Latvian food tasting tour at Riga Central market (20 tastes)

Jason_K, Jun 2026

Great way to get a basic...

Great way to get an understanding of Latvian food and to learn about the historical and current importance of the Riga Central Market. The size and scale of the market are unique and it should be a must see while in Riga. My tour with Baiba was a great learning and tasting experience. She’s a fantastic tour guide and extremely knowledgeable about Latvian food and culture. I highly recommend doing this tour.

Riga Old Town Walking Tour in a Small Group

Sarah_P, May 2026

Good overview of Riga

Excellent historical overview of the city. The pace was good and we learned a lot. Although I had trouble with the headset initially, it was swapped out and then worked fine. Two others had trouble with the headsets as well. I would definitely recommend this walking tour as a nice way to learn about Riga. There was non-stop flow of information.

Riga Old Town walking tour

Diana_R, May 2026

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!

Riga Central Market & Traditional Food tasting experience

Ed_N, Apr 2026

This was a great...

This was a great introduction to Latvia food and the large central market. Sorry, I think the tour guide name was Ina? She was great, told us a lot of great info about various Latvian things. Her pace is a little on the quicker side which I appreciated. Starting the tour with balsam tastings was pretty cool.

Soaring with Boris: Epic Hang Gliding Over Riga!

What an incredible adventure hang gliding over Riga! Boris, with over 40 years of experience, made the entire experience safe and thrilling as we soared above the Old Town, Daugava River, and Baltic Sea views. Booking was a breeze via WhatsApp with Tatyana, who responded quickly and clearly to confirm times and details - no hassle at all. Boris’s calm expertise put me at ease from briefing to landing, turning a bucket list thrill into pure magic. Highly recommend for adrenaline seekers!

The best of Riga segway tour

Martin_M, Mar 2026

Great fun and great memories

We booked this as a fun way to see the sights in Riga. We had never used segways before and so we had to learn from zero. Thomas and the guys were great in the initial training and within minutes we were good to go. It was really a great way to tour the city because it opens up pathways and streets as route options and it's just great fun. As a result we saw a large area of the city without having to take a step. Our guide Thomas was very informative and explained the history of the city in an interesting way. Great memories to take with us. Highly recommended.

Excellent Eduardas! A great Riga tour guide

Our tour guide, Eduardas, was simply fantastic! He pitched the tour perfectly for our students (aged 12-14) and was engaging and very informative. He was patient, waiting for slower legs to catch-up!, and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Riga and very talented speaking 4 languages! Thank you, Eduardas.

I am glad I decided to do...

I am glad I decided to do this trip. I could have visited these places by myself, however, having a guide to explain the background and also the history of those places made it much more enjoyable. The guide, Tomass, was extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited and really knew how to keep us informed and entertianed!

2 Hours Walking Tour in Legends and Secret of Riga's Old Town

Private Historical Tour of Riga - time well spent!

We had a short time in Riga. We felt that Lina's tour gave us the biggest bang for our buck. It was thorough with lots of historical information. After the tour, we went back to a couple of museums that she had pointed out. Lina recommended a local restaurant for lunch. Although we only had 24 hours in Riga, with Lina's private tour we made the most of it.
