We had a wonderful tour! Our guide, Alexander, was very personable and knowledgeable, we got to ride the excellent public transportation to the Central Market and learn about some options for souvenir shopping along the way. The market is amazing - so much fresh and delicious food, so clean, and we only saw a fraction of it. The tastings were excellent and we purchased a round of artisanal cheese that would have cost 5x as much back home (if one could find anything so delicious). We're so glad we took this tour!
Thank you David!
My guide was very knowledgeable and was born and raised in Riga. He was very kind and made excellent conversation. He pointed out major sites while we rode the tram and then showed me some of the different food options at the Central Market. I went back to the market the next day to purchase some things for myself. Excellent experience. 10/10 would recommend!
Thank you!
