What are people saying about Riga

Leila_G, Apr 2026

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!

From Riga: Hill of Crosses & Guided Rundale Palace, Bauska Castle

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.

Very good day out

Trip does exactly what it says it will. Very good knowledgeable guide who imparted lots of interesting facts without it being too over the top. Good coach. A good opportunity to see the countryside. It was a well put together mixture of places and sights. Highly recommend

Sigulda & Turaida Legends Day Trip from Riga

Louiza_P, Jan 2026

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.

Group Day trip to Rundale Palace, Hill of Crosses & Bauska Castle

Pedro_F, Oct 2025

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!

Riga Old Town walking tour

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.

Pavel_F, Aug 2025

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.

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

Charlotte_P, Jun 2025

Fantastic experience with...

Fantastic experience with our guide Viesturs - was very happy to answer our questions. The hill of crosses was interesting, Viesturs also offered other stops if we were interested in them which was nice. It is 1hr30-1hr40 in one direction on a very straight, uninteresting road, but Viesturs kept up entertained throughout.

Riga to Vilnius - Sightseeing transfer

George_Z, Jun 2025

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.

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.
