Highlighted reviews from other travelers
We explored the central market with our guide Gunta eating local foods and learning a little about the history and local area. This tour was a great opportunity to try authentic Latvian foods that you wouldn’t necessarily seek out whilst visiting. Great experience.
This food tour was a true highlight of my trip! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights into Latvian food and culture. The tastings were varied and delicious – from smoked fish and rye bread to local cheeses and modern snacks. Each stop felt authentic and well-chosen. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Riga through its flavors!
