Visit to recommend - Always a good idea to discover a city with the help of a guide to soak up its culture and history. Great visit, and format well adapted to the richness and size of the old town...

Excellent tour guide, showcased the city perfectly - Had an excellent tour around Riga with Tatiana, she is a real credit to her tour company she was so full of knowledge and even though Riga is a smaller city and walkable by yourself, you’d never know all the extra information she gave us, we learnt so much about the city its history, the history of Latvia and what the city and country hope for the future.
When we mentioned we were going to Tallinn next she even gave us a few tips of things to look for there, I’ll say it again she was a real credit to her company and hopefully the other guides are the same.
There were just the 5 of us in the tour group so it was easy to hear everything
