My name is Riga. I was born more than eight centuries ago at the Daugava River and since then I have become much more beautiful and attractive. My father was Bishop Albert of Livonia and I was happy with it, but then came a lot of foreigners, who wanted to conquer my heart. However, I managed to stay strong and proud. Listen to my name again – Ri-ga. It sounds like music, like a promise, like a secret. Come and discover it!

Very detailed content from a very knowledgeable guide. Even in temperatures of -9 degrees, she kept our party engaged for almost 2 hours.

Very Informative tour and well paced. We were the only people on the tour as it was so cold. We learned a lot over the 90 minutes and came away with a lot of useful successions. We worth it!

Great guide, offered personal experiences and great perspectives and stories. The weather was very cold and she did a nice job of making stops along the way to warm us up!

Fabulous tour with a knowledgeable guide. She packed in so much information in the 1.5hrs, I learnt so much about the old town, the buildings, the changes over the years, the stories associated with the statues & the old town wall too.

The guide never came, neither were we ever informed about cancellation. Its a pity, wasted our precious time.

Brilliant walking tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and explained the history behind Riga’s most significant buildings really well. The hidden gems she showed us were a lovely bonus too. Highly recommend.

We were a small group of 4 people. The tour felt very rushed as we were walking in the walking stride. No time to take a picture. Sometimes something less is more! For my taste, the guide was too masterful ("did you pay attention?") and quite dry in her remarks.
