Great trip in Latvia!

Kevin_K, Mar 2022

My wife and I enjoyed what turned out to be a private tour. Guides are especially important in tours like that, where it's just you and them, and we got along great with Harijs! He had tons of stories about Latvia and was willing to chat with us about anything Latvia-related, which we appreciated in light of the distressing current events. This being our first time in Latvia, we really felt as if we learned a lot about the country and its history and people. The organization of the tour is particularly well-suited for that; it was interesting to structure things so that we start further back in time and then go through the different eras. As we were visiting in March, some of the settings were less spectacular than they might have been in pretty much any other season (with more color), but we enjoyed sights like the castle in Cēsis. Because it was March during a pandemic and time of geopolitical tensions, we had most of the sites to ourselves too. The lunch was great, and we also stopped for a snack earlier in the tour. Overall, even for a private tour Harijs was very accommodating! We were even able to stop by a local grocery store to get some Latvian products on the way to the airport (where we went straight form the tour). Would recommend the tour and Latvia!
