Great tour! - Diana was a knowledgeable, charming, and enthusiastic tour guide! She took all all over the Old Town, showing us the sights and telling great stories. Highly recommend. Note however that this is a FREE tour so Viator should not charge to book it.

A great introduction to beautiful Riga. - A very thorough and interesting tour telling us the tumultuous history that Latvia has faced. Showing us a lot of the "must sees" in Old Riga, but also suggesting other things to see, do and eat! Karlus was a very enthusiastic tour guide, with great English, able to answer most of the questions asked by the group. I highly recommend this if you want to learn a lot in a short period of time.

Walking through Riga can be fun - We had a tour with Guna and she did a great job. Learned from the main buildings in the old town within a historical perspective. Go there. Such a learning experience.

Disaster - The guide took off and very upset and did not finish the tour. We are very disappointed as we have little time in the city. The guide did not explain the reason for stopping.
