Very good historical trip - A great way to hear Riga's history. Gunta was super cute and good at answering questions. We were only three on the trip, so easy both to hear and understand. Super good experience!

Great tour - Great tour. Our guide, Ilara, was friendly and informative. We covered all the main sites in and around the old town, at a good pace. Small group and could hear well. Only regret is we bought through Tripadvisor / Viator and it cost a lot more vs turning up at the meeting point and paying on the day, when the 1.5 hour tour was €13.50 per person. Highly recommended.

Enthusiasm for history and art - Wonderful tour. Īnara was so enthusiastic and knew everything about Riga and Latvia. I knew nothing about the country beforehand and ended up appreciating its convoluted history, the resilience of its people and their beautiful art and architecture. We had a blast, totally recommended!
