Very thorough tour covering all significant layers of Latvia’s impressive history. Tour guide was as knowledgeable as passionate about Latvia in general and Riga specifically.

Comprehensive Tour

Published on Dec, 2023

The private walking tour of Riga was fantastic! Our guide was thorough in her explanation of the sights we saw in Riga. Visiting the Freedom Monument and the Central Market were especially meaningful and interesting. So glad we booked this walking tour, even if the weather was bitter cold that day!
