10/10 experience - Today I had a full day tour with Rolands, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Rolands’ extensive knowledge of the area, its plants, animals, and history was truely impressive. His passion for conservation and nature made the tour not only informative but incredibly enjoyable. I'm seriously considering returning to Latvia just to take another one of his tours, especially to explore the west coast. If you're planning a trip to Latvia, I highly recommend booking a tour with Roland!!

A great experience! Get to know the nature and history of Latvia. - An exciting visit! We were able to walk through the forests of the Gaujas National Park, learning in depth about the nature of the place, some natural caves and the river. Some beautiful views! We got to know Sigulda and visited the castle and the museum. Ronalds was a fantastic guide! He explained to us in detail how the environment has changed and how they maintain the forests. Also about the history of the place. He took us to eat at a very good restaurant, where we tasted typical, well-made dishes. Although the visit is in English, Ronalds also speaks a little Spanish, so there were no problems understanding each other. He was very attentive and fun, he cared about us at all times and took many photos of us🤗 We liked it a lot and we recommend it to all those who want to know more than just the city of Riga.
