Too much travel for the experiences on the trip.
Our driver /guide informed us immediately that he didn’t speak English. He was kind and accommodating, but we spent six hours in the car without hearing anything about Lithuania or the tourist sites.

Really well run trip. On time pick up and safe driver. The Hill of Crosses is a unique experience and a wonder to behold. It’s only a 5 minute walk from the drop off point and there was a shop/toilets on site. The trip over the border to Rundale Palace was also enjoyable (the day we visited was very busy, so would recommend buying tickets online upfront). Both stops are self exploration, so worth doing your historical research upfront. Our driver made an additional stop at Bauskas Pils castle, which we really appreciated given its picturesque nature. It’s a long day so be prepared for that if you book, but one I would recommend with this company (note: vs other trips that only go to The Hill of Crosses this is really good value for money)

Enjoyable day trip taking in the Hill of Crosses and Rundale Palace (plus a few other surprise stops). The driving was long but roads good and driver very safe. Rundale Palace was our highlight - absolutely stunning! Driver let us have as much as time as we needed - spent about 1.15 hr at Hill of Crosses and more like 2.5 hrs at Rundale Palace - never felt rushed. Recommended trip
