Tracy – United States

Armands was fabulous! He was very informative and knowledgeable about Riga, Latvia, and the region we visited. He made sure we were comfortable, was humorous and made the tour feel personal. He even took good photos of us, making sure to "frame" us well to get great pictures :) The region was a lovely contrast to the city, with history and stories all of its own. Decent amount of walking but not all at the same time. Highly recommend the tour, and Armands as your guide!

Brilliant! Armands was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was able to give loads of historical insight into the places we visited, along with a friendly and fun manner. Would definitely recommend!

Full description

Embark on a personal and immersive adventure on a private van tour from Riga to Sigulda and Turaida. Customize your itinerary to your preferences and visit sights such as Gauja National Park, Sigulda Manor and Castle, and Turaida Castle. Sit back and relax in the comfort of your private vehicle and watch the landscape change from city streets to lush greenery as you head out of Riga. Make your way to Sigulda, a town near the river Gauja that is also known as the Switzerland of Latvia by locals. Marvel at the Gauja valley with its dense forests, meandering river, and the Gauja National Park. Stop to stroll through the park before seeing the Sigulda Medieval Castle ruins, the new Sigulda Castle, the Turaida Castle museum with its watchtower peering above the trees, and Gutman's Cave, the widest and highest cave in the Baltic countries. Cross the river on the optional cable car ride for a different perspective of the region or enjoy a glass of local wine made in the Cremon Winery at Krimulda Manor. See local craftsmen and women at work to gain an insight into local and cultural life before heading back to Riga. This half day tour is a must for those who have visited Riga and Jurmala before and is especially recommended for bloggers and social media fans. Check my other tours on Get Your Guide! Booked tours are guaranteed!
