Assaggia Riga - Tour privato del sapore lettone
Descrizione
Un tour privato attraverso i gusti e i sapori della gente della Lettonia. Nel corso dei secoli i lettoni hanno assorbito tradizioni e cucine da tutte le culture che hanno governato in queste terre - tedeschi, svedesi, russi - e dopo tutto, anche l'Unione Sovietica aveva il suo modo di fare le cose in cucina. Forse a causa del gusto, ma probabilmente per necessità i lettoni hanno acquisito il loro gusto distinto per le cose e questo tour è tutto incentrato su questo. Per prima cosa vagheremo per il mercato centrale e assaggeremo tutti i prodotti stagionali disponibili (circa 10 diversi tipi di cibi/bevande) e poi passeremo a una "caffetteria" in stile post-sovietico dove potrai goderti un pasto adeguato di cibi tradizionali lettoni. Quindi, se scegli di prenotare questo tour, per favore, vieni affamato :) Tieni presente che mangiamo principalmente roba di stagione, quindi i cibi possono variare notevolmente da tour a tour, quindi le immagini allegate sono solo un esame

Itinerario
Questo è uno dei pochissimi bazar principali delle città europee che funziona ancora come un vero mercato di generi alimentari invece di essere convertito in una trappola per turisti che vende souvenir. Qui puoi dare un'occhiata a ciò che la gente del posto acquista effettivamente. Esplorerai il mondo della cucina lettone assaggiando alcune cose tradizionali a seconda della stagione e, se ti piacciono, acquisterai oggetti da portare a casa con te. Ascolterai le storie di come e perché il più grande mercato d'Europa all'epoca (e tuttora) è stato costruito e come è riuscito a sopravvivere alla marcia altrimenti vittoriosa delle catene di supermercati. Potrai anche dare una sbirciatina alle abitudini alimentari locali. Potrai gustare un vero pasto casalingo lettone a più portate insieme alla cucina tradizionale in un ambiente post-sovietico.

Wow, what an experience! If you want to enjoy and taste Latvia, do this tour!! Our tour guide Harijs was just fantastic! He explained us the whole story about the market, the delicious food and also other stories about Riga/Latvia. His explained it in a funny way that makes it very interesting! We loved listening to him! We could taste a lot of different local food and he explained everything about it. Finaly we had a great Latvian lunch! We highly recommend this tour for everyone who loves to taste the local food of Latvia!
Our guide, Harrisy, was amazing. He checked in with us prior to the tour to be sure we knew what to tell the cab driver. Very thoughtful. Interesting stories. Wonderful food. Very generous samples. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it very highly, particularly with this guide (whose name I am sure I misspelled.
Harijs was such a lovely tour guide! Not only did he show us some traditional Latvian food at the market but the knowledge behind everything was amazing, nice to know why some food is popular and how it came about. I would definitely recommend this tour, and definitely recommend to try everything! My favourite is still the pie!
The highlight of our trip by far. Harijs was so lovely and informative for the whole tour. Not only explaining the food we were eating and seeing but also telling us about Riga and Latvia as a whole. The market is very interesting to see and the food was all lovely and different. We done this on our last day at Riga but I would recommend doing this day 1 as the information we got from this tour was better than the walking tour we had done around the city of Riga for understanding the culture and the people.
Harijs is one of the best, if not the best, guides I’ve ever come across. He is a very intelligent, polite and friendly person. He has extensive knowledge on culture and history (and not limited to local history). His speech is very informative but as well entertaining. We were a private group and he adjusted the program to our needs. Though it must have been difficult to take a group to a place like the central market where everybody wants to wonder around and see the things they want to which definitely slows down a program, I haven’t noticed the slightest sign of impatience on him. It was a very comprehensive tour on Latvian food, history and everyday life of locals. Though most of these tours are carefully advertised as the amount of food is equal to a light lunch, on this tour we ended up with a full stomach. I can’t even count how many things we sampled and ate. All in all, I highly recommend any of his tours, you won’t be disappointed. It wouldn’t be nice to say something about guides in Riga since I don’t know any other than him but on the basis of my plenty of experiences in different countries I do believe that he is the best choice in Riga. I hope we’ll have the chance to go on a tour with him again. Ps: ‘honest tours’ might sound strange but what I understood is that he is really honest on a way that he wouldn’t recommend anything like places or merchandise that he himself didn’t go to or didn’t buy. His priority is your experience and he avoids tourist traps.
