Cesis castle was incredible and so was our tour guide. - Martin was incredibly knowledgeable and could not have done anything more to make our trip memorable and special. Nothing was too much trouble and he was incredibly friendly and kind. The trips to the castles were so interesting and in particular the Cesis Castle was the best castle we had ever seen. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great Castle Tour in Riga - Family trip, first time in Riga. The tour was very well organized. We were picked up right on time and started our way to Cēsis. There was a bottle of water for each of us in the van. The van and the tour guide (Mr Ivars) was very nice and explained everything in english. We did the first half of the tour, then had lunch in Sigulda and continue to the 2 final castles (Sigulda and Turaida). Mr Ivars was very patient, we had a person with reduced mobility and took a bit longer to walk the castles but he waited for us with a great attitude, despite being behind schedule. Our trip included 2 kids (10 and 11) and they also enjoyed history and the sight from the castle and their towers. Definitely recommended when visiting Riga for the first time.

Lovely Castle Day - Aldis was a fabulous guide and driver. He did everything to accommodate our needs and, when pressed, made suggestions for additional things to do. He took the position that it was our time and that he was completely at our service. He was knowledgeable about the country, the castles, the culture, and Mother Nature provided us with a beautiful sunny day to see the gorgeous scenery. We felt like we gained a great deal of knowledge about Latvia and made a friend in the process.
