Da Riga: Collina delle Croci & Palazzo Rundale Guidato, Castello di Bauska

Maris was a fantastic tour guide which he provided so much information about Latvia and Lithuania. We got to see the border crossing which was fun to get some photos, Hill of Crosses which was a must for Lithuania, beautiful Rundale palace, lunch with our group, and Bauska Castle. It was a blast and got to see other areas of Latvia. Highly recommend as a day trip

Very good day trip with several stops and a lot of commentary. We learned a lot and saw some really interesting places. The Hill of Crosses is very different, and the palace is beautiful. Well worth seeing, and a well-run trip at a good price.

5 Star Amazing Lativa and Lithuania Hill of Crosses and Rundale Palace / Bauska Castle tour! Erlens and the Driver did an excellent job making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The Palace and Castle Tours take you back in time - and the organized meal at the Castle was well coordinated! The Hill of Crosses was a place of reverence and faith - Amazing - Come and experience it for yourself!

Erlens is extremely knowledgeable about all the places we visited. It was very beneficial having our own personal guide at the Rundale Palace and Bauska Castle, which saves us a lot of time to explore the places. He is very open to share about his country’s culture and history. We had lots of fun. He was very understanding when the rain suddenly started, and ensured that we are under shelter. The itinerary was carefully planned so we visit Hill of Crosses early in the morning before the crowds come at 9am. Erlens also showed us the country border markers and helped us take photos at scenic places. He helped us order our lunch beforehand, so we can enjoy them after touring Rundale Palace but before the French Gardens. He was very accommodating and friendly towards us alls highly recommended to go on this trip to learn about both Latvia and Lithuania!

This was an excellent trip. The guide (Elvis) was very knowledgeable and provided interesting facts throughout the day. The guide in the Rugdale Palace was fabulous and very entertaining. Lunch in the palace was also excellent and way exceeded our expectations, at a price which we thought reasonable. Overall we would highly recommend this trip.

This tour was very good and our tour guide , Erlens, made it all possible. He was very engaging and good communicator. We went over the tour time but he was very accommodative. While returning to tallinn, it was raining heavily and he decided to drop us off at our hotel instead of the meeting point. He went above and beyond. An absolute gem.

Knowledgable tour guide with lots of stories and happy to answer questions. Tour was a long day with 3 sites but a great day.

A great tour with the best sights of Latvia and Lithuania. Our guide, Maris was fabulous. His knowledge was very impressive, he was friendly, fun and went the extra mile (literally) to return my husband's lost glasses! We highly recommend this tour.

Enjoyable day trip in a small group of 8 in a comfortable, air conditioned mini van. Erlens was our amazing guide and driver throughout the trip and provided a lot of information on Latvia’s history and related topics of interest. Tour was well planned with enough comfort breaks along the way. The first attraction was the hill of crosses in Lithuania, followed by Rundale palace with an appropriately timed lunch in the basement cafe/restaurant and then Bauska castle, before heading back to Riga. Trip lasts around 9 hours. Pick up and drop off were in front of Riga Cathedral. Thank you Erlens for looking after us, clicking our pics and giving us a wealth of information and memorable experience overall.

I'm usually wary of organised tours because I often feel like herded sheep. This tour was the exact opposite! Elvis was organised but charismatic from the very beginning. He always made sure to explain the plan and never rushed us but kept a good pace. We saw so many things and every step of the way Elvis created a memorable expirience. In the palace we were guided by Olafs and he was beyond words! This could have so easily been a forgettable walk in a picturesque place but Olafs is such a character. In the best possible way!! He clearly loves what he's doing and he's doing it so well. We even asked to take a video of one of his demonstrations cause it was so funny!! What really made this tour so fantastic were the little things that elevated this well thought out tour. Small things like: having us pick our lunch in advance so we don't have to wait for the food hungry later on. Or, I was late coming out of the bathroom and he waited there at the exit to make sure I knew where to go and didn't feel left behind while the others were already briefed and didn't have to wait around for me. What's Apping us before the tour so that we have all the info in advance and a way to contact him in case of anything. Knowing all the best places and angles for photos and taking them so no one had to miss being in the photo. All of us at the tour were so amazed by the quality so the value for money is amazing. It seems like I'm singing praises but truelly there is nothing I could complain about or even was neutral about. If you're unsure if you should go for it don't! I certainly will recommend this to all of my friends. Thank you Elvis!
