Great commentary. Clean and comfortable. Left on time. Arrived on time. Half on canal. Half on river.
Experience very nice Tara welling with family .. two who have difficulties walking. Was very helpful in helping to accommodate our needs. The scenery was beautiful and the boat very comfortable
Unfortunately, the trip was not conducted with one of the beautiful wooden boats we were looking forward to. Two people who had not booked in advance joined us. That was it. So disappointing!
It was a lively, relaxing boat ride around Riga. It was wonderful to see the sights from a water view. I highly recommend.
Really nice trip with a good audio guide
Had booked this tour for Friday but since it was so windy we or the others who would also go with us did not want to go. We got our money back. On Saturday it was sunny and fairly calm wind so we booked the tour again. Very nice. We went on the canal and under a total of 15 bridges. The voice that was played to us was very clear so it was easy to understand what was being said. Even the man who drove the boat told me a lot. As I said, a nice boat trip. Recommended
The tour was nice in itself, but it was difficult to hear the information from speakers,who were programmed in advance.
This was a pretty tour of the canals and river. Very nice
Nice boat ride, good skipper. Great way to see the city from a different perspective….
