It was a quirky and interesting tour with a variety of different things to visit. The nature walk was great and I wouldn’t have been able to do it otherwise. The guide was full of information and answered a wide range of questions. It was a very long time to sit and I thought that some things such as lunch could have been shorter.

This was a fabulous way to see the sites and get a feel for the city before starting to explore on your own. The guide was excellent and very informative. It certainly saved my arthritic knees a lot of walking. I got to see everything in Old Town. I highly recommend this tour!

Kayaking Adventure in Riga
GlobeTrotting596817, Sep 2026
Don't hesitate, just do it!
Well, I wish I could give it 10 Stars! Stef (Stefanija) was a truly amazing kayak guide. We took a two-person kayak out in the waters around Riga and explored everything there was to see. She even made allowances for starting early due to the fact that it was going to rain, and she soldiered through with me through the second part of the tour which was rainy but that actually made it all the more the better, she actually even supplied me with a poncho and dry bag to keep my things dry. Although many guides would have called off the tour in the middle due to the incoming rain, she actually gave me an option to extend the tour to include a green area of the canal off of the Daugava River, while entertaining me with her great singing. I felt safe with her at all times, she was safety conscious and utterly hospitable about her great country of Latvia . She taught me a lot about the locality of Riga, the old historical town, some of the older architecture, and some of the new changes. Stef is rightly proud of her city and country. She is a natural at guiding and I do not hesitate to recommend her if one wants to have a good time on the water!

Absolutely Amazing Power Hang Glider Experience
What a great experience, flying in a powered hang glider over Riga. The views are amazing and it’s an experience I never thought I would get to do. The location is only a 10 min drive from the cruise port and getting a Bolt or taxi ride is no problem. Highly recommend this excursion!!!

Excellent river cruise and good value for money
We paid the operator as we arrived and boarded the boat. On busier days you would probably have to book. The one hour cruise along the river was relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable. It was a great way to see Riga from a different perspective

What an amazing experience kayaking st sunset in Rigas river and canals. A different perspective that givea just another flavor to your visit to Riga. The colors of the sunset and the city that starts to light up were incredible. Also we could eat dinner floating in the river ! What a relaxing and adventurous experience! Our guides were amazing and also took pics and videos of us !

Hang-Gliding Adventure Over Riga

Calling all adrenaline junkies
I thoroughly enjoyed this unique experience. It was thrilling seeing Riga from several hundred feet in the air. As an encore, the pilot took a few sharp turns around the air field which really got the adrenaline pumping! Tatyana is very friendly and handled all the communications really well. All, the score proved to be good value for money and I would recommend all thrill-seekers you make it a part of their itinerary.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with our tour guide Krista. She was reliable and made us feel welcome from the first moment. Throughout the tour, she shared interesting insights and humorous facts about everyday life in Latvia, which made the tour both educational and entertaining. Her warm personality created a family‑like atmosphere and we liked the opportunity to try a traditional Latvian specialty during the tour. We had enough time to visit both the Palace Rundale with its gardens as well as Bauska Castle, the reason why we chose this tour. She answered every questions and gave us tips for local restaurants and sights. Overall, we felt completely comfortable and well taken care of during the entire trip. Highly recommended!

What a wonderful journey from Vilnius to Riga! ❤️
Our guide Rūta was warm, intelligent, and deeply knowledgeable about the Baltic region and its history, with a clear love for Lithuania and this part of Europe. She shared fascinating stories along the way in a friendly, engaging way that made the long trip very enjoyable. Kind and easy to talk to, she made the journey feel special, and I arrived in Riga having learned a lot and grateful for the experience. I would happily travel with this agency again and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Baltics.❤️
