Visit Lithuania’s Hill of Crosses, Latvia’s Rundale Palace and Bauska Castle on a guided 8-hour day trip from Riga.
“I am so glad that I went on this day trip. I learned so much about Latvia that I would not have if I only stayed in Riga. Our guide was excellent. The right balance of story telling, humor, and facts. It was a colder winter day so I did not enjoy the Hill of Crosses as much as I may have. But that is not the fault of the tour or the guide.

Review of Riga’s Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace, and Bauska Castle tour, with practical advice on value, timing, guides, and what to expect.
“The Hill of Crosses should not be missed! It's not very big, but is PACKED with crosses and other religious symbols and commemorations that people have left. It truly is awe-inspiring! Rundale Palace is very reminiscent of Versailles in France, but with a Baltic/Slavic twist. Quite beautiful and well-maintained. Bauska Castle was interesting from an historic standpoint, but is not all that scenic. The tour guide Erlens was very well-informed and fun to travel with.”

“We absolutely loved our bike excursion in the forested area near Riga! It was a perfect break from the hustle of city tourism, the trees are like a fairy tale and the air is fresh and fragrant! Pauls showed us some chantarelle mushrooms to pick and (my favorite part) wild blueberries! The bikes are super fun as well, make sure to speed up when you hit the sand so you don’t go wobbly! We enjoyed seeing the beach and the individualized pace of the tour was great—stop more or less depending on your preference! Great conversation throughout!”
