    The Hill of Crosses has about 100,000 crosses and is an historical architectural monument, it is a unique composition of folk art. It is said that first crosses were erected here by the next-of-kin of the rebels that fell in the 1831 rebellion. The Hill of crosses attracts people with it's peace, spirituality, authenticity and sacred nature and was visited by Pope John Paul II. After exploring this site, you will head to Rundale Palace, which is an approximately 40-minute drive. Rundale Palace is one of the two major baroque palaces built for the Dukes of Courland in what is now Latvia. In 1735 Duke of Courland Ernst Johann von Biron bought land in Rundale with an old medieval castle in the territory of a planned summer residence. The old castle was demolished and construction after the design of Bartolomeo Rastrelli started in 1736. Your drive to Riga after your visit to the palace is approximately 1 hour.

It was a wonderful experience just a longer drive then we expected. Our driver was very nice. I just felt bad for him because we had an extreme language barrier so we could not chat with him, but he did a good job getting us there and back and communicated what he could.

The car was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Although the journey from Vilnius to Riga was long, it didn’t feel tiring at all. The driver was skilled and drove very smoothly — I usually get motion sickness easily, but I felt completely fine throughout the trip. We visited the Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace, and Bauska Castle, with a lunch stop in between. The driver never rushed us and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each place at our own pace. He was kind, friendly, and very thoughtful. Although he didn’t speak any English, he always had a warm smile and patiently communicated with us using translation apps and gestures. We truly appreciated his effort and hospitality — it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-organized private trip between Vilnius and Riga, with a warm and considerate local driver!

The tour guide was Bruno. The tour guide rushed to complete the tour as soon as possible and get back to Vilnius. Here are examples that provide a justification for my review: 1) He mentioned we would not have time to stop for lunch, as he needed to come back to Vilnius. 2) The time provided by the tour to check the Rundale Palace was 1 hour. Walking to the entrance of the Palace alone and getting the ticket takes 20 minutes. A decent time to visit the palace would is 2-to-3 hours (you can check this information online). 3) The time provided by the tour guide to check the Hill of Crosses was 30 minutes. This is not enough for a good visit of the place. A decent time to visit this place is at least 45 minutes. 4) There was no visit to Bauska Castle. The tour guide just stopped on a street near the castle, from which he said I can take a picture of the castle at the distance. We concluded the tour at 3pm in Riga. The total tour time was 6 hours, although this should have been an 8–9-hour tour.
