“It was a great experience and definitely worth doing. Seeing some of the history of Latvia and a small portion of Lithuania was great. The only reason I have it 4 stars is because it rained all day so I was very wet and didn’t get to see some things such as the rundale palace gardens, the tour guide Janis was very knowledgable and friendly giving us history of where we were and even some personal stories I highly recommend this affordable and fun trip.”
