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.
