Latvia Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Laura (the driver cum guide) is a very energetic person who does not let a single moment go dull, the drive itself was pleasant and with stops at right intervals so as to not make it a travel but an experience. The places we stopped were very picturesque and the lunch was really good (and light on the purse). Overall, a great way to kill two birds (see the Baltic states and get to Vilnius) with one trip. Highly recommended.

This was a good cruise and we enjoyed it - although it was extremely wet, so didn’t go out to the top deck- which I believe is a great place for the cruise. The staff were great too I thought there would be an audio with it, but just relaxing music Great way to spend an hour though.

It was very easy to find the boat and the tropical theme was very nice. The music was a little loud at times but nothing too serious. The servers were great and there was amazing service. We recommend!

Eva was a well-informed, easy to understand guide who provided a great tour for our group of 8 people. Well worth the money!

It was a great day with Martins! He was not only informative but personable and enjoyable to be with. He made the day! I highly recommend him

Amazing value for money, great trip around Riga and all its history. Great driver and great experience

Michael was a great guide with overview of the market, introducing new foods with stories of his grandmother and family. Very well done and fun.

Alexander was a very interesting and humorous guide. If you want to see the main areas to get your bearings and hear historical details book this tour. He gave us some great advice regarding our trip as well.

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!

Elena showed us the markets with a wide selection of Latvian delicacies. The tastings were great and really informative.

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!

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!!!

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 !

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.

Nice view of Riga from above and not too many stairs. Elevator up and only walk 2 flights up.

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!
