The tourguide was very friendly, informed and we enjoyed a lovely chat. He knows the history, buildings and landmarks. I am so glad I did the tour. The sun was out, and it was most enjoyable. Definitely a MUST DO in Riga.

Great tour! Loud and clear audio playback talking about all the fantastic buildings. It was a audio playback so there wasnt avaible to ask questions or digging about the history but all in all very good trip

We did this as a last minute booking, and wasn't sure what to expect, but it was a nice way to while away and hour. The sun was shining and we got to see some lovely views of key landmarks. Good value tour to see Riga from another perspective.

It is a very nice excursion with a very good insight into various cultural treasures in Riga along the canal. The trip is very relaxed and enjoyable. The captain was very nice and answered all questions very well. Knowledge of English is an urgent recommendation. The depository is easy to find, but you have to read carefully, because there are no signs or similar. Therefore, please follow the instructions from the confirmation carefully. Great trip. Highly recommended.

Lucky enough to take an hour. Nice, simple, small boat. It felt safe to go and you got to see many places that we want to visit during our stay in Riga.
