viewing platform across the river. Mini bus was a great size and very tidy and warm!

Amazing tour! - This day trip was amazing… going to see this place had been a goal for me for such a long time, and this tour was ideal. Not only was my group very nice and cheerful, but the tour guide we were with, Tomass, was awesome. His English skills were on top, and he immediately created a nice atmosphere in the whole group. He also taught us a lot about the Hill of Crosses, and never forgot to add fun facts about the places we were seeing during the trip. I totally recommend, thank you again! Best regards from France 🇫🇷🙌

Wonderful experience - Went to the tour with my girlfriend, the tour was very interesting and our guide/driver was professional and very knowledgeable. He even took us to a “surprise” location after hill of crosses which was wonderful and unexpected. Would definitely recommend this tour even for those who aren’t that religious and just want to go to beautiful sights :)

Fun trip - Fun and memorable experience. There were a couple of us on the trip, but the car used was big and comfy. The hill of crosses was definitely an experience worth the trip, almost felt like going on a pilgrimage.

Perfect day trip! Recommend! - Wonderful tour and brilliant guide! 100% recommend to anyone! In the beginning I was thinking to do the other tour to Hill of the Crosses, where they stop in few other places after Hill of The Crosses, but I am glad I didn't, after Hill of The Crosses everything else is like waste of time really. Our guide was really positive and welcoming, he gave us a lot of information also about the history of Latvia and Baltics not only the Hill of Crosses. Thank you for my day!
