The guide Simon is knowledgeable about Lithuanian history and some stories about the Hill of Cross. He also picks some crosses with special look or meaning to elaborate. One more good point is that he gave me plenty of time and space to let me explore the Hill of Crosses myself (maybe because it wasn't peak time). You may also choose any pick-up and drop-off point in Siauliai centre. I recommend this to solo travelers or those who want to have a private tour. 導遊Simon對於立陶宛歷史以及十字架山的故事相當有認識,也會特地找出一些外形或意義較特別的十字架作介紹。另外很喜歡的一點是,當他完成介紹後,會給予我足夠的時間和空間自行去探索十字架山(或許因為冬季沒有太多遊客)。 可以自由選擇接載地點,推薦給需要私人空間的獨遊者。

I joined the tour with my sister. The guide is very kind and polite. He picked us up at bus terminal and dropped us where we requested(in town). We learned about the town also the history of the hill. 2hour is long enough to enjoy. And of course, very safe if you are solo or female. We highly recommend this tour especially if you have limited time.

The Hill of Crosses, located near Siauliai city in Lithuania. This place has a remarkable ambiance, and gratitude, wishes, dreams, and hopes are integral parts of this magic Hill that resembles the atmosphere of the Western wall of Jerusalem. There have been several attempts to destroy the Hill, nevertheless, it survived as a sign of liberty and independence of Lithuania. Hill has become an important place for pilgrims all around the world. In 1993 Pope John Paul II said a prayer about this Hill and gave a gift to Lithuania - a crucifix that was set up on the Hill. Later he referred to this special place in his many speeches. The Hill of Crosses is a place of light and hope for its visitors!

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.

It was the best choice to come from Vilnius to Riga with visiting all great point between cities. We saw frightful Hill of Crosses and amazing Rundale Palace Museum. I guess we wouldn't have visited these countrysides places without support. The good bonus for us was interesting Riga trip where we visited main sightpoints and squares. It was really helpful because we stayed in Riga for next 2 days and could plan our routes without advice, based on previous information. Thank you Vadim for our fruitfull tour!

Hill of Crosses is a truly unique site which will take your breath away! It is is a site of pilgrimage dating back to 1830ties when people started to place crosses here to pray for their loved ones they've lost in the battles (Lithuanian - Polish commonwealth uprising against Russian Empire). In Soviet times this place served as a peaceful protest action against Soviet regime as they tried to destroy the place many times while locals kept coming back and placing more crosses all the time. The Hill of Crosses was visited by Pope John Paul II back in 1993 and since then this place has become very popular - not only between locals but also tourists from all over the world! Don't be intimidated by the fact that it is a pilgrimage site. Even if you're not religious, please note that everyone is welcome to visit this beautiful sight as long as you respect everyone else visiting it!
Inclusions: Bottled water, Air-conditioned vehicle, WiFi on board
