What are people saying about Riga

Nyles_M, Apr 2026

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.

Hill of crosses

Great comms before visit and clear instructions for pick up. Minibus driver and Edite our guide were both welcoming and the minibus was comfortable. Edite was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable and took time to answer any questions. The stops for the border and the hill of crosses gave us the right time to explore. The tour was extremely smooth and we were so well looked after. Lunch stop was lovely too. 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.

Get out of the city!

Edĩte was an excellent guide! She was knowledgeable about the sites and history of Riga and Latvia. The driver was courteous. The sites themselves were also interesting. You get out of Riga see the surrounding suburbs and landscape. We got to stop for coffee before exploring the castle at Sigulda, then stopped by the biggest cave in Latvia (not that big, but interesting folklore), and hiked to Turkish to explore. On the way back, we stopped at lunch at the cat bistro which was delicious.

Martin_T, Oct 2025

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!

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.

Great introduction to Riga with an excellent guide

This was the perfect introduction to Riga which you should take on your first day here. Good combination of history of Riga and explanation of key sites that you can then revisit at your leisure. Learnt so much more than if we had explored in our own. Our guide Gouna was the best! Highly recommend.

Discover Riga Bike Tour

Jet_C, Jun 2025

Wide travels

Excellent coverage of the areas further out than the old town. Heard very interesting stories from our informative and friendly guide. Really enjoyed the freedom of roaming around on a bike and felt safe. Loved the variety the city has to offer and felt my knowledge of Riga’s history has broadened a lot. Mostly flat - and sometimes bumpy.
