What To Expect
Riga Central Market
The Central Market is the central and largest market in Riga, located in the city center, in the Latgale neighborhood, south of the city canal (Kārļa Basin), opposite the Riga International Bus Station. On other sides, it is bounded by Lastādijas, Emīlijas Benjamiņas and Vilhelma Purvīša streets.
Riga Railway Bridge
The Railway Bridge (Latvian: Dzelzceļa tilts) is a bridge that crosses the Daugava river in Riga, the capital of Latvia. The first iron railway bridge in Riga, over 600 ftm long, was erected in 1871–1872[1] for the Riga–Jelgava Railway. The new bridge was inaugurated 1914, shelled twice, during World War I in 1917 and World War II in 1944, and was rebuilt both times.[2] The bridge is nowadays the only railway bridge in Riga. The bridge will be duplicated as part of the new Rail Baltica line through Riga.

Unexpectedly the tour was guided in Greek
KarenAa33,Jul 20, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
2.00This tour doesn’t offer an audio guide in various languages (like we thought - and like other companies offers). The price was 15 EUR similar to competitors. Our tour (July 20, 2025) was guided in Greek, because the majority were Greek. And we so not understand Greek. So I cannot recommend this tour, because you depend on the majority of fellow travelers to agree on an language you understand. If you’re unlucky the tour will be reduced to a boat tour without any explanation. That said, our captain really tried to tell us a little bit in English, when possible in between the Greek guide. This could have been solved by offering audio guides to the minority group in various languages. But until then…reconsider this company.
Departure point did not match plan

- Review from Viator
2.00The location of the departure point could not be found according to the given plan.All we asked did not know where the departure point for the tour is. The spot marked on the plan did not match. We were there 90 minutes earlier, which helped us to find due departure point for due canal tour in time. The tour was good.
