A very insightful tour of Old Riga from a friendly guide. :-) - Visited Riga in early September 2024. Was pleasantly surprised to have had a one-to-one walking tour with Inga (it made a real positive impression on me that she had committed to the tour, given that a couple of other tours I had booked in the city, and nearby, with other tour providers had cancelled due to low participation numbers). *A very insightful tour from a friendly guide and we also came across a statue of George Armitstead (Mayor of Riga from 1901, who had family connections in my home city of Dundee in Scotland, so what a small world!). :-)

Nice tour to give key of the city - We have a nice tour with Inga. She speaks slowly, gives us key to understand the city and the culture. More over she takes time to give us a lot of advice and suggestion. It was easy to undersand her English!

Great Tour - 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 - 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.
