Hi everyone,
You can learn more about me once you meet me :) But to give you an idea of what to expect of my tours - I lived in UK for 5 years and in Crete for half a year, which was a great time and I would not change it to anything. But this also is why I am so passionate about my city - Riga! Since I came back, I have fallen in love with it all over again! :)
I've done Riga guides course which gives me official license to work here as an official guide, however I believe that not official school is what makes the guide great, but his passion and friendliness is! Am I right?
But I have to tell you now - I am not the guide which will give you facts and numbers only. I prefer to go easy -
go with the flow as they say - and tell more funny stories, interesting things which will stick to your mind even after you've left Riga. If you prefer dry facts and numbers, I am not the one for you! :)
Flexible tour is what I offer. We can customize everything. I have a car which seats up to 6 passengers, which gives us also a chance to drive around Riga and not only. But options are as many as ideas! If you fancy a trip together with a cheerful local, drop me a message and we will go from there!
I look forward to welcoming you in Riga!

Description
Visit one of the most popular sites in Lithuania!
Visited by Pope John Paul II, this place has become an important pilgrimage site for Catholics. But please don't be intimidated by the fact that it is a religious site - everyone is welcome to visit this unique site - just as long as you respect the place and crosses that carry different stories with them!
You will have a guided tour of the place - hear the story behind it, how it all started! We'll point out some traditional Lithuanian crosses, explain some symbols that can be seen there and give you overall information about the country, culture and its history. After the guided tour you will have free time to explore the place by yourselves - take some beautiful photos and just to take it all in as it really is breathtaking!
Going there for the sunrise time will allow you to enjoy the place with no tourists around. Get the place for yourself! And save a lot of time as you will be back in Riga by noon if not earlier!
Pick up will be 2 hours before sunrise time.

The national park is beautiful with great opportunities for photos of the local wildlife and extended views of the whole park. The tour is relaxed and Krista is flexible with time and changed days for me so we could go when it wasn't raining. ( Very thankful )
