- stevesA3091EL0 contributionsUnique placeNice journey to an amazing and unique place. Everything perfect and well organised. Professional guide who made the trip really enjoyable.Written September 13, 2024
- UKPanda0 contributionsUnreliable operatorsBooked this trip a month in advance but did not receive pick up information. Chased the operators the day before for pick up details three times and eventually received a confirmation they would pick up from our hotel the next day. 2 hours later they cancelled due to breakdown of their vehicle. No alternative offered. Very disappointing as we were looking forward to it and we’re not able to make alternative arrangements at such short notice.Written September 3, 2024
- 419daanj0 contributionsNice and comfyI went alone on this tour, but, despite that, I felt welcomed by the group and our driver Gints. The car also was pretty comfy, so it added to the whole experience.Written July 13, 2024

- 85kristianam0 contributionsGreat Day Trip Out of RigaPaul was great! He was the perfect guide and gentlemen! Enjoyed my tour and conversation with Paul throughout the entire day. Rundale Palace and the Hill of Crosses were awe inspiring and definitely worth the visit. I enjoyed my day immensely and Paul was the the only reason for that.Written June 10, 2024

- ninoninobb0 contributionsWould recommendIn total, we were 5 people going together on this trip, but our driver and guide Gints made us all feel very comfortable and we were talking and laughing the whole way through.Written June 4, 2024
- julienlY7210EQ0 contributionsGreat way to spend the dayReally enjoyed my time on this tour. Big thanks to Paul for making this happen - fun an knowledgeable guy, he shared some nice insights about the history of the places we visited and nicely rounded out the whole experience.Written June 4, 2024
- nixamo0 contributionsFantastic trip to Rundale PalaceWe were on a group tour and had a free day, and planned to visit the Soviet Bunker, but the bunker trip was cancelled due to multiple school children visits. Paul suggested we visit Rundale Palace and Bauska Castle instead. Great choice, thoroughly enjoyed the palace, like a smaller Versailles. He personally drove us there and got us tickets and oriented.Written May 29, 2024
- feliciad5570 contributionsLoved itAbsolutely loved the trip! Fantastic sights and vibes. Big thanks to the crew for making it an unforgettable experience:)Written March 9, 2024
- Rohdoy990 contributionsCancel when you like…Bit of a joke really. Told you have to cancel 24 hours in advance, yet they cancel on you 12 hours before you’re set to go. Not only that, we were offered an alternative and then 1 minute later the trip was cancelled. Slightly bemused by the whole situation and frustrating to not be made a bit more aware of the situation. Very frustrating as we were looking forward to this experience.Written February 15, 2024
- jrfahrenbach0 contributionsGreat nature experienceWe had a great trip with a very friendly driver. The dogs were curious and eager to pull the sled. It was very relaxing to spend time in the calming snowy forest.Written February 12, 2024
- Carmen B0 contributionsShort but sweet.A nice experience that I would recommend to every animal lover. Unfortunately our tour guide was a little - he did apologize tho so it wasn’t too big of a deal. He was very nice and kept the conversation alive. Once you arrive at the spot you are greeted by many huskies and they are very friendly, you can go straight up to pet them and take pictures. The actual ride is fun but unfortunately a bit short. Maybe 10 minutes as a pair (15 minutes max).Written January 21, 2024
- Fabiana P0 contributionsMust-do!Paul, our guide, picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the Riga countryside. He was super friendly throughout both the ride and our stay while waiting for our turn to be on the sled. He gave us tips on what to do and where to eat in Riga and allowed us to get to know and pet the dogs both before and after our ride. All the dogs were beautiful and super friendly, excited to be the next ones to run and have fun. We got to drive the sled after a quick explanation and change seats halfway through. The dogs looked like they were having the time of their lives! To sum it up, this is a must-do experience while in Riga during the winter - 100% recommended. Paul was the cherry on top after a beautiful experience!Written January 14, 2024
- acjb20150 contributionsVery nice experience with Husky sleddingWe had a very nice experience with Husky sledding in cold Latvia less than two hours from Riga. Everything was very well organized.Written January 3, 2024

Rundale palace was one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever been in. My wife and I and really enjoyed our visit, our driver was extremely kind and also told us a lot about the history of the two places. After visiting Rundale Palace we went to The Hill of Crosses which also was very beautiful. If you’re visiting Latvia, I highly recommend to book this transfer.
