Riga 2026 Calendar of Events

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!

Great experience! Good information from the audio guide but also the driver gave me additional information. It's definitely a nice was to get acclimated to Riga and start a visit here.

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!!!

The sightseeing transfer from Tallinn to Riga was the best decision I made during the Baltic trip! It allows me to see 3-4 interesting sites outside the two cities in reasonable amount of time and a very relaxing way! Every stops was enjoyable : castles stops, the pretty little town stop, the Bobsleigh stop, the brewery stops where we had lunch. I should mention our driver a.k.a tour guide from this particular company, Mattiis, who was the highlight of the whole experience! Mattiis has substantial knowledge on all sites we visited, was keen to explain and answer questions, was easy to connect to everybody, was extremely generous in giving recommendations on places to visit and to eat in the Baltics. A real definition of a guy who is willing to go extra miles!

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 !

Great way to learn about Latvian culture

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.

A looong day but so worth it! Janar was our guide, very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot, particularly about Estonian culture and history. A great way to continue sightseeing whilst moving between cities.

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!

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.❤️

Best place in the city for a 360° view. Placards explain key points throughout the city which is informative and helpful.
