An Indispensable Tour of Riga !! - This tour is indispensable for anyone visiting Riga for the first time. Guna was our guide for this trip. She is a fantastic storyteller and her narration of the history of Latvia is very personal and real. She not only covered a large number of historical sites and monuments in the tour but also regaled us with the backstories of those places. Finally, she shared her recommendations for places to see and restaurants to eat in Riga, which were absolutely precious !!

Great value, great content. - A great way to be educated about, and orientated around, the Old Town.
Our guide Gita was brilliant. The tour was pitched nicely - very informative but delivered by her in a very relaxed and friendly manner.
We learned a huge amount. I would absolutely recommend this walking tour.

Wonderful tour with a wonderful tour guide - I think the tour guide’s name was Rita and she was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. She made the entire city come alive with humor, great knowledge and a wonderful personality. My entire group felt the same way bravo to her. !!!

Excellent tour of Riga. - This was an excellent tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The size of the group was a bit too big for my liking, but it didn't detract too much from the tour.
