Good introduction to Riga history - A great introduction to the history of Old Town Riga. Excellent guide who added to her narrative by showing us photos of an older Riga, some showing the WW2 devastation. The building reconstruction could then be really appreciated.

First Time first Informatione - At first it was a bit difficult, everyone wanted to poach me, meeting point was not so clear.
But an ideal introduction to Latvia, first arrived and then a bit of information about Latvia and Riga, from the past and today.
Example since 2014 with Euro..very interesting 😃👌
