Great tour with an informative guide!
We enjoyed our tour of Riga, although were surprised when the guide left us at the restaurant. She was very informative and we enjoyed the tour quite a bit. We had a taste of 2 levels of alcohol shots and then some Latvian foods hat were very good.

Not great!
The service was not very friendly!! Very dark and the food was not what we expected. Staff a bit rude and didn’t feel welcome.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you felt the service was not up to your expectations. Our tour guide provided all the information in advance, and we ensured you received the tour plan the day before as well as a program outline on the day of the tour. We also upgraded your experience with a 5-drink traditional tasting, in addition to the guided tour and food tasting at a medieval location. As you mentioned, the setting is intentionally dark to reflect its historical authenticity, as shown in our photos. We did not receive any concerns from you during the tour or through customer service, but we’ll certainly take your comments on board and work to improve our guest experience moving forward.

Great experiance
Just returned from a fantastic medieval tour. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and brought history to life with engaging stories. We explored stunning castles and ancient streets, with plenty of fascinating details about the era. The immersive experience made it feel like stepping back in time. A must-do for history buffs and anyone intrigued by the medieval world!

Amazing weekend trip in Latvia
Our friend’s trip to Latvia was something special. Starting from arrival, all the transfers and hotels were arranged by the company. Thanks for the great suggestions, activities during the weekend, boat trip in the river and beach party was the highlights for sure! Our guide Daria was the best 🎉🎉
