5.00This is a really great trip. Definitely a must do when you are in Riga! Martin is going to be your driver and guide for the day! He is such a nice guy, great driver and very knowledgeable about everything! He not only told us a lot of interesting facts about the places we’ve seen on the tour, but has also been kind enough to tell us stories and information about Riga and Latvia in general. We recommend booking this trip and enjoying an amazing day with Martin!
