My name is Riga. I was born more than eight centuries ago at the Daugava River and since then I have become much more beautiful and attractive. My father was Bishop Albert of Livonia and I was happy with it, but then came a lot of foreigners, who wanted to conquer my heart. However, I managed to stay strong and proud. Listen to my name again – Ri-ga. It sounds like music, like a promise, like a secret. Come and discover it!

Adequate
Good tour and informative. Our guide had modest English skills and felt like she was working to a script and schedule. But, she did know where every old city wall ever existed and so there's that... But for me, when someone works to a script, it's like reading a Wikipedia page instead of having a dialogue about the history and culture of the city.

Great Tour and Guide
Despite the cool and rainy weather, we thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour. Very knowledgeable and professional guide who knew a few places to get out of the weather.
Q
Great walking tour!
Tatjana was a great teacher of the architecture and history of Riga! We had a very nice time with our small group and would highly recommend this tour!
N
Knowledgeable and personal tour
A detailed and personal review of Riga's and the old town's history from the knowledgeable guide Inara. We were extra lucky and were just a couple who got a tour that day, probably because we took the trip a bit late in the season. Recommended.
S
Private tour of Riga
The private tour of Riga was awesome. I would definitely recommend it. Out tourguide Gunta was very knowledgeable.
R
Informative tour of the old town.
The guide, Imara, was very knowledgeable and offered a lot of information about the history, language and sites of Riga. As we were the only people on this particular tour she geared the walk to our pace and interests. Many sites in the old town were covered with interesting stories. Imara also suggested a concert in the cathedral which was excellent. Highly recommend this tour.

What a wonderful city to explore and Inara was the best person to help us explore it. So many hidden things amongst the buildings and streets. Riga is an ancient city with warm and friendly people.

First time to Latvia
Very informative walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable on Lativa during both NAZI Germany and Russian rule.

Amazing diodes walking tour
Out guide was absolutely phenomenal!! Was so interesting. I was utterly captivated by everything she said. By far the best guided walking tour I have ever done in my life!!! Told some personal stories too and you could tell everyone in our group was spellbound…. Only negative was actually trying to find exactly where we were to meet our guide in the town hall square. We nearly gave up as couldn’t see any umbrella or canapé……
