Excellent private tour with Liga

Our guide Liga was incredibly knowledgable and gave us a fantastic day in Riga. We learnt about history, art, culture and much more. We are well traveled and have high standards, and we were very happy that Liga was our guide. Time and money well invested. Ask for Liga - she was a great guide and spoke excellent English. // Three ladies from Sweden

An informative and extensive tour. Liga, our guide, was very knowledgeable and told us all about the different areas we visited (old town, art nouveau district, Freedom Monument, central market) and made excellent recommendations for foods to try. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed a full morning tour with our guide Edīte who was friendly, knowledgable and sensitive to our needs and wishes. The small group (6 on tour) made it easy going and relaxed. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Great walking tour of Riga

One of the best tours we have done. Harry, our guide, was waiting for us and took us on a great 4 hour walking tour of Riga. His knowledge was first class and he was a pleasure to be with. Finished the tour in the local market with a gastronomic tasting session of local foods. Highly recommend.

An interesting day in the rain!
Chris K
, Sep 2019
Just as Liga our tour guide arrived at the meeting point the heavens opened and most of the tour was spent putting umbrellas up and down! Despite this the tour was so interesting the rain didn't spoil it. Liga was so knowledgeable about the Old Town of Riga. We particularly enjoyed the Art Nouveau district and she gave us so much information about these buildings. Back to the Old Town and a stop off for coffee was most welcome and then on to see not only the beautiful architecture but she pointed out good restaurants and things we wouldn't have noticed on our own. Final stop was to the Central Market which was amazing, so much to see here in the old zeppelin hangars. Well worth doing this trip as it set us up to then go on and explore more on our own. Credit to Liga, she certainly knows her town!

Thumbs Up to Both the Tour and Viator!

First use of Viator. Booked 2 tours, both very good, not just cheaper but also better and more intimate than our cruise shore excursions. This tour was the best! This was partly due to Riga with its wonderful Art Nouveau buildings and positive vibe but mostly because the tour itinerary, max 10 participants, and the tour guide. Our guide was made for her job - personable, very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and diligent. Did a marvelous job bringing Riga to life. We messed up on the meeting location and she made sure by cell phone that we connected with the group. Very well done!
