3.00I would have given this tour a 4 if it didn't have the doll garden it was a little weird to have as part of a tour. No one from our group was even interested and also said it was freaky, weird, the word was gobsmacked. We got off the tour bus and back on the tour bus within 5 minutes.

Jumping Up stream

5.00It was a great day out. Lots of countryside to see with our guide Jānis telling us stories and history about the area. Latvia Gem is a great company to travel with. They treated us more like family rather than just a tour company. Jānis our tour guide was so much fun, had us in fits of laughter with mythical stories, history and personal experiences. He was also extremely helpful as 2 of the 4 guests on our trip had leg or knee issues and needed help in and out of the minivan. Nothing was to much trouble for him he was very accommodating and a gentleman. We can highly recommend this trip. And a bonus for us the Vimba fish were jumping up stream, such an added bonus for us.

5.00Excellent trip. My guide Janis was fantastic also well done to Krista for asking if 3 others travellers would change their date so I could go on the trip. I am slightly disabled but Janis was very kind and looked after us all very well
Fantastic Trip

5.00The whole day was highly enjoyable. Krista the host was fantastic. She really put us at ease. Kuldiga itself is a beautiful town and worth the two hour plus journey to get there. It's beautiful and the tour of the town on a train helps show you the sights and the small alleys you wouldn't otherwise see. The architecture is amazing. The Venta waterfall is stunning and the observation tower gives you a fantastic view. Walking in the waterfall is a great experience. We didn't walk the entire length as it was slippery, but you could do so if you wanted. Very different to Riga itself, worth visiting if you're after such a change.

5.00Kulidiga has a lot of untouched medieval buildings, giving me a more realistic feel of this ancient time. The guide is also very knowledgeable which gives the whole trip more meanings.
