About this experience
The Hill of Crosses in Lithuania is a spectacular and unique site like no other! It is a site of pilgrimage dating back to 1830ties when people started to place crosses here to pray for their loved ones they've lost in the battles (Lithuanian - Polish commonwealth uprising against Russian Empire). In Soviet times this place served as a peaceful protest action against Soviet regime as they tried to destroy the place many times while locals kept coming back and placing more crosses all the time. The Hill of Crosses was visited by Pope John Paul II back in 1993 and since then this place has become very popular - not only between locals but also tourists from all over the world! You're welcome to be a part of this unique growing site by leaving a cross on the hill. You can purchase the cross on the site, bring it with you from your home country or even make one yourself!

Perfect - Highly recommend!
Krista was our guide for our private trip to the Hill of Crosses, and she was awesome!! We were picked up on time and driven from Riga to the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania. Krista shared interesting facts and history throughout the comfy car trip (we also stopped to take some pictures at the border). When we arrived at the Hill, Krista spent time providing some history, showing us the site and highlighting some of the different crosses before leaving us to spend time wandering around and exploring by ourselves. When we were ready, Krista drove us back to Riga, again with stories and facts that made this tour so special. At the end, it was like having to say goodbye to an old friend. We cannot recommend booking Latvian Gem for a private trip to the Hill of Crosses highly enough. A wonderful day!

Best tour guide in Riga!
Krista is a wonderful guide, she communicated with us when we booked the trip, organised picking us up directly from our hotel, even bringing us a little anniversary gift which was so thoughtful and started the day with even more excitement. Krista consistently provided us with knowledge of all areas we drive through, nature in the local area, the different types of buildings we saw and everything there was to know about the Hill of Crosses. We had a fantastic day and if we had longer in Riga we would have most definitely booked another trip.

A great and unusual day out
An eery but interesting place to visit. Literally 1000’s of crosses. Different stories for reason of its origin all fascinating. Guide who drove us there was very informative. Lots of other facts and interests shared with us along the route too. .

Great day trip to Hill of Crosses
This was a fabulous trip. Krista was the greatest. She was knowledgeable about the entire area we drove through from Riga to the Hill: the legends, the history and. the present. She went above and beyond what could be expected on such a tour. She even stopped for specific requests and geocaches which she was also already knowledgeable about and more than willing to help hunt! Because of this trip we've gotten another country visited!! Thank you Krista. A job well done, too bad you're not at every stop.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private transfer Riga - Hill of Crosses - Riga: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Riga.
How much does Private transfer Riga - Hill of Crosses - Riga cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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 Private transfer Riga - Hill of Crosses - Riga take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Private transfer Riga - Hill of Crosses - Riga worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Private transfer Riga - Hill of Crosses - 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 Private transfer Riga - Hill of Crosses - Riga suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private transfer Riga - Hill of Crosses - Riga?
+
Around 5 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private transfer Riga - Hill of Crosses - 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, 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.
