Riga Pub Crawl team invites you to discover Riga's nightlife together! Meet with other travellers so you can party together and who knows - maybe find some friends to share other activities with while in Riga! During the tour, you will be visiting 3 different bars and the local dance club at the end with 1 welcome drink (a beer or a shot depending on the place) in each of these 4 places. Apart from the welcome drinks, you will be able to order more drinks by yourselves - all reasonably priced. We're not interested to take you to expensive places! Only to the ones where we would go ourselves! There will be a bar with a place where to sit down and chat so you can get to know each other, there will be karaoke to practise your singing for the public, and of course - there will be live music and a dance floor! Let's say the tour gives you a great start for the best night out! Please note that tour would be cancelled only if there are less than 4 people in the group.

Krista is AMAZING! I initially enquired about booking a private crawl for 15 lads from the UK, but Krista was so efficient & helpful we ended up booking all of our activities and transfers through her and it was a pleasure. She was always quick to reply and everything we booked went without issue, which included airport transfers, beer bike, private pub crawls, private boat trip and a few added extras along the way ;o) The pub crawls themselves were decent (from what I can remember anyway), our guides Gita & Diana were a good laugh and took us to some cool bars we would never have known about without them. Riga is an amazing place, and when we return, we won’t look to anywhere else other than Krista to help organise our trip. Legend!

Guide never showed up or bothered to contact or inform me in anyway about cancellation. Very unprofessional. I recommend avoiding this operator like a plague.
