At quite short notice, we booked a walking tour of the old town. It turned out that it was only ourselves on the tour when we got there so we got a fantastic personal tour with our guide Gunta. We were taken to see all of the best sites in the old town with Gunta giving us brilliant insights along the way. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to see this part of the city.

It was the best choice to come from Vilnius to Riga with visiting all great point between cities. We saw frightful Hill of Crosses and amazing Rundale Palace Museum. I guess we wouldn't have visited these countrysides places without support. The good bonus for us was interesting Riga trip where we visited main sightpoints and squares. It was really helpful because we stayed in Riga for next 2 days and could plan our routes without advice, based on previous information. Thank you Vadim for our fruitfull tour!

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.

Latvian cuisine is exquisite and this is the perfect tour to discover it. We went around Rīga's central market with Liga, who introduced us to many flavours our palates had never tasted before: pickled veggies, hearty soups, delicious pastries. She made sure we were following all the sanitary requirements and we felt super safe with her. We couldn't recommend this tour enough. This is an experience for all senses since colours also invade you from all around. Great gourmet experience overall. Thanks Liga!

The trip to the hill of crosses was super fun. Our guide Erlens was super funny, informative. We didn't feel the 1hour 45 mins trip at all. He was telling us about the history of Latvia and Riga and gave us a lot of interesting information. At the hill of crosses he explained the history of the place and few interesting story related to the area. The way driving back to Riga was super fun also. Thank you Erlens and we highly recommend this tour to everyone. Best Regards Ahmed and Jarkko
