Excellent tour by Gita

Gita was very informative of the history and culture of Riga and Latvia. I learned so much and got to see so many landmarks. I was keen to see the famous art nouveau buildings and Gita pointed out a lot of them and explained the history. I also appreciated her recommendations of the top 3 items to buy as souvenirs. And I liked how she asked at the beginning what we were looking forward to seeing in Riga and again at the end what our biggest impression was of Riga.

We absolutely loved our walking tour in Riga!

Diana_R, May 2026

We absolutely loved our walking tour in Riga! Our guide made the Old Town feel magical, full of stories, charm, and little hidden details we never would have discovered on our own. From the beautiful Town Hall Square to the stunning churches and cozy streets, every stop felt special because of the way she brought the history to life. We especially loved hearing the unbelievable story about St. Peter’s Church and learning why the flowers in Livu Square are always blue — those little details made the tour feel so personal and memorable. And of course, the adorable Cat House was one of our favorite moments! Finding the famous cat and hearing the funny story behind it made us smile the entire day. It’s those charming touches that made this tour stand out so much. Our guide was warm, knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely passionate about Riga. She also gave wonderful local tips at the end of the tour that made the rest of our stay even better. Thank you for such a lovely experience and for making us fall in love with Riga. We will remember this tour very fondly!
