Guide makes it all up
The guide who drove us around, and nearly into nearby people on walking tours, stopped the audio frequently to tell racist, misogynistic, and consistently incorrect facts and history about the city and country. Fun to ride around town, but don’t listen to what the guide says - we fact checked and it’s *all* wrong.
Operator response
Thank you for the information! Our other guide is very friendly and knowledgeable and receives only positive feedback. The guide mentioned in your review has been dismissed and no longer works with us.

Good start to old town Riga!
This was a very good way to get acquainted with Rigas old town on my second day in the city. A slow but steady trip so I didnt have to treat the cobblestones. I would recommend this tour even though I had difficulty with the Viator agent who cancelled my first tour even though I had paid. Luckily, it worked out in the end. Will also add that the e-car driver was out of sync with the audio provided and even though he added som facts, his English was not very good. Last words....why does the audio voice only address the "gentlemen" in the group?????
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We will pass your comments about the audio guide on to our colleagues.
