“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.”

The castle was cool as they are renovating it using the traditional methods, the Palace was stunning and the gardens there amazing. Then the hill of crosses. they don[t tell you how big it is, spread out over an acre full of rabbit trails with all the crosses commemorating various groups and people. Truly amazing.”

“We did the Half-Day Private Trip to Rundāle Palace and Garden through Viator and had a wonderful experience. The tour guide was very friendly, professional, and accommodating, and arrived early for pickup at our hotel. The car was spacious, clean, and comfortable, which made the drive very pleasant. Rundāle Palace itself was the highlight—absolutely beautiful. We visited in December during the off-season, and it truly felt like we had the palace almost entirely to ourselves, which made the experience even more special and unhurried.
