What are people saying about Riga

2 countries! Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace and Bauska castle

IvaM_O, Nov 2026

A bang for your buck! A must see and do in Riga with Latvia Gem

This day tour with stops at both Lithuania and Latvia presented by Latvia Gem is a must-do for those who wants to see and visit hallmark destinations both countries have to offer. My husband and I were very fortunate to have Viesturs as our tour guide. We've read lots of wonderful and glowing reviews of his tours and for good reasons. With thoughtful consideration of possible rain that day, Viesturs re-arranged the order of destination stops to our favor. As a result, we maximized our time at every itinerary stop without feeling rushed AND more importantly without being rained upon! Viesturs was professional, personable, patient and so knowledgeable! We liked the idea of getting a local's perspective on things related to their arts, history and culture. He clearly loves what he does and it shows! I was aiming to complete my visit to 100 countries on this trip and this tour of two countries was heaven sent. Thank you Latvia Gem for making my dream come true!

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

ANN_M, Sep 2026

Great visit to the food market.

Zana was our local guide; walking through the market with her, you get plenty of explanations—and you really learn a lot without it feeling like a classroom lesson. It was simply fantastic; there were six of us adults, and everyone agreed that it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun without her.

Riga Old Town walking tour

Amy_B, Sep 2026

Riga is absolutely charming!

Riga is such a charming city. We really enjoyed our walking tour and learning a lot about Riga and its people. Our guide was kind enough to point out things to see and do and where the locals eat so we had plenty of places to explore after as well. This walking tour was a perfect addition to a perfect day in Riga!

Hang-Gliding Adventure Over Riga

DAN_T, Sep 2026

Absolutely Amazing Power Hang Glider Experience

What a great experience, flying in a powered hang glider over Riga. The views are amazing and it’s an experience I never thought I would get to do. The location is only a 10 min drive from the cruise port and getting a Bolt or taxi ride is no problem. Highly recommend this excursion!!!

Full-Day Private Trip to Nuclear Missile Base and Secret Soviet Bunker

Sofia_F, Aug 2026

A unique and memorable experience

This tour was amazing. I went on it solo and I’m beyond happy that I booked this. Martins picked me up right outside of my apartment and we drove to the missile base. The base itself was unlike any place I’ve seen and it felt exciting to be able to access a place of such a serious nature that used to be top secret. Martins guided me through all of it and explained everything. I was in awe. We then went to a nice roadside restaurant and Martins helped me order a dish outside of the menu that complied with my dietary restrictions, which I am so grateful for. We drove to the bunker and this was also a quite unique experience. Throughout the whole day I had heaps of interesting discussions with Martins about all of the stops we made, about Latvian politics and history and life in general. He carefully answered all the questions I had about Latvia and this combined with all of the knowledge he had to share about the places we visited made this tour so special. We then went to the battle museum and we walked around the museum together with the kind owner of the museum that also was keen on sharing more information about the items on display. The armored vehicles and the T-34 on the lawn outside of the museum were fascinating to walk around and I got to climb up on the T-34 and peak inside of it. Incredible. Throughout the whole tour, Martins was so attentive and ensured that I had a great time. The itinerary of the tour was a superb mix of things to learn about the 20th century history of Latvia and Martins made it even more impressive and memorable. Long car drives aren’t so bad when you have great conversations and good company. I was a little hesitant about booking a private tour just for myself but I have seen and learnt things that I will carry with me indefinitely. Thank you for this tour Martins!

5,5 Hour Small Group Tour to Hill of Crosses from Riga

522jurisi, Aug 2026

Fantastic. Recommended.

Nice small group tour with minibus. The guide Richard, who was also a driver, was knowledgeable and provided information during the trip. Free water bottle for every traveler. The cross hill was an amazing experience with over 2 million crosses. Lunch was not possible, but on the other hand the tour ended in Riga already at 3 pm. Coffee break was included on the trip.

Riga Gun Range: shooting with Winchester, Glock17, & Kalashnikov

M_W, Jul 2026

Enjoyed by our family of 4

The whole team were friendly, experienced, organised, communicated well before hand. Our ex-police / military instructor showed us how to stand, hold and delivered instructions & guidance in English very well. Felt safe at all times. We caught a bolt (taxi) directly to site as the square was collection not available on this day, which was easy using Bolt app (Baltic uber). This experience was a first time for all of us and we all enjoyed it, the adrenaline was definitely flowing. Would highly recommend the Sautuve

Hill of Crosses and Jelgava Tour 2 Countries in 1 Day

Jerry_M, Jul 2026

Make the pilgrimage to the Hill of Crosses in Šiauliai.

Great way to make the pilgrimage to the Hill of Crosses in Šiauliai. A must trip if you’re in Riga a few days. Small comfortable van. Bit of a drive. Tour guide was awesome! Fun, knowledgeable and talkative. The church and castle on the way back was just a bonus.

Hill of Crosses and Rundale Palace with Bauska Castle from Riga

Kim_T, Jul 2026

Maris was a fantastic...

Maris was a fantastic tour guide which he provided so much information about Latvia and Lithuania. We got to see the border crossing which was fun to get some photos, Hill of Crosses which was a must for Lithuania, beautiful Rundale palace, lunch with our group, and Bauska Castle. It was a blast and got to see other areas of Latvia. Highly recommend as a day trip

Husky Dog Sledding Tour From Riga

anneke_f, Feb 2026

Fun tour with the sleigh ride, the huskies and a walk

This was really a super fun activity! Our tourguide Jans arrived at our hotel exactly on time and it was a 40-minute drive to the Husky spot. We had to wait a bit long before it was our turn so put on very warm clothes but it was nice to see and pet the many huskies. The sled ride with the dogs is quite short, about 15 minutes but it is definitely long enough and super fun to do. The dogs go really fast, there are 6 and in between we drank some tea and ate some cookies. Afterwards we took a nice walk to a view tower. Jans sent us a very nice video of our trip afterwards. Recommended, this tour

Ultimate Husky dog sledding experience in Latvia - Private tour from Riga

Dermot_O, Jan 2026

Real fun experience driving a sledge pulled by huskies

You travel about 45 mins from Riga city centre to a forest where you will be met on arrival by the howling of the huskies as they are keen to get sledging The huskies are very friendly to humans but not to other dogs being walked nearby !! You get a chance to both sit in the sledge being pulled by the huskies and also standing on the runners at the back The huskies basically know what they are doing - so you don’t have to worry about steering along the track - you can swap over between driver and rider at half way point Total ride is about 6-7 mins long Was a very different and great experience
