Traveled with family and everyone enjoyed it. The tour isn't overly strenuous, the bus provides great breaks from walking, and the sights keep you engaged. Riga is definitely a hidden gem in the Baltics.
Very interesting tour!!!! Guide very knowledgeable!!! Enjoyed this tour very much!!! Highly recommended!!!
Emil was an absolutely outstanding tour guide! Great stories, great knowledge, great love of the city of Riga, and a good understanding of the pace and capabilities of the group he was leading. I highly recommend this tour and this guide if you have a visit to Riga in your plans!
Everything about this tour felt high-end. The guide's English was flawless, the bus was premium, and the local tips we got for shopping and dining during our free time were spot on. Highly recommend.
The advertising for this excursion was deceptive. It was called a “private” tour with a driver. We got there met the guide Rita and were told there were 20 people on the waiting bus. We were very upset about this but we t on with the guide. She was excellent. Just know up front this is what you’re getting for your “private” tour in Riga
Thank you for your feedback. When booking through Viator in the future, please note that all private tours are clearly labeled as “PRIVATE” directly in the tour title. Safe travels.
This is a walking tour through old town learning about architecture of the buildings in the city.. Lots of cobblestones throughout. Not much time for exploring on your own and shopping.. good part was that it picks you up and drop off at the cruise terminal. If you want more adventure choose a different tour.
Thank you for your feedback. Please note that the “Additional Information” section of the tour description clearly states that this tour is not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for guests with limited walking ability, as Old Riga is a pedestrian-only area. Safe travels.
We got an incredible overview of do many areas. Our guide Rita was passionate and so very well informed. It was also a course on Art Nuveau architecture.
Quick, smooth, and actually enjoyable. That’s rare with cruise excursions 😅 but this one got it right. Enough walking to explore, enough driving to not get tired. Perfect combo.
If you like cities that aren’t chaotic or overcrowded, you’ll love this. Riga feels clean, calm, and a bit underrated. The Art Nouveau area? insane details. I didn’t expect to be that impressed, but here we are.
Marvellous tour. We saw the must-see spots: Dome Cathedral, House of Blackheads, and even a quiet courtyard with murals. Guide told some cool stories and gave enough time for photos. Small group made everything easier and more fun.
