Just Do It! You won’t be disappointed!
This is the best way to see a lot in one day AND get your ride to Vilnius from Riga! Or vis a versa. Very good value and Travellers is great company to work with. I’ve taken 9 of their tours!

Incredible experience with Rūta to Riga
Our experience with Rūta from Vilnius to Riga was fantastic. She is so knowledgable and passionate that made the trip and every stop a great experience. She was always ensuring that we had all of our needs satisfied. She even managed to stop to be able to see the solar eclipse. Also the van and driving were perfect. Totally recommended.

Don't miss - Incredible PRIVATE tour from Vilnius to Riga!
Highly recommend making this tour PRIVATE. You get the flexibility and can do the Vilnius to Riga in approx 8 hours rather than 12 hours. I suggest spending more time in Kaunas and less at the Hill of Crosses and Rundale Palace. The day was fabulous and Traveller Tours provided the fabulous Laura to take me from Vilnius to Riga. She was incredible with history and the culture of Lithuania (where she is from) and introduced great information about Latvia when we crossed the border. Laura is warm, personable and cared about making my experience extra special.

Highly recommended
Great way to see the area and travel from city to city. The places selected to visit on the way were interesting and the information provided helped in the understanding of the history

Fun road trip between Riga and Vilnius
This is a fun way to travel between Riga and Vilnius. Our guide, Laura, was so much fun and had so much to tell us about the history of the sites. This is also a great way to experience more of Latvia and Lithuania outside of their capitals.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hill of Crosses & Rundale Palace Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Riga.
How much does Hill of Crosses & Rundale Palace Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $380 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Riga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hill of Crosses & Rundale Palace Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Riga is not rushed.
Is Hill of Crosses & Rundale Palace Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Riga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hill of Crosses & Rundale Palace Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hill of Crosses & Rundale Palace Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hill of Crosses & Rundale Palace Tour?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Riga can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Riga and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hill of Crosses & Rundale Palace Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Riga within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Riga?
+
On Outty we rank every Riga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 countries! Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace and Bauska castle, Discover Riga Bike Tour, 5,5 Hour Small Group Tour to Hill of Crosses from Riga. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Riga?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Riga?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
