Amazing trip!

Published on May, 2025

I had an amazing day trip to the Hill of Crosses from Riga! The tour guide, Jānis, was fantastic—super knowledgeable, friendly, and really went out of his way to make the experience great. He shared a lot of interesting history along the way and even stopped at the Latvia–Lithuania border, which was such a cool bonus! Jānis also offered to take photos, which was really thoughtful and made the trip even more memorable. The Hill of Crosses itself is such a unique and powerful place—definitely worth the visit. Highly recommend this tour if you’re in Riga!

Highly recommend

Hill of Crosses

Published on May, 2025

We ended up with a private tour and had a pick up from our hotel with choice of time. Great communication from Krista. Our driver Jānis arrived on time and was very friendly and knowledgeable. He pointed out areas and sights of interest and he found out the answers to any of our questions he was unsure of. We had an enjoyable day exploring the Hill of Crosses from Riga. He offered us the local drink and Latvian chocolate, as well of bottles of water.

Highly recommend

We had Jānis as our driver and was very happy! He was very nice, explained along the way and speaks English well. Comfortable car. 10/10 experience!

: A Fascinating Day Exploring Latvia’s Past with Janis

Published on Apr, 2025

Janis was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting stories. We actually upgraded to the full-day tour, which in addition to the Hill of Crosses also included Jelgava Palace, Rundale Palace, and Bauska Castle, and it was well worth it! The minibus was warm and comfortable, and we were welcomed with a bottle of water and a candy, which was a lovely touch. Janis kept the journey engaging with insights into Latvian history and everyday life. Rundale Palace was absolutely mind-blowing—we could have spent an entire day there alone! There was also an opportunity to buy lunch at the palace stop. All in all, a very enjoyable and educational experience.
