Riga Private Guided Tour With A Professional Guide
Description
Riga was founded in 1201 by a former Hanseatic League member. It is one of the largest cities in Latvia (known as Paris of the Baltic States), famous for its Old Town, city center, and for its nightlife. It also has one of the busiest airports in the baltic states. The tour will take you past the city’s major attractions, like its landmark public buildings. You will see Riga’s Art Nouveau houses and the recently opened National Library. Of course, we will not miss the largest churches in town, like the Dome Cathedral, St. Jacob’s Church and St. Peter’s Church. Come with us for an exploration of the Old Town’s maze of cobblestone alleys.

We were given the wrong meeting point. On a private tour there should be an option to meet at one’s hotel rather than at another meeting point. The tour guide was good but not exactly engaging.
The meeting point provided was correct and located very close to your hotel. However, based on the information given to our guide at the time, it was understood that you wished to meet in the hotel lobby rather than outside. Regarding your comment about the guide not being engaging, please note that guests are always welcome to request specific topics of interest during the tour. Our guides are flexible and can adjust the storyline on the spot to better match individual preferences.
Dominique was our Chauffeur and he was awesome. Great driver and tour guide. Mercedes Van was comfortable and spacious.
We're so glad to hear you had a great experience with Dominique! It's wonderful that he made the tour enjoyable both as a driver and a guide, and that the Mercedes van added to the comfort of your trip. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future!
