What To Expect
Smile Line Day Tours
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!

Great tour and guide

5.00We were looking for a smaller group walking tour and this one was perfect. Turned out to be only 3 of us, guided by Gunta, who was excellent. She took time to explain the history and and provided the color and experience that only a native could. Riga is a beautiful city with a picturesque old town. Sure you could walk around and see the sites … but you only get the background and insights from a guide like Gunta. Thanks for a great tour!
Great walking tour.

5.00Very informative guide and route took in all the best sites. Even went in to some museums and a church. Would just note in the info on meeting location to say " look for yellow umbrella" for ease of location. Thank you.

5.00Brilliant 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.
Dry, tough and masterful

2.00We 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.
