The newest part is residence of the Dukes of Courland. This is a quick stop and shouldn't take more than 30-60 minutes. The next stop is Rundale Palace. It is made from Baroque and Rococo art style. Suggested visit around 2 hours. The last stop would be Hills of Crosses. Very beautiful and unusual place to see- hill with thousands of crosses.

    Disappointing

    We did not have a great experience with this company and I would not use them again. The tour had been booked and paid for weeks ago, a guide had been arranged and on the day nobody turned up. The company didn’t answer the phone when we called or when our hotel phoned or when Viator tried to contact them. We waited for 2 hours in the reception area of our hotel before deciding that we were not going on the trip that day. We arranged with Viator to try and do the trip the following day (luckily we were still in Riga). We finally got confirmation and a quick “sorry for the delay” text that evening and the name and number of our driver. The following morning, a few minutes late, our guide came and collected us and showed us to our minivan. She had been brought in at the last minute as a favour to the company and admitted that she wasn’t a guide but used to be one. Linda, our guide, however, made the trip for us. She was warm and friendly and we really enjoyed her company. She chatted the whole way in the van and we had a lovely time on the trip itself. Our driver, Edgars, was also called in at the last minute. The vehicle was spotless and in great condition. When we got back to our hotel there was also confusion. Linda was expecting €200 cash, as payment, we had been told that the guide would be €100 extra to the trip. It was an awkward situation for both parties and not necessary. Linda took screenshots from my phone showing what had been paid and agreed. The organisation and communication from the company was shambolic. The trip itself was enjoyable and worthwhile but I would not recommend using this particular company.

    Mini Baltic Tour: Riga - Bauska - Rundale - Hill of Crossess - Riga: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Riga.

    How much does Mini Baltic Tour: Riga - Bauska - Rundale - Hill of Crossess - Riga cost?

    +

    Prices start at $547 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 Mini Baltic Tour: Riga - Bauska - Rundale - Hill of Crossess - Riga take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Mini Baltic Tour: Riga - Bauska - Rundale - Hill of Crossess - Riga worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 1 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 Mini Baltic Tour: Riga - Bauska - Rundale - Hill of Crossess - Riga?

    +

    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 Mini Baltic Tour: Riga - Bauska - Rundale - Hill of Crossess - Riga suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mini Baltic Tour: Riga - Bauska - Rundale - Hill of Crossess - Riga?

    +

    Around 0 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mini Baltic Tour: Riga - Bauska - Rundale - Hill of Crossess - Riga 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, Hill of Crosses and Jelgava Tour 2 Countries in 1 Day, Discover Riga Bike Tour. 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.

    What is included in Mini Baltic Tour: Riga - Bauska - Rundale - Hill of Crossess - Riga?
