Jānis (the tour guide) went above and beyond. - I took a tour to the Hill of Crosses and Jelgava operated by Latvia Guide Tours on June1st on June 1st. It was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. What truly set this tour apart was our incredible guide, Jānis. He was one of the best tour guides I've ever encountered – knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and incredibly responsive to all our questions and needs. A minor setback was that hotel pickup wasn't possible due to the marathon on that Sunday.

Latvia Guide - great company - The 5* review is more about the company Latvia Guide and our tour guide “Elvis”. Yes we were taken to the Hill of Crosses which is unique and well worth a visit but that’s about a half hour job. The real value in the trip came from Elvis’s pragmatic and honest take on Latvian history, its current place in the world and its current issues. It was fascinating. Latvia Guide as a company - very professional.

Relaxing trip out of town, to do! - Pleasant day, perfect weather, very prepared driving. He welcomed us well, explaining everything throughout the trip. We had lunch in a typical place and made several stops. Janis gave us water, chocolate and shots of black balsam. Everything is perfect.

Fabulous trip to the Hill of crosses - Great trip into Lithuania to see the hill of crosses. We stopped for refreshments and toilet break on the way. Then we stopped at the boarder to take photographs. We had an hour at the Crosses then headed to Jalgava for lunch. Food at the restaurant was delicious, we had the beetroot soup, the prices were very reasonable. We stopped at a beautiful church and palace before heading back. The guide was excellent with lots of information.

Great guide - The trip involves quite long journeys but the mini van we travelled in was very comfortable. Our guy Janus was brilliant and used the travel time to inform us of lots of interesting facts about Latvia and the general Baltic history Stopped in a lovely town for lunch

Eriens the great guide. - Our guide Eriens worked very hard and well to ensure that we all had the best time possible on this trip. He continually reminded us as to what we were doing next, how long to the next toilet or refreshment break etc. so that we could relax from that perspective; pointed out many sights along the way that gave us a good perspective of the countryside and people; was very friendly and his English was faultless. A lovely chap indeed who was determined that we had the best time possible. Well done Eriens - you succeeded!
