A fantastic trip
A fantastic day out . Maris was a great guide. He gave us so much information and answered any questions we had. He took photos for us, He made the bus trip pass very quickly. We spent about an hour at the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania.It was ample time to move around and you weren’t rushing. It’s definitely a must see visit as it’s so unique. We were blessed with the weather and that really added to the experience. You can buy your own cross from €5 if you wanted to leave one.It wasn’t overly crowded so you could stop and look at the crosses. There is a nice gift shop also. Toilets cost €1 to use and you can pay by card.
Then we went to Jelgava which was once Latvia’s second biggest city. Maris guided us around the Orthodox Church and showed us some of the sights and explained the history. Then we went for a lovely lunch by the water. We preordered on the bus, you could also buy delicious homemade cakes. Then we went to the castle and for a drop of Latvian liqueur before we headed back to Riga. It was a great day and I would highly recommend it to those who are in Riga for a few days. It’s nice to hear out of the city and see a little bit more of the country and even cross into the neighbouring Lituania. Thanks again to Maris

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. Māris will be delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the day and his stories along the way. Having enough time to experience the Hill of Crosses without feeling rushed, followed by a completely different side of the day in Jelgava, is exactly the kind of balance we want our guests to enjoy.
We really appreciate your recommendation to other travellers looking to explore beyond Riga, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Māris.

Give Māris a raise!
I had Māris as a tour guide today for Hill of Crosses and Jelgava tour. What stood out to me the most is his enthusiasm and deep knowledge about history. I have done a lot of day tours over the years in various countries and I really appreciated the company making sure I am aware of meeting point change the day before and also the minibus is very comfortable. I wish there are more tour guides like Māris, he made the experience much more fun.

Thank you for such kind words about Māris. His enthusiasm and deep knowledge of history clearly made a real difference to your day, and we’ll be very happy to pass your feedback on to him. We also appreciate you mentioning the communication before the tour and the comfort of the minibus — these details matter to us just as much as the tour itself.

Well worth it
Loved the fact that we visited 2 countries in 1 tour, and the highlight was the beautiful lunch by the river in Jelgava, Latvia.

It was an nice trip with our tour guide Janis. He had a lot of fun facts to tell about Latvia and Lithuania (hill of crosses).
事業者からの返答
A visit to the Hill of Crosses is about more than the destination itself. Along the way, Jānis shares stories and interesting facts that give travellers a broader picture of Latvia and Lithuania and add context to what they experience during the day.
Thank you for joining our day trip from Riga and for sharing your feedback.

An informative tour full of atmosphere
It was a great tour and Māris is a really wonderful guide. It met all my expectations and I was extremely satisfied with the day. I learned a lot about the history and people of Latvia and Lithuania. The Hill of Crosses is so atmospheric and thought-provoking. And the lunch spot was fantastic.

It sounds like the lunch stop was a highlight in its own right — beautiful surroundings and great food are always a good combination. We’re equally pleased that you could see so much during the day without the trip ever feeling rushed.

Unique local attraction
Such a fantastic tour despite the rain. The Hill of Crosses is a singular experience, and seeing Jelgava for a little while was awesome. Our bus was not too crowded. Our tour guide was great at explaining Latvian history. The Hill itself is a really unique sort of experience where there are somewhere between a quarter million and four hundred thousand crosses of various sizes all over it.
事業者からの返答
A rainy day, but clearly still a memorable one! We’re glad the Hill of Crosses lived up to its reputation as a truly unique place, and that the visit to Jelgava and the stories about Latvian history made the journey just as interesting as the destination.
Thank you for joining us and for sharing your experience!

Make the pilgrimage to the Hill of Crosses in Šiauliai.
Great way to make the pilgrimage to the Hill of Crosses in Šiauliai. A must trip if you’re in Riga a few days.
Small comfortable van. Bit of a drive. Tour guide was awesome! Fun, knowledgeable and talkative.
The church and castle on the way back was just a bonus.
事業者からの返答
Dear Jerry,
Calling it a “pilgrimage” to the Hill of Crosses captures the experience beautifully. We’re glad the journey from Riga was made enjoyable by a fun and knowledgeable guide, and that the stops in Jelgava turned out to be a worthwhile bonus along the way.
Many thanks for travelling with us and for recommending the trip!
