5.00We visited during the 3rd week of February 2026. Rihard has been an outstanding guide: knowledgeable, very kind and patient, always ready to help and answer our questions. His dogs are amazing and very well behaved. Our children (10 and 12) and we will never forget the thrill of the husky sledding and the fantastic walk in the woods and over the frozen lake. We HIGHLY recommend Discover Latvia!
Wild Latvia and Jurmala tour

5.00This day was excellent value; a deeply informative way to explore Latvia's healthy and biodiverse countryisde, whilst staying safe in it's endless bogs and forests. Rihard is a thoroughly likeable guide, keen to bring to life Latvia's rich cultural history, and to tailor the tour to your specific interests. A surprise picnic was a really lovely idea and we enjoyed some of Latvia's favorite foods. We were thoroughly entertained and fit a lot into the day. Our teens loved the floating boardwalk and we came away with some great family shots. Remember your binoculars; apart from many species of dragonfly, we saw lesser-spotted eagle, red-backed shrike, red-breasted flycatcher, marsh harrier and tree pippit. These are all either absent or super-rare at home. We would definitely suggest this as a way to get to know Latvia outside of the city.
Two great days out

5.00We've been on two tours with Rihard on our week holiday to Latvia, both were amazing. He is a brilliant guide, full of interesting information on the tours as well as places to eat and drink in Riga. We did the husky sled trip, luckily in snow which was fantastic. Plenty of time with the dogs before and a great little hike afterwards. Secondly we did the full day tour, castle, deer farm and a nature trail with a 5km walk through the national park. Reasonable prices and prompt collecting from a friendly guide, A* would definitely recommend.

5.00They made it easy to organize a customized day tour. Excellent communication leading up to our event. Met us shipside. Could have told us to meet them outside the port, but Rihards went the extra mile and sought out permission to come into the port to meet us right off the gang way. Made it so much easier. Rihards Was an excellent guide. Had a lot of information and folklore to share with us during the entire day. Took us to all the requested stops and added in a few more as time allowed. Absolutely recommend this company for your tour needs.
