Flexible and fun
Very enjoyable 3 hour tour and conversation with Arturs. The agenda was set by my interests and Arturs English was excellent. We stayed mainly in the old town but visited some other areas too, including the railway station which is a remarkable place!

Old town Riga a must visit
The private walking tour of old town Riga was most interesting and educational. Our guide, Orhan is very knowledgeable and friendly. Made us feel at home immediately, and we could enjoy the tour at our own pace. He is a credit to Viator
