We did a tour with Krista and Amber Tours to Rundale Palace in Latvia and the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania. Krista was an amazing guide who provided us with a lot of information and perspective on living in Riga. The drive seemed to fly by as we talked non-stop with Krista and learned a lot of about her culture and life in Latvia.

Jurmala is a Latvian beach resort city - 5th largest city in the country! Located just 30min drive from the Riga city centre, it is the perfect destination for sunny day at the beach, a frosty walk in the wintertime and of course - this is the perfect city to admire different architecture styles all standing side by side! We invite you to go on a beautiful drive through tour of the city followed by a walk on the pedestrian street and after all to end the day on the beach with a beautiful sunset! Of course, we can not guarantee a sunny day and that sunset part, but as we mentioned, the city has so much more to offer so it is stunning at any time of the day and in any weather conditions. And did we mention that you can go for a swim as well? We like to keep our tours enjoyable and flexible so we will give you some free time to spend on the beach in the way that you want - swimming, having a drink at the beach bar, picnicking in the white sand or anything else that you can imagine!

Kemeri great bog boardwalk is a perfect choice if you wish to escape the city fuss and recharge your batteries by nature. You will be taken Kemeri National Park - the 3rd largest national park in Latvia! Here you will have time to enjoy ~3,7km long walk on a nicely made wooden path in the great bog. There is also a shorter path which is about 1,5km long but the long route includes a viewing platform which allows you to see further and truly appreciate this amazing territory! Sunset is definitely one of the most spectacular and romantic moments of the day. We will let you choose if you wish the guide to go with you or enjoy the moment by yourselves while your guide/driver is waiting for your return back at the car. Clear weather or a cloudy eve, this is definitely a beautiful site to visit if you're a nature lover.
