5.00We had a great tour with Irana who gave us so much information about Riga, the architecture, and its history. We were taken to parts of the city that we would never have found by ourselves and also a personal account from Irana about what it was like living under Soviet rule, which was fascinating. We booked direct with the company and it was cheaper than through an agent. If you're interested in history, this is a must do.
