We did a tour with Krista and Amber Tours to Rundale Palace in Latvia and the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania. Krista was an amazing guide who provided us with a lot of information and perspective on living in Riga. The drive seemed to fly by as we talked non-stop with Krista and learned a lot of about her culture and life in Latvia.

We contacted this company to see if they could provide us with an English speaking driver to take us from Riga to Liepaja for the day to visit the area my husbands father came from. They were more than happy to do this and we were taken to several places of interest including some free time in Liepaja town for lunch. Our driver was punctual, the ride was comfortable and he made sure we had a rest stop, the journey was about 3 hours each way! Despite the heavy rain we were lucky enough to have dry weather while we were there. A great day and I would recommend this company if you need a car during your stay.
