What an extraordinary tour! Emils was so interesting and, in addition to providing information about the art nouveau architecture, he also provided us with lots of great background information about Latvia and lots of great recommendations of where we should go for the best coffee, drinks, food, etc! He was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Marci! Hope to see you in Riga soon again!
This was truly a wonderful tour to get acquainted with the gems of Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) architecture for which Riga is so famous. Emils shared many interesting facts throughout the walk, making the experienc every informative. Time passed very quickly as we explored the city, and the grand finale—Alberta Street—was the perfect cherry on top.
Thank you for the wonderful review! All the best!
