        Most moving experience
        We travelled overland with Intrepid; from Helsinki to Vilnius. Many suites impressed me but here I was moved most, when I saw this hill full of many thousand of crosses . I had tears in my eyes and thought when I die; I would also like some one to put a cross here in my memory. What a lovely idea.

        Worst company ever
        The worst company, I would never recommend working with them. Very rude and disrespectful to foreigners. Can't communicate in English with letters.

        Not disappointed just crosses
        Combined fabulous driver and informative guide Andrius an interesting side trip to the Partisan Memorial Park (a memento cross for Ronald Reagan!) the Hill of Crosses itself not very high or far to work an extraordinary experience that will linger in the mind for ages Pope John Paul II (“half my heart belongs to Lithuania”) really put on the map this collective expression of homeland, artistic expression and religious resistance to oppression. Definitely worth the journey.

        Had a wonderful time
        Thank you for the tour. I didn’t have a background of Christian history so the guide helped me understand the background. The guide also introduced us to the restaurant where we can have a delicious Cepelinai. 十字架の丘の前に十字架がある公園に行きました。そこで司教の話などをしてくださり、キリスト教についての知見が深まりました。 十字架の丘に行った後は現地の人がよく行く人気のレストランに連れて行ってくださり、ツェペリナイをいただきました。 その他 十字架の丘のトイレは0.5セントのコインが必要です。 最大4名のグループツアーでグループツアーの場合昼食は同じテーブルで取ります。

        Faith and defiance in the face of oppression. Inspiring!
        The trip was fascinating! We learnt so much about the history of Lithuania from our guide, Adam. The day was well planned, with regular breaks and plenty of time to enjoy the sights. The only problem was the cramped transport (personal car), which for a full-day trip was inappropriate.

        Discover Lithuania - Excellent
        I used Discover Lithuania for transportation to and from the airport as well as the Hill of Crosses tour. Adam was the guide for each of these excursions, and he was personable, professional, and fun to be around. It snowed the day of the Hill of Crosses tour, yet Adam navigated the heavy traffic and uncertain conditions with patience, and a sense of humor. I had a very early flight on my last day, and Adam provided me with a couple of breakfast bars, as he knew it was too early to get breakfast at the hotel. What a classy and considerate move by Adam. I highly recommend Adam and Discover Lithuania.

        Boring tour and rough tour guide!
        We were told that the meeting point on the day was the bus stop next to the bell tower, but intact, it should be the opposite of the bell tower, I think this is very misleading. When we tried to point out this, the driver guide's behaviour was rough and brash! The whole tour he was showing of rashness, he doesn't show any interest in what he's doing. It seems like he didn't enjoy the job and just wanted to rush off.

        A UNIQUE SIGHT TO BEHOLD
        More than 100,000 crucifixes on this hill. A sight to behold- unique attraction with crosses of different sizes, designs, material (about >2 centuries) . A Catholic Pilgrimage site. About 2.5 hrs from Vilnius. . Apparently, there’s lot of history from war & uprising for hundreds of years. I had goosebumps as I walked through thousands of these crucifixes.

        Travel from Vilnius to Rega with great sightseeing.
        It is a very good option not just to travel from Lithuania to Latvia, but also the opportunities to visit attractions - the Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace and Bauska Castle. It is recommended to those who would like to travel from Vilnius to Rega and at the same time wish to visit the place of interest along the journey.

        Great Tour Company
        We booked two private tours with Discover Lithuania -- the Riga to Vilnius sightseeing transfer and the Paneriai Memorial Park, Trakai Castle and Kaunas Tour. Reda, who handled our bookings, always promptly replied to our email queries and the booking process was quick and easy. The prices were very competitive. The tour logistics were flawless. We were picked up and dropped off on time. The cars were clean and comfortable. The best part were our guides. Andrius and Adam were wonderful guides, completely fluent in English, knowledgeable about history, politics, flora and fauna and fun to be with. You can't go wrong booking with Discover Lithuania.

        Excellent
        Super comfortable way to get from Vilnius to Riga—with stops on the way that make it more interesting. Driver was great, the program was enjoyable... Couldn't have thought of a better way to travel between the two capitals!

        Good tour
        Good tour. Our guide was early and took us promptly along the planned itinerary. We enjoyed the various stops. At the final stop at bauska castle he gave us a quick guided tour and we were on our way. This is a nice way to transit between Vilnius and Riga while also seeing sights in the countryside and learning about their culture.

        Sobering experience
        Firstly I would like to thank Adam for being a wonderful guide and a true gentleman. The hill of crosses is a sobering experience, nothing like it. Well worth the visit. Also stopped off in a memorial park dedicated to a founder of lithuanian freedom.

      We were very pleased with our day trip to Siluva and the Hill of crosses. Our driver/guide Inge provided us with history lessons and very patiently waited for us when we attended mass at the Shrine of Our Lady of Siluva which we did not expect. She also recommended we visit the KGB museum which we also did. Thanks Inge.
