Walking tour of Riga old town - Excellent tour to understand more about the history of the city, & Lativa, and see the iconic old town sites.
Tour guide was informative & mindful to keep moving whilst occasionally popping into some warmth as it was -10C.
Well worth doing for local knowledge & insight before deciding what else to visit over a long weekend.

Would definitely call on this guide again - Our guide was a native, with excellent English, very engaging and informative. He provided excellent historic and cultural context to the sites. We followed his advice and were pleased with specific sites we later visited as well as dining options.

Nice couple of hours in old town - Great couple of hours in Riga Old Town. Guide shared interesting information and tour was great despite the cold! The only detail is that the guide asked for a tip at the end. For a couple of hours after a payed tour, this really did not feel ok.

Walking Tour - Excellent and very good guide and very interesting tour.
The only thing i did not like about it was that the Group was far to big so it was slightly difficult to hear the guide at times.
