Zeltiņi Nuclear Missile Rocket Base - En av de mest imponerande sovjetiska militärarvet i Lettland. Under den sovjetiska ockupationen på denna militära bas lagrades 4 medelstora P-12 och P-12У raketer utrustade med kärnkrigshuvuden. Just nu överges basen. Vi börjar med ett besök på det lokala museet tillägnad denna bas och den lokala byn och fortsätter att basera efteråt. Vi kommer att kunna se militära strukturer, raketlagringshangarer, lansera silor och massiva Lenins huvud mitt i allt.
På rehabiliteringscentret Līgatnes territorium, 9 m under jord, finns en välutrustad bunkeranläggning med en total yta på 2 000 kvm, vars sekretessgradering avlägsnades först 2003. Bunker byggdes för de sovjetiska politiska och statlig myndighetselit på 1980-talet för statsadministration vid kärnkrig. Alla interna delar av Bunker och utrustning bevaras i original skick. Besöket i bunkeren kommer att ledas av en lokal guide på engelska.
Mores Battle Museum skapades på en plats där under andra världskriget, från 26 september till 6 oktober 1944, pågick hårda strider mellan lettiska legionärer och soldater från den sovjetiska armén. I samarbete med Soldatföreningen och Lettiska Officersföreningen designades den första utställningen av föremålen som hittades på slagfältet och dokumenterat material om detta krigsepisod. På första våningen i museet kan du se en redogörelse för krigsteman, på andra våningen finns en utställning av gamla hushållsartiklar och hantverk, men i friluftsutställningen kan du se tanken T-34.

If you want to educate yourselves on Russian Latvian Cold War history this tour is every bit worth it. And if you have MARTIN as your driver and guide your day is made. He is absolutely very knowledgeable and definitely takes great pride in imparting the same.The trip was made really memorable as MARTIN walked the extra mile in showing us a welll curated military museum the Mores museum and the icing on the cake was the MI26 helicopter.10/10 to martin and a big thank you too.
Thank you very much for the review!
This is one of the coolest day trips I've been on. First of all the driver/guide was amazing - he was clearly knowledgeable on the sites, but also a really good conversationalist. He was also adaptive to any deviations in the set plan. To me, the most incredible part was being out in the forest alone at the missile base with the crumbling buildings. It really gave a sense of secrecy and isolation and real world issues faced by soldiers and civilians. The tour at the bunker was really good - the guide was knowledgable and was very clearly on when we. could touch, take pictures, and of course the subject matter. Would recommend.
Thank you very much for the review!
What a fantastic, unique trip with an absolute gem of a guide. From the beginning to the end, our guide Martins was fantastic - looking after us really well and giving us lots of insight and facts about all things Latvia - from history to culture, language and much more. We got to visit the old missile base, a military history museum, the secret bunker and Martins also took us to see another vehicle that my son had a particular interest in which was really the icing on the cake. We thought this was the best tour we’ve ever done, and with the best guide. If you’re interested in the places on this tour I highly recommend booking to see them with Martins. It was a fabulous day with lots of unique experiences that we will never forget. Thanks for a wonderful day!
Thank you very much for the review!
This is an excellent day out which is fascinating - particularly so if you are interested in military or cold war history - and allows you to access two previously secret Soviet Latvian facilities. We were picked up from our hotel which was very convenient given it was an 8am (due to the distances travelled over the course of the day). Our driver and guide, Martins, was brilliant. He was very informative, very friendly, very accommodating and, of course, a very good driver. Martins also acted as our guide around the former missile base and was very patient with our constant questions and photo stops! He is a great ambassador for his employers. He also took us to an excellent country restaurant for lunch - great food and great value. Our guide around the underground bunker, Regina, was also excellent. She was full of information and had a great sense of humour. Our party on this trip consisted of 4 adults so I thought the cost per person represented good value.
Dear Grant, Thank you for this comprehensive review. Very much appreciated!
Sorry, idk if the problem is this Viator site or Baltic Tours…I book a tour, receive confirmation with a tour reservation number, then hours later I receive an email telling me Baltic Tours has cancelled my reservation. The email then asks me to try another tour or date, so I do….and the process repeats. Done with Viator/Baltic Tours…I’ll stick with Latvian Gem for tours, at there I can communicate with someone who will respond.
Dear Sir, Your message was sent on Saturday evening and when we replied on Monday you already gave this negative review when you even had not experienced this day trip. Putting up negative reviews without experiencing the trip is not right. You should wait until Monday when office can reply your requests.
I'll start off by saying I went solo but for the price I should have dragged along some other friends. Even so, it was still very worth it compared to something cheaper like a chartered tour bus. Pretty certain I got an experience a bus tour won't give you. We'll start right at the beginning. Martins shows up at the hotel lobby with my name on a sign, like a driver at the airport. Already a great first impression. Mind you, the trip to the missle base is a 2-hour drive so having a personable driver for a lengthy road trip helps pass the time quickly. Then we get to the missle base. There is no set path, but Martins knows all the places to stop and look around. Even better is that he knows Russian and was able to translate the signs for certain places like the guard house or rest area. The whole place has a gravity to it, even as time has taken its toll on the buildings, like you can still feel the energy of being constantly ready for war. Next is the secret bunker. We drive back towards Riga for around an hour. Martins gets me to their guided tour right on time. Actually a little early so I get taught a local Latvian billard type game using wooden discs. The tour was interesting, and it definitely captures the look and feel of 80s Soviet culture. The grey meat dumplings at the end really emphasized the dour mood of being constantly watched by the KGB. Lastly was the war museum. An interesting collection of German and Soviet equipment. Apparently not everyone gets to climb on the vehicles, so being allowed to climb up on the tank for an epic photo shoot definitely ended the day on an excellent note. I can't recommend this excursion enough. Especially for those with any interest in the world wars or the Cold War.
Excellent trip! Martins was great and went above and beyond to make the day enjoyable. Highly recommend for those into Soviet or Cold War history.
