Cesis, Sigulda and Turaida Castles - A bit of walking and going up and down stairs. Great tour to learn about medieval castles during the Livonian Order. Our guide Martin was very informative, friendly and considerate

Castles and Palaces galore - Amazing trip from start to finish. Our guide/driver Andis touched base with us the day before, confirming pick up. He turned up bang on time and ensured we were comfortable before setting off on an amazing day. Throughout the day Andis took account of my sister's mobility issues, parking as close as possible for drop offs and coming back to collect us. Clear instructions throughout, but no pressure. For lunch Andis suggested a fantastic restaurant which coul not be faulted. A knowledgeable and helpful guide, would happily use his services again in future.

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.
