Excursion de 5,5 heures en petit groupe à la colline des Croix au départ de Riga
Description
Notre voyage a commencé sur TripAdvisor avec Latvia Tours sur Tripadvisor by Latvian Gem où nous sommes devenus l'une des premières entreprises en Lettonie à offrir à la fois des transports et des visites, des événements corporatifs, des activités pour les visiteurs internationaux. Hill of Crosses - un site avec des centaines de milliers de croix représentant la foi des gens du monde entier. Site autrefois visité par le pape Jean-Paul II ne cesse d'accueillir les voyageurs avec ses histoires! C’est un trajet simple et facile jusqu’à la Colline qui prend environ 1h 55min par trajet. Il y aura des imprimés à lire en chemin. De plus, il y a une visite virtuelle disponible à la Colline (fonctionne en ligne sur votre téléphone)! Sur le chemin du retour, vous aurez la chance de vous arrêter à la frontière pour une photo et de conduire à travers la ville de Jelgava où vous verrez le plus grand palais baroque n Baltes! La visite fonctionnera s'il y a au moins 3 personnes réservées pour ce jour-là.

Itinéraire
Arrêt photo facultatif à la frontière entre la Lettonie et la Lituanie.
Après 2 heures de route, vous aurez 1 heure de temps libre pour explorer la Colline des Croix avant de retourner à Riga. Un guide virtuel sera disponible (fonctionne uniquement avec le WiFi) et des impressions informatives seront fournies. Sur la Colline, vous êtes également invités à laisser une croix ! Il est possible de les acheter sur place ou d'en apporter une avec vous.
Traversez la 4ème plus grande ville de Lettonie - Jelgava. Bien que la plupart des bâtiments datent de l'époque soviétique (la ville a été gravement bombardée pendant la guerre et a été reconstruite à l'époque soviétique), il existe également des bâtiments spectaculaires de l'époque de l'Empire russe ! Des impressions avec des informations seront fournies.

If anyone from the USA is a bit nervous about scheduling an excursion in a place like Latvia where you’ve never been, fret no more!!! Latvia Gems is your ticket, because their people are absolutely fantastic. Krista Jansone was my direct contact. She was fabulous in providing me all the details and always being there for me when I had questions. You can trust her and everything she says, because she comes through. Then Krista set us up with our Guide Edgars. He made us feel so comfortable…he’s a good driver with a great personality with a goal of pleasing his customers. I can’t say enough platitudes about our trip and hope that you consider Latvia Gems in your future plans.
Amazing short trip with Janis from Riga to Hill of Crosses and then to the airport. Weather was cool and sunny, managed to get some nice photos. He shared with us many interesting tidbits about Latvia and Lithuania.
Krista, my guide was great , all her stories about the Hill of crosses and Latvia was very good Thank you
There are two gift shops Then hill of crosses Very sacred place . You get to go through into another country
We had a wonder guide, Jãnis, who ensured that we had a very fun and interesting trip. He gave us some good local knowledge, and history, on the places that we passed by and visited. The trip was very flexible .. we made two optional stops on the way to the Hill of Crosses which was well worthwhile. The Hill of Crosses itself was incredible, so glad we went. Experiencing it is so much better than looking at photos. We were also very fortunate in that it was snowing which gave it a more stunning appearance and atmosphere All in all a fantastic trip .. would definitely recommend.
Viestrus, our guide, was fabulous! His knowledge and kindness were perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing day seeing new sights and exploring a new area.
The guide was excellent very informative - the hill of crosses was well worth the trip very moving and reflective experience .
We decided to do something different in our stop in Riga for our cruise. When we were offered the opportunity to visit the hill of crosses we decided to go. It was a bit of a drive but our driver/tour guide made it go by quickly. He was very informative and proud of his country. He told us the history and legend of the hill of crosses before letting us have a little time to explore on our own. Then we made a quick stop at the Latvia and Lithuania border for some pictures. We then stopped in Jelgava to see a few sites, including the Jelgava Palace which is now a University. By the time we got back to Riga, we didn’t have much time to see the old town area but our guide drove us through a few areas on the way back to the ship.
I had an excellent experience with this tour company when visiting the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and respectful throughout the trip. The guide was friendly and willing to share interesting insights about the history and significance of the site. They also allowed us plenty of time to take pictures, which I really appreciated. Overall, it was a fantastic and memorable tour. Highly recommended!
Very interesting, Yannis had a lot to tell us throughout the journey to the hill of crosses. Impressive and emotional place. Definitely worth it.
