From Riga: Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace & Bauska Castle Guided Tour｜Latvia

Enjoy a fully organized day tour from Riga combining comfortable transportation, guided experiences, and carefully planned stops across Latvia and Lithuania. This experience is designed for travelers who want more than just transportation — offering a structured and engaging journey with real local insight.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive to the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania, one of Europe’s most unique pilgrimage sites. Thousands of crosses create a powerful atmosphere, while your guide shares the stories, symbolism, and traditions behind this extraordinary place.

Continue to Rundale Palace, the finest example of baroque architecture in Latvia. Unlike many tours, your visit inside the palace is led by a professional live guide — not an audio guide. This allows you to fully understand the history, architecture, and hidden details that bring the palace to life. After the guided visit, enjoy time to explore the French Garden on the palace grounds.

The day continues at Bauska Castle, a medieval fortress located between two rivers. Walk through the historic site, enjoy panoramic views, and learn about the region’s past during a well-paced visit.

To complete the experience, enjoy a tasting of Riga Black Balsam — Latvia’s most famous traditional herbal drink — included as part of the tour.

Throughout the day, travel comfortably with a knowledgeable local guide, with a balanced itinerary that includes time for photos and exploration. A lunch break is planned at a local restaurant, where you can choose and pay for your own meal.

Everything is arranged for you, allowing you to focus entirely on the experience rather than planning or logistics.
