Really good tour of the city, thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide was amazing too, she was so knowledgable and knew exactly where all the good spots are - would definitely recommend. If you only have a few days in Riga like I did, I’d recommend doing this tour on your first day in the city so you get your bearings and know where to visit .

Enjoyed the history of the country, city, people, and places. Inara (I may be spelling her name incorrectly) was knowledgeable, funny and interesting. She was also very open to all of my nephew's questions (he's a history buff).
