What are people saying about Riga

We absolutely loved our walking tour in Riga!
We absolutely loved our walking tour in Riga! Our guide made the Old Town feel magical, full of stories, charm, and little hidden details we never would have discovered on our own.
From the beautiful Town Hall Square to the stunning churches and cozy streets, every stop felt special because of the way she brought the history to life. We especially loved hearing the unbelievable story about St. Peter’s Church and learning why the flowers in Livu Square are always blue — those little details made the tour feel so personal and memorable.
And of course, the adorable Cat House was one of our favorite moments! Finding the famous cat and hearing the funny story behind it made us smile the entire day. It’s those charming touches that made this tour stand out so much.
Our guide was warm, knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely passionate about Riga. She also gave wonderful local tips at the end of the tour that made the rest of our stay even better.
Thank you for such a lovely experience and for making us fall in love with Riga. We will remember this tour very fondly!

Very enjoyable trip
We really enjoyed this tour and it was made all the more special by Janis. He was very knowledgeable and patient with the group throughout. We loved the visit to the Hill of Crosses which was an interesting experience. The travel in the minivan was also very comfortable which meant we had a very smooth journey. 10/10 would recommend this trip.

Great choice of samplings, timing and great value
The tour starts in the agencies office in the House of Blackheads with tasting of Riga black balsam. For those not drinking alcohol, apple juice from managers garden was served.
During the walk to the market the guide told us some interesting facts about Riga’s history.
In the market time flew very fast as we visited different hangars and have several tasting stops where we were sampled with traditional soup, grey peas, smoked chicken wings, rye bread in different usage, hemp based pestos, smoked sprats and herring fillet sandwiches and of course nice local cheese in three flavors. For the first time i tried a fresh birch tree sap which is very healthy seasonal beverage harvested only in the spring.
After all this well thought choices of sampling I really had a full stomach, so consider not to have a lunch before this tour. 100% recommend!

Stunning from start to finish
Our Tour guide was very polite, funny and extremely knowledgeable about Latvia. There were regular opportunities for a bathroom break throughout the journey so if you need to take regular trips to the bathroom this trip would be for you. We started by seeing the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania, a stunning location with hundreds of thousands of crosses situated on two hills. The guide gave us a quick overview of the history of the hills and took photos (for those who wanted it). We then went to Rundale Palace, which was faithfully restored after Latvia's independence from the soviet union (a nice touch is the room that shows you how the rooms looked when they started, the contrast is incredible). This was also where we got lunch and saw the stunning french-style garden afterwards. After this we went to Bauska Castle, where we climbed up the tower to see the picturesque surroundings of the Bauska town (along with the history of the tower). Overall the trip started at 8 and finished around 5 / half 5, and is must do for those travelling to Riga or Vilnius.

Great experience-a must do!
Amazing experience! We were lucky enough to have our trip while snowing, and got to see the castles in a beautiful setting, but in any case, the experience is amazing. Our guide, Maria, was absolutely incredible, very talkative and friendly, gave us very interesting information about the history of the castles and the area, as well as the broader history of Latvia. Also, enjoyed visiting the bobsleigh court.

Had a fantastic day on this tour. Norman was a brilliant guide and ensured the day ran at a perfect speed with no rushing. He recommended a beautiful restaurant for lunch to try the local Lithuanian cuisine which was lovely. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone and would jump at the chance to do another tour with Norman.

Great day!
Our driver was great! Picked up us promptly and helped with our luggage. He spoke English fluently and shared so much information about Latvia and Estonia. We had lots of laughs. Really enjoyed our drive. We took a little extra time in Parnu so we could have lunch. He didn’t mind. Great day!

What a fantastic tour! As...
What a fantastic tour! As a regular visitor to Riga, it was great to see and learn about some other parts of the country. Rundale Palace reminded me a lot of the grand palaces it St Petersburg, whilst The Hill of Crosses in Lithuania was quite a site to behold.
Jānis the tour guide was great at explaining about each place, as well as being very down to earth and just generally great fun!

Wonderful food tour
This is a must do in Riga, Guna is a wonderful host, very knowledgeable and a great sense of humour.
We were a small group, just 8 of us but she made everyone feel very welcome and individual.
We tasted so much, and there was a story for everything which was great.
Book ASAP!

Excellent guide, amazing tour
This was an amazing tour for our family of adults and children alike. Lina was an excellent tour guide! She was very knowledgeable about Riga history and shared with us great history and numerous legends of this historical city supported by the book of pictures depicting the sites at different moments of history, e.q. the devastating consequences of WWII. She also recommended many tips for other sites beyond the itinerary,as well as restaurants to visit. She was also very warm and friendly and generous with her time on the tour. We definitely recommend her tour.

Lovely drive to Hill of Crosses
I had an amazing experience with Krista (our tour guide). She was very knowledgeable, humorous and easy to communicate with.
She took great care of the group and kept telling us interesting stories about all the locations. She offered us some sweets as well. Great experience overall.

Does what it says on the tin
this is a very efficient way of travelling if you are 2 or 3 . It is cost effective and comfortable to include sight seeing at our own pace. Artis our driver was very safe and courteous. The only unclear thing was about tip to give to driver. It was not made clear whether we expected to do this as it costs about £400 for the transfer and 10% would be £40. Normally at this price point gratuity would be included in the cost. It would be better to make it clear whether is expected or not to avoid any embarrassment.
