Easy, convenient, comfortable - Did the trip from Riga to Vilnius. Didn't expect too much from the outset since there aren't too many reviews but turns out to be an excellent trip: the van is very comfy and the driver/guide was marvellous. He drives very well and steadily... also catering to our needs

Great Way to Travel Riga to Vilnius - Alex was a great driver and very knowledgeable. He kept it fast paced and interesting. It was a long day, but he remained energetic and positive. The hill of crosses was definitely the highlight. We wish the Australian couple had was more considerate, as they coughed the entire way. They could have worn masks, taken cough suppressants, or just stayed over until they were feeling better. I’m sure we’ll probably come down with whatever crud they were spreading…

Great guide and value for money - The tour does exactly what it says and is good value for money. The tour guide was informative and drove safely. You get to visit quite a few interesting places and have plenty of free time in each. Overall I am glad I took this tour. The hill of crosses in particular was quite impressive to me, and so was its history. Rundale palace aka Latvian Versailles was basically empty and we had it all to ourselves which was wonderful.
