We did not receive the email from the tour company saying the tour start time had been moved from 9:30 to 9:00 so we were that couple that held up the tour for 30 minutes. Not a good start , but our guide Emil was the best. THE BEST. We had a very nice tour. Highly recommend it. If you get Emil you’ve hit the jackpot.
Emils provided us with lots of interesting historical and cultural information about Latvia. The walking was easy, as Latvia is very flat, but you do need to watchful on the cobblestones. Afterwards we had extra time to explore the old town before walking back to our ship.
Tour was wonderful and our guide was one of the best. Loved Riga and the depth of our guide’s knowledge plus his sense of humor made our day very enjoyable.
We had a great experience with Emils on our walking tour of Riga. He offered a lot of information and history as we toured the newer city and old town. He was also very helpful for places to eat and things to do after the tour. We were a small group so had a couple of extra, quick stops and some local snacks. Truly enjoyable day!
Great way to see Riga in few hours, with great guy . Tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice . Thanks to him we learned a lot about Latvia history
We had such a great experience touring Riga with Emils !He was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, sharing so much about the city’s history, culture, and interesting little details along the way. What really made the tour stand out, though, was his fantastic sense of humor. He kept us laughing and engaged throughout the entire tour and made learning about Riga genuinely fun.

Emil’s/Emails: how Super Fantastic was your expertise on this walking tour! We hit every spot I wanted to visit and the information you provided was greatly appreciated. You made the day fun - even with the drizzle. An amazing day with an amazing guide!
Emīl was an excellent tour guide. His tour was better than any of our NCL cruise excursions we booked, and a much better value. We appreciated his personal perspective on living in Latvia and how he tied that into historial lessons about Latvia. Emīls was kind and patient, he shared interesting and relevant information the entire time, and the tour was well organized. He shared delicious local snacks with us, which I appreciated. He showed us great local spots to try, which we loved. When our lunch break ran long he kindly adjusted and was flexible with us. I highly recommend this tour with Emīls.
Emīls was an awesome your guide. He shared a lot of useful information about each location and general context of Riga's history. He is the best tour guide for the area.
