Excellent guide and tour

Inga, our guide, was very friendly, professional, and informative. A very good way to get acquainted with Riga. Thank you!

Interesting and informative

Sharon_S, Aug 2024

Meeting spot was confusing as Google maps took me round the corner so be careful about that. Tour itself was a good way to see riga old town. Interesting and informative.

Great Tour

Victoria_M, Feb 2024

Inga was our tour guide and she was so knowledge and kind! We learned a lot of cool stories about Riga and saw a ton of beautiful architecture. She gave us really good recommendations for what to do for the rest of our trip. I absolutely recommend this for your first day in Riga!

Do not recommend

Jennifer_W, Dec 2023

Not very good at all. A little information about history and disbanding the military, but overall did not provide a lot of cultural information. Tour walked around a couple of parks and an old brewery. Guide was boring.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

I am very sorry to hear that you had a bad experience here in Riga. However, I think it was a different tour with a different guide. My excursion is in the Old Town area and we do not visit eny parks at all, the brewery is not an object we visit either. I hope that one day you will return to Riga and then maybe I will have the opportunity to create a better experience for you!

Great tour

Michael_H, Oct 2023

Inga was a great guide and well worth booking the tour. Riga old town is a fascinating area and learning about it from a local was very interesting.

Good overview

Larry_G, Oct 2023

Good overview of Tallin. Walked around the entire old town. Inga was very knowledgeable. Lots of uneven cobblestones

Excellent

The best old town tour with a good price!

Jani_V, Jun 2023

We had a tour on the special day for Latvian people!! Many people were at the meeting point so we met at Opera house! She contacted me before we met so that it was easy to find her! She was such a nice friendly person and of course she was such a knowledgeable person too!!! We learned a lot about history and life of Latvia!! Tour was 1.5-2hs but time went so fast! I 120% recommend you to take this tour!!!

Well organised and informative tour with Inga

Krystal_S, May 2023

I enjoyed my time with Inga as we explored Riga. I had done a group tour earlier which was quite large and felt some info got lost in the big group. The personalised experience meant that Inga could show me other things not necessarily covered on the standard free tour and it felt more like friends going for a stroll and catching up with me getting alot of information that I hadnt before. I would recommend Inga for your old town Riga tour

Excellent tour

Patrick_I, Dec 2019

I was the lone customer for my tour and it was great. Comprehensive, and guide took her time despite small group and poor weather.

Great and informative tour.

Private walking tour of old town

Marie_L, Jun 2019

Our guide was excellent and we had a nice time talking to her. She showed us many Beautiful Buildings and historical places. We learnt alot about Lithuanian history and about Lithuania of today. We learnt so much and had a very nice time so we highly recommend this Walking tour!

Fin og god opplevelse i Riga

En utrolig fin opplevelse, vi var 4 personer og en guide, det var ganske fint og personlig , vi kom veldig nær guiden og kunne stille spørsmål , prate og le.
