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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
