Perfect road trip
This is what I expected the road trip should be.
We have a very good and knowledgeable driver,his name is Karlis. I highly recommend him to be anyone's next trip driver.
The weather was beautiful and the sightseeing along the way was amazing.

The best way to go from Riga to Vilnius
We made the trip from Riga to Vilnius with Karles in a sedan vehicle. It was a private tour, just for my wife and me. Karles picked us up from the hotel in Riga and dropped us off at the hotel in Vilnius. On the way we visited Rundale Palace, Bauska Castle and, for an additional fee, the Hill of Crosses, which we highly recommend. Karles was not only an excellent driver, but also an extraordinary host, as he informed us about the history and curiosities of the places we were visiting. Hiring this service was the best thing we could do, since it allowed us to make stops along the way and visit places, which would not have been possible if we had traveled by plane or bus. This way we were able to get the most out of the day.

Martins (driver) was prompt, friendly and accommodating. We had a very nice time making our way from Riga to Vilnius seeing Bauskas Castle and Rundales Palace along the way. Great lunch recommendation. Even better chat about the Baltic Republics during the drive. Would book again.

A great way to maximize your time in the Baltics
An efficient way to travel directly and stop at the main sights (2 castles, the Hill of Crosses) along the way between the capital cities when time is short
Operator response
Dear Sarah, Thank you very much for the review!
I will just add for future customers, that Hill of Crosses is a detour and must be added additionally.

Does what it says on the tin
this is a very efficient way of travelling if you are 2 or 3 . It is cost effective and comfortable to include sight seeing at our own pace. Artis our driver was very safe and courteous. The only unclear thing was about tip to give to driver. It was not made clear whether we expected to do this as it costs about £400 for the transfer and 10% would be £40. Normally at this price point gratuity would be included in the cost. It would be better to make it clear whether is expected or not to avoid any embarrassment.
Operator response
Dear George, Thank you very much for the review! As described in this product, gratuity is not obligatory. But you can tip our driver if you really liked the service.

Excellent guide
Excellent trip. Our guide, Artist did an excellent job. The timing worked out wonderfully, he was there early and we had plenty of time in each location. I messed up and didn’t realize the Hill of Crosses was not included, but they would have happily have added it if I would have asked before. It wasn’t a huge deal for us, but do make sure you ask for it if you want it added to your trip.

Dear Crystal,

Well-arranged and comfortable trip
We travelled from Riga to Vilnius with Kalis the driver, visiting Bauska Castle and Rundale Palace. Kalis met up with us as we requested and made a well-arranged sightseeing trip for us. The minivan was pretty spacious and comfortable.
Both of the castle and the palace are amazing and highly recommended. Besides, we paid a little bit (30 euros) to make a detour to Hill of Crosses as well.
It’s highly recommended if you’d like to visit these sites with friends on way to Vilnius, or to Riga.

An excellent way to travel between Riga and Vilnius
An excellent way to travel between Riga and Vilnius and to see three sights on the way. Went to the Rundale palace, the Bauska Castle and the Hill of the Crosses. Artis was a great driver and guide and allowed me ample time to see the sites and to take breaks when needed
