Great for the value - The boat and skipper were pleasant. The audio tour is basic but communicates the major points. It is done with a BLE speaker in the center of the boat that is easy to hear. In our case, the boat left 5 minutes prior to the actual tour time so it is important to be there on-time (arrive 15 min early as they request!--arriving early is also important to be sure you get your welcome drink!). Overall a great experience.

Perfect outing - Good experience. We were Lycke, we were only four people on the boat, so it seamed like a private tour. The weather was sunny and perfect. You learn about different spots in the Riga city. The captain was friendly. You get a free drink included, recommended!

Fun Way To See The City - Overall charming with a few setbacks. We ended up having booked on a day where the weather and tide was not cooperating. The operators were very upfront about giving refund if we wanted because we only ended up taking half of the tour. We opted to go anyways because the weather for the rest of the week looked the same. So, it was what it was. Also, if you want to go at sunset, be aware that sunset in northern Europe in June/July is very late, so at 5pm, it's still bright and sunny out. But overall it was a charming idea and a fun way to see the city from a different angle.

Just average, no more - The trip itself is pretty cheap, so you’re not losing money by going on this trip. You start the experience with a free drink which is nice. However the whole guide is played through a speaker from an audio guide. It wasn’t super interesting and I expected a bit more from the experience. The experience could do with being more engaging.

Disgusting. Do not book this company. - It was a horrible experience. People were so rude. We booked our VIP boat but captain didn’t turned up then we were offered smaller boat but the owner couldn’t start. Boats are in very bad condition so for your safety I wouldn’t recommend. They offered money back but after 1 month still no money and no answers to messages. Absolutely disgusting.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS - If I could leave zero stars I would, directions that were sent to us the evening before were pointless as wouldn’t work, could not get an address for this even with help from hotel reception!!! Therefore couldn’t find location as no address or company name was even give!!! Definitely avoid and use company with a lot more reviews than this 1 wished we’d booked through the hotel.
