I booked the tour online, but never received any confirmation of my booking even though the money was withdrawn from my account. Thus I contacted Smile line asking for confirmation, but they staten that they had not received any money and that I would be welcome on the tour and pay in cash. I responded with the proof of payment, to which no response. The date of the tour passed and obviously I did not want to pay twice, so we did not get to go on the tour.. Afterwards I requested for a refund of the money, as I had not gotten any tour, but now I am simply being ignored.. this is not acceptable and I just want my money back..
We really enjoyed our walking tour with Gunta. It was the perfect way to kick off our 3-day weekend in Riga: we learnt more about the history of the country and the evolution Latvian Architecture over the 19th and early 20th century, and got to see all of the city's most fabulous Art Nouveau buildings. The tour ends at the Art Nouveau Centre - which allowed us to carry on with a visit if this lovely museum where you get a change to visit a period furnished Art Deco apartment. I can't think of a better introduction to Riga. Gunta is a wonderful guide. She is lovely, and really knowledgeable.
We picked random a guide for beer 🍺 tour in Riga. We had also a history touring because Gunta our great guide was terrific 👌👌 she told interesting storys and walked with us a big tour in the central city of Riga.
She is a very knowledgable guide and has answers to all questions. We got a good insight in Jugendstil / Art nouveau in Riga
I randomly picked this walking tour and it was one of my best city experiences. Our guide Gunta was from Riga and very proud of her city and its history. In two hours she showed us the art deco buildings in the Old City and the Quiet District and everything else she could while walking. She was very knowledgeable and presented the buildings and their history, the architects and the historical setting with facts and humour. I liked it so much that I went back for another tour of the Old City next day.
