Kind staff, comfortable onboard - Kind staff, comfortable in the car. Thomas, our driver and guide, was easy to talk to and helpful. It was very helpful for me to provide information other than sightseeing while I was traveling. I also went to Lido, the self-service restaurant he recommended. I liked it and went there a few times. Staff who communicated with you prior to your booking (unknown because you didn't get their name. representative perhaps) are also kind and well satisfied. It takes too much time and effort to get to Cross Hill on your own. I usually like to go sightseeing on my own, but I got the right answer when I joined the tour.

Crosses and Countryside - Very nice trip through the Latvia and Lithuania countryside in a comfortable van. Stops at the border and at a beautiful refurbished Orthodox church with the main destination the Hill of Crosses. Spend one hour at the hill walking around on your own and can place your own cross. Over 500,000 crosses!!

Interesting history with friendly guides - A great day trip from Riga. Our guides Paul and Tom were very friendly and informative. It was interesting to learn the history behind the origins of the Hill of the Crosses. Also, the little dog who joined us was lovely. Overall, would highly recommend.

Fantastic day out - The host (Paul) was amazing and made it a fun and factual interesting trip. You get an hour at the crosses, which is plenty of time to go around it all and take unique photos. We would highly recommend if visiting Riga.

Enjoyable and interesting tour! - It was very enjoyable. It’s quite a long drive in a minivan but it’s ok. Our tour guide Tomas was very friendly and informative. We also stopped at the border and one other stop to look at the cathedral- that was a nice extra. The hill is really a mount not a hill but out guide warned us. Well worth the trip.

Good comfort friendly nice - Paul and Tom are very good and professional guides, they are knowledgeable, friendly and good at telling historical stories in English. During the trip, they introduced us to the history of Cross Mountain and took us to the Latvian-Lithuanian border. The history of the independence of Latvia and Lithuania is lively and educational. Thank you very much to all staff for making this trip so rich and memorable! These historical stories are both interesting and meaningful. Highly recommended to all friends interested in the history of the unknown, there will be a harvest!
